However, I'm reminded to fulfill our Fresh Com's (newly found) motto: We finish what we have started (by Pendy Anggoro) huahaha
So, here we go, Part 2
Ephesians 3:14-15
14For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
'is named' is an expression derived from the custom in a family, where they bear the name of the Head of the family.
That's why, in God, we are one big family :)
16That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man
Do we still pay attention in taking care of our inner man ?
Do we train our inner man routinely and give the 'proper food' (God's Words)?
It will be granted by His Spirit, so seeking Him with all our might is the key to strengthen our inner man
17That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
Does Christ dwell in your heart?
Does His love flow through your life?
18May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;19And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
20Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
Knowing Jesus and His love that exceeds knowledge is a process, a continuous yet life fulfilling process
The point is that our ultimate goal is to know the personality of Jesus Christ
If you need after something like, His anointing, blessing, guidance, grace, favour , you are not exactly wrong, but above all, do you need Him Himself?
Ko Rizaldi Putra described it to us through this story about a couple.
The wife asked for a new car, granted by her husband.
New house, granted
Jewelries, granted
Getting their children into proper education, granted
etc etc
And then he said:
If I were her husband, I would wonder and ask "Do you ever ask for me? Do you need me?"
Same goes to us, we sometimes feel that we know God. But, DO WE?
Ask this directly to Him, let it be our prayer.
Jesus is all we need, He is sufficient for us
