THE TRUTH HOUSE CHURCH JANUARY 2014 PRAYERS AND FASTING
WEEK TWO PRAYER THEME:  OF HIS FULLNESS


 Exhortation:
Grace is a fullness into which the vessel of faith is to be dipped. Apostle Paul in Col. 2:9 vividly tells us that the fullness of the Godhead (trinity) dwells bodily in Jesus Christ. He is God's Chief Conservator of all spiritual blessings, bounties, and benefits of all grace, life, pardon, justification, and salvation that His people can experience in time and through eternity.

The fullness of Jesus Christ is the best way of describing Him in His divine richness, divine splendour, His All-powerfulness, All-sufficiency, All-powerfulness and everything that He is for all situations, all times and everywhere.  Eph. 1:23 says; ‘which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way’. This is an overflowing fullness, not a limited supply; rich, inexhaustible and abundant in supply to all who seek Him. It signifies abundance and perfection; having all it can contain; having no empty space; abundantly supplied or furnished; completeness.

Apostle Paul clearly understand the limitlessness of the fullness of God when he said we can be filled to the measure of all of God’s fullness (Eph.3:13) such that we can be sure to enter into another measure of His fullness just as soon as we are tempted to think we exhaust one. We are assured that grace upon grace is guaranteed once we receive through encounter with His fullness. This is why, in a year of ‘Grace for grace’, one most essential is the fullness of God which we must pray earnestly for in season and out of season.

Psalm 84:7 says; ‘they go from strength to strength (grace to grace), till each appears before God in Zion’. Until we are beneficiaries of the measure of His Fullness, there’s no assurance of grace to do and more grace to do more. The measure of the fullness of God in us is the licence we have to do, to overcome, to inherit, to access all things. The measure of His fullness in us is the authority that we have in Him. He works in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure.
