TEXT: EPHESIANS 3:17-21
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
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,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

MESSAGE
The storehouse of God is inexhaustible. This means the resources in God’s house is unlimited. It is like a river that never runs dry. No matter how much you have received from God, there is still more you can have from Him. God has and is willing to give us more than we can ask or desire.
God’s promises cover every area of our lives. He saves from sin, gives us the grace to overcome sin, power to tell others about the love of Jesus, wisdom, healing and health, success in examinations, abundant life, and much more.
Whatever you have received from God, it is possible to get more. If you have been saved from sin and washed by the precious blood of Jesus, that same blood can sanctify you and make you pure within. He did it for other people, He will do it for you too.
Don’t be moved by what others say or by their experiences, but by the word of God. There is more in store for you. Believe God for it, ask Him for it, trust in Him and then you’ll see it done.
Prayer: Dear Father, give me grace to continue to depend on You for all my needs.

2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
