Ephesians 3:20-21 "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus"
It's easy to get discouraged as we go through life. Our natural tendency is to complain and grumble when things don't go our way. Our society encourages such behavior as well. But we need to look at
biblical examples and God's Word in order to understand how to handle disappointment and delay.
We must remember this Scripture when we are going through difficult times, feeling down, and when we fail. We are a work in progress. God is not finished yet. He is perfecting and preparing us. And He is
FAITHFUL. He will complete His work in us.
When things go wrong or we fail, the enemy just loves to come around and whisper negative things into our heads..."your marriage will never be healed...your spouse will never return...you're not good
enough...'it's your fault....your spouse doesn't love you...you're this...you're that...you'll never...you'll always..."
While you are going through this situation in your home, you may have asked your pastor, a friend or your family for help to heal and restore. Healing and restoration CANNOT be accomplished through man, ONLY God can do this very thing. God is able to perform this difficult task. Your friends or family may have prayed or fasted, but man need the help of God to heal and restore.
Without God's permission and endowment, man has no power to heal and restore. God, on the other hand, needs neither permission nor help to accomplish great— even impossible things. As our verse for today teaches us, He is able to far exceed all that we might ask or imagine. Do you need healing and restoration today? What other needs do you have? What do you want God to accomplish in your life and through your life for His glory? Whatever is your answer, He is able to do all these things—and much more. Nothing is hard for the Lord. God is able to outdo your expectation.
Philippians 1:6- Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
Are you confident that God can heal and restore? Are you confident in God that what He has started He will complete. My friends, be confident in God, He will never fail you. He will finish this work He has started in you.
You may be hurting now, but He will finish His work. Your spouse may have abandoned you; you may have been divorced against your will; this will not stop the work has to complete in you. Yes, God will complete this work in you. Be confident of this very thing.
God is able to perform this miracle in your situation. Romans 4:21 - And being fully persuaded that, what He had promised, he was able also to perform.
He will perform – He will complete it. God will not leave His work unfinished or abandoned; He will continue to complete it until the day of Jesus Christ, He will finish. Separation, divorce, abandonment WILL not stop His work. Don't give in to despair no matter how bleak things look. You are on a journey that God wants to help you
complete. Separation or divorce will NOT thwart the plan God has for you. You have a promise from God that should encourage you. He will complete the good work He started in you!
God will keep working even when we are discouraged. When God starts a project, He completes it! As with the Philippians, When you are discouraged, remember that God won't give up on you. He promises to finish the work He has begun. When you feel incomplete, unfinished, or distressed by your shortcomings, remember God's promise and provision. Don't let your present condition rob you of the joy of knowing Christ or keep you from trusting Him and believing for the impossible.
What God begins, He completes. This should bring comfort to each of you who waits in anticipation for healing and restoration.
God can be trusted to do what He says. He will finish what He started in you. Plant a financial seed in our ministry today and watch God move in your life....
