Ephesians 3:19 says to be filled with the fullness of God. Ever wondered how to be filled with the fullness of God? How can we do it practically?
Well, I was wondering the same and I asked the Lord during my prayer time to fill me with His fullness. I prayed, ‘God, I want to be filled with Your fullness today’. Then I remembered that He (The Lord Jesus Christ) is the word of God. I received a revelation that when I fill myself with the word of God; I am fillling myself with the fullness of God.
The Word Of God
The word of God is the written word of God that we find in the Bible. God and His word are inseparable, given that He is the word made flesh.
The word of God constantly points to Jesus. In the old Testament it points to the arrival of Jesus and the new testament is about Jesus. Hence, to have the knowledge of the love of Christ, we must know scripture. Because scripture reveals the love of Christ to us and Christ reveals Himself through scripture.
What Is Spiritual Food?
Spiritual food is similar to physical food. The word of God is our spiritual food. Just as eating is required to be filled with food, reading and meditating on God’s word is necessary to be filled with Him. Everything that goes inside of you becomes a part of you. The food you eat becomes a part of you. The things you watch enter into you through your eyes. The things you hear enter into you through your ears.
In the same way, when we read God’s word, it enters us. The more we dwell upon it by reading it and thinking about the word or doing a study about it, the word will get into you. In the beginning, maybe, you won’t see a big difference. It is the same as with eating healthy or junk food. It takes a while before you see the changes (either positive or negative) in your health.
The more you keep reading the word of God and keep filling yourself with the word, you are filling yourself with the fullness of God and you will begin to see changes in yourself and consequently in your life. Let the word always be on your mind so that it becomes etched in your heart.
Simple Strategy To Be Filled With the Fullness Of God
Have the word readily available always. We tend to eat a lot of food when food is readily available to us in our pantry or at hands reach on our table. It is the same with the word of God. We must have it readily available in front of us and with us at all times so that we have easy access to it.
One way to do this is to have scripture cards readily available with you.
Note: Feel free to use the Free resoure library on this blog where I have created 60 scripture cards about light. You can print them and use them everyday and take them with you everywhere you go. I will be releasing more free resources soon.
It takes discipline to read God’s word. Set aside time for the word, intentionally, everyday.
This is how we become filled with the fullness of God, when we understand the width and length and depth and height of the love of Christ for us revealed through His word.
