The Glorious Sustaining Power of Jesus

Hebrews 1:3 (AMP), Colossians 1:17
The Son is the radiance and only expression of the glory of [our awesome] God … and the exact representation and perfect imprint of His [Father's] essence, and upholding and maintaining and propelling all things [the entire physical and spiritual universe] by His powerful word [carrying the universe along to its predetermined goal]….*And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

------------------------------------------------------
On our own, we can never fully understand the greatness, the power and the awesome glory of our Lord and Saviour Jesus. When Peter saw just a glimpse of His glory on the mount of transfiguration, he was so amazed that he did not just want to leave that place anymore, Matt.17:1-6. Do you know that it is by the Word and Power of Jesus that all things are being sustained? I mean from the earth, to the sun, the moon, the rivers, mountains, clouds, all creatures as well as all other planets and galaxies. Jesus is the one who upholds them and keeps them running and functioning. All of life finds their source in Him for they were made by Him.

Since this same Jesus that sustains and upholds all, lives in you by His Spirit, your sustenance and flourishing in life is guaranteed. He is your sustainer and strengthener. You do not have anything to be worried or afraid of. For three and half years He lived with His disciples and sustained them. They never lacked anything. You are His disciple and you will not lack anything. Isaiah 41:10 says “fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus says all power in Heaven and earth has been given to Him, so go disciple all nations for He is with you always even unto the end of the world. Go forth and do exploits for God and in all areas of your life. You will know what to do. You shall never be stranded again in your life.

PRAYER FOCUS: Rejoice and worship Jesus for His mighty strength and sustaining power that is at work in every area of your life.
