We would all like to experience more health, abundance and success in our lives. God, being God, has all of these things, won’t you agree? So to be full of God is to be full of health, abundance and success. But how does one become full of God?
In the past, I was told that to be “filled with all the fullness of God,” I had to fast a certain number of days, pray a certain number of hours and speak in tongues incessantly! I am not belittling fasting, praying or speaking in tongues, but to be filled with all the fullness of God is not about what you do. It is not even about your love for Christ. It is actually about knowing the love of Christ! No one ever told me that if I knew how much God loves me and focused on His love for me, I would be full of Him.
When God made you, He designed you to run at optimal level when you are filled with His love, like a car that runs at its best when it is filled with the right kind of petrol or gasoline. When you realize how much God loves you and you feed on His love for you, you will be supernaturally filled with the fullness of God.
And to be full of God is to be full of everything God is to you and has for you. To be full of God is to come to a place of life, health, peace, abundance—total wellness.
Also, when you are conscious of how much God loves you and you become filled with the fullness of God, what follows is the next verse—God doing exceedingly abundantly above all that you can ask or think, according to the power that works in you (see Ephesians 3:20). You will experience the tremendous blessings of God exploding in your life! You will become a blessing magnet!
So as God’s beloved, continue to be nourished by His love for you, and experience more health, abundance and success in your life!
"I'M HERE TO TELL YOU" EDITOR'S NOTE
The coolest car or the newest techno gadget in the world is nothing and no good if it doesn't have the power to do what it's suppose to do. Most everything in the world needs power to do what it does. Most times that power comes from an external source. Not many things have their own power built-in. Man was made to have his own power. God designed us so that we can do things on our own. Not plugged in and totally wireless. But there in lies the problem, mankind has become a do-it-yourself kinda thing. Pride comes from such a DIY mentality and usually small amounts of success. Really man was designed to work best when we are connected to an exterior power source. The power of the universe, the ultimate and exhaustible power of God. Really we are nothing and pretty useless on our own power. When we realize how to let go and let God... allow His Holy Spirit in us, to move us, we work a lot better. Today, as the day progresses, become aware of how much you are relying on your own power and stop trying so hard to function using your own power and let your loving Father in Heaven take care of it all. Then when life is effortless you know that it's not your power working in you, but that's the power of God working in you. The results? Abundantly more that you could ever imagine!
