Ephesians 3:20 “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above
all that we ask or think, according to the
power that worketh in us,”
God is able. Able to do anything that you are capable
of asking. Able to do anything you need him to do.
If you need a financier, he is able.
If you need a physician, He is able.
But it’s not just enough to know that God is able. A
lot of folks know that God is able, even the devil knows that God is able. Many
of us just don’t know that God “will do” they don’t know what He will do. If all
you know is that “God is able” then you’re never going to get anything done in
your life. You have to know that “he will do”
Let’s take a close look at the scripture, Eph. 3:20.
Let’s take the phrases and words apart so as to
understand better.
Note this: asking something of God is a form of worship. I’ll
say it again, when you ask God for something, you are telling Him that only Him
has the ability to do such as you are asking, you are putting Him in a class
all by Himself. You are telling Him “there is none like Him.” Notice that this
verse is a praise, Paul was just acknowledging the ability and capability of
God in worship.
“Now unto Him that is”
“Able to do”
“Exceedingly abundantly”
“Above all that we ask or think,”
“According to the power that is at work in us.”
Able do means God can do all that the human mind can
conceive, all that you can imagine, desire or think.
Exceedingly abundantly says He will go “beyond doing”
“excess doing” “more than enough doing” “extraordinary doing.” What I’m trying
to say is that He will not just do but He will surpass whatever there is to do.
He will stretch it until you can no longer comprehend.
Above ALL is the most interesting part, this level
tells me that God has no limit to what He is capable of doing. Think of it like
this, if He can make the earth out of nothing. The earth that houses all humans
and other things. What is it that little old you would ask of Him that He
cannot do?
GOD’S
ABILITY TO DO IS DEPENDENT ON YOUR AUTHORITY TO ASK
How many times do you quote this scripture “He is able
to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think,” and you stop
there? Try to take it to the end “according to the power that is at work in us”
that’s showing us that Gods ability to is conditional. It is dependent on His
power that is at work in us-the indwelling Spirit of God-the power that lies
dormant in us.
Get this: God does not bless lazy believers; the power has to
be working in you. If it were just about the ability of God to do, then He will
manifest His ability without us doing anything at all.
The Bible makes us to understand in Matt
18:18 “Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound
in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” It
did not say if heaven binds it then its bound on earth. God has the ability to
bind the devil and make sure he never raises a finger against you. But He gives
you the authority to bind and reserves the ability to himself. GET THIS: you do not have the “ability”
to do anything, you only have the authority to do. Let me explain,
