Where is your strength?

Ephesians 6.10
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

Paul says to the church that we are to draw our strength from the Lord and from his mighty resurrection power. In the epistle of Ephesians, we see all that God in his great grace has given to the church because of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 

The Holy Spirit is commanding us here to be strong in who you are in Christ, what you have in Christ and what you can do in Christ. He tells us to be strong in the redemption, in the inheritance, in the calling and in the resurrection power that he has given to every believer because of the finished works of Jesus Christ. Many times, believers depend too much on their flesh. The flesh would include their family status,  their background, their education, their achievements, their bank accounts, their professional position, their works, talents, skills, contacts etc. Paul says that we put no confidence in the flesh. Jesus said flesh counts for nothing, it's the spirit that gives life. We must develop our confidence in who we are in Christ, what we have in Christ and what we can do in Christ. In Christ, we have a new identity. This identity must dominate our thinking so that we can be used mightily by God for no flesh can boast in the presence of God.

We can be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might by consistently confessing our In Christ realities.  Find out In Him scriptures especially from the Pauline epistles and confess them daily. Give those scriptures a good amount of meditation and let these sink in your heart and mind. Make it a reality and let it govern your life. You will never be the same.
