Ephesians 3:20: Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.
You are blessed beyond measure! What exactly is to be blessed? To be blessed is ‘to have God’s favor, and God’s pleasure.’ In Ephesians 3:20, Paul wrote that God is able to bless you beyond your very own expectation. Notice the word ‘God is able.’ It’s in present tense. It’s about ‘now.’ Paul didn’t write ‘God was able’, or ‘God used to be able.’ So friends, you can be blessed beyond measure ‘now.’ If it has happened before in your life, it can happen again now!
The word ‘exceedingly’ is ‘huper’ in Greek, the original language of this text. It means ‘beyond, over and above, more than expected.’ So today, whatever breakthrough you are asking of God, He is able to do it, even beyond your expectation and measure. In other words, He can give you a pleasant surprise! So if you need a breakthrough in your finance, expect pleasant surprise from Him. If you are praying for ‘open doors’, get ready for pleasant surprise from Him. He has broken your curse when He died on the cross for you, and what you have now is blessings, and more blessings! Believe it, my friend.
I have personally experienced blessings beyond my wildest imagination. When I was a boy, I found out that I was born with speech impairment. I remember struggling to even say ‘hello’ clearly, and I was already ten years old then. My dad had to bring me for speech therapy in hospital, and get specialist’s help. Due to this impairment, I became a very shy, timid person, and without friends, as whatever I tried to speak out, it’ll only invite mockery and teasing from my schoolmates. I grew up this way. So through the years, I remembered asking God I wished to speak like a normal person, and I'd be more than happy if I could. You know what, not only God answered my prayer, He answered exceedingly abundantly above all that I asked or thought of. Today, not only have I been healed, the pleasant surprise is God did something beyond my wildest imagination. He made me a preacher, a teacher of the Word. Communicating with people and in the public has become one of my strengths today, and speaking in the public has become like second nature to me. Praise God! This has to be God’s work! Ephesians 3:20 says God is able to do it not according to my own power, but the ‘power’ that works in me. This word ‘power’ in Ephesians 3:20 is ‘dunamis’ in Greek. It means ‘God’s miraculous power.’ Hallelujah! He is always a miracle-working God. So beloved, if you are waiting for a breakthrough in your life, hang on there. Look to Jesus! Start to believe that you are already blessed, even beyond measure!
