Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than hell; what canst thou know? The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea. Job 11:7-9. God is too much and greater beyond any man’s thoughts, imaginations, expectations and measurements. He is exceedingly great, bigger than the biggest and higher than the highest, far beyond what is usual in magnitude or degree. His greatness is unsearchable (beyond investigation) and his understanding is infinite (endless). Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? There is no searching of his understanding. Isaiah 40:28.
Whatever knowledge or revelations any might claimed or seems to have about God are all in part, we shall only know and see him in his fullness and perfection after we might have put off this earthly tabernacle to be with him in glory; when in the ages to come, he will show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus for the possession of the inheritance undefiled, reserved in heaven for each and every over-comer. Ephesians 2:7. 1 Peter 1:3-4.
There are better and enduring substances awaiting us in heaven if we patiently, faithfuly and carefully run the race before us to the end to obtain the incorruptible prizes and rewards of our engagements and occupations for the Lord. It was this revelation that ignited Moses faith and action to identify himself with the common and despised people of God in the land of Egypt. Though, Moses was raised, learned and brought up at the palace of the king to live and enjoy luxury, but he preferred earthly and godly sufferings to earthly and sinful enjoyments, that at the end of his life, he should be counted worthy to gain eternal rewards, rest and blessings which moth and rust cannot destroy; and thieves cannot breakthrough to steal. Let us lay this to heart, that our pursuits and aspirations on earth are in compliance with the will and purposes of God in our lives, that nothing and no one is ever allowed to jeopardize our chances to het to heaven or to take the place reserved for us by Christ: by faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward. Hebrews 10: 32-39. Hebrews 11: 24-26.
Everything about God is breathtaking, supernatural and exceedingly great. This is our privileges as his adoptive children in Christ Jesus given for signs and wonders with exceeding great and precious unfailing promises (2 Peter 1: 3-4) that we might know the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: and hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him that fills all in all. Ephesians 1:15-23.
God is the Almighty and in other word, he is Omnipotent. He has spoken once and twice have I heard that power belongs to him. See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. Deuteronomy 32:39. Psalms 62:11. Job 26: 14.
The same resurrection power which bought Christ back to life from the dead on the third of his crucifixion now lives in us as the temple of the Holy Spirit. This is the power the bible calls as the powers of the world to come, or his divine power, or the power of an endless life. Hebrews 6:5: 7:15.
Let every man near or affar off acknowledge the power of the God of heaven and earth: the idols have spoken vanity, and their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after other gods. Where is the fury of the oppressor? All the power in heaven and on earth is given unto Christ in whom we are and lives in us. Who can stand in battle against the Lord of Hosts? Who shall be able to dis-mantle the tabernacle of the God of Jacob? What evil shall befall us when we are daily covered by the pillar of cloud in the day and are surrounded by the pillar of fire at night? Say unto God, how terrible art thou in thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. Psalms 66:3.
This is the power God transferred into Moses rod at the burnuing bush that was turned into a big snake before king Pharaoh that swallowed the imitated rods (turned into snakes) which the Egyptians magicians threw on the ground to challenge and contend against Moses: they ultimately acknowledged of the supremacy of God’s might and power to the finger of God as they called it. This is the same power that divided the red sea, so that the children of Israel should go through the dry land which Pharaoh and his armmies tried to go through the same were overthrown by God. It is the same power that brought down fire from heaven to force confessions out the mouths of the four hundred false prophets of Baal’s before prophet Elijah, king Ahab and all the children of Israel that the Lord, he is God. It is the same power that smote Ananias and Sapphire his wife to death after the declaration of Peter that they have not lied to men but unto God. And great fear of God came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things: lo, these are parts of God’s works and ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? But the thunder of his power who can understand? Job 26:14.
It is a necessity our part to pray for the manifestations of God’s power on earth and in the church and our lives that men might believed, except they see signs and wonders, they will not believe. We should pray like Apostle Paul did, that we might know by our personal experience and testimony of the power of his resurrection because the kingdom of God is not in talk, but in power. 1 Corinthians 4:20.
Every children of God ought to be powerful if they filled with the spirit as commanded by the scriptures for we have been given power and authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions; and over all the powers of the enemy without any harm or hurt. Believers ought to be strengthened with might by the Holy Spirit in the inner man; then shall the saying be fulfilled that greater is he that lives in them than he that is in the world. Therefore, the inner man should be nourished daily and constantly with the word of God and re-fire with prayer without ceasing, that Christ may dwell in the heart by faith and that such faith should not stand in the wisdom of men but in exceeding greatness of the power of God.
We are assured that he will hear when we called because he has bid us to pray. The Lord shall give abundant blessings in response to our prayers because he is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to give double for all our troubles. Our help (answers to prayer) comes from the Lord as long as we seek heavens presenting our pleas before our beloved Boaz -Christ that cares for us. Wheat handfuls of purpose shall fall for us that we might gather and have much more than our strength could gather and more than of our heart desire. Ruth 2:16.
He that made the barren (Hannah) woman to have seven children shall do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think if we persist in prayer. He that multiplied five loaves and the two fishes to feed the multitudes and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets shall do exceeding and abundantly above all that we ask or think. The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river; and he fed in the wilderness with manna for forty years until after they had eaten of the old corn of the land and the children of Israel did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year -he shall do exceeding and abundantly above all that we ask or think according to his power that works within us. Ephesians 3:20-21. 2 Chronicles 25:9.
