The word for today is -Unlimited !

Good morning,
The word for today is -Unlimited !
 
Lets look at the conversation between Jesus and a rich ruler. A rich young man coming to Jesus asking Him a question,“what good things should, I do to inherit eternal life." Jesus declares that only the Father in heaven is good. After the young man failed twice to acknowledge his self-righteousness, Jesus continued to try to expose the sin in his heart. First, the young man was not as blameless as he thought he was because he was guilty of loving himself and his possessions more than his neighbor, (which was a broken commandment ), and second, he lacked true faith which requires an unparalleled devotion to Jesus. The young man asked, “What am I still lacking?” Read Matthew 19:20,The young man said unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? This is when Jesus called over His disciples to teach them a lesson. Jesus said, read Matthew 19:24,And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.The disciple’s response was, “Then who can be saved?” or, “Then how is it possible for anyone to be qualified to enter the kingdom of God"? Understand this, It is impossible for man to save himself by his own merits, or for the law to grant eternal life. Jesus replied,With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible! God can take the things that are impossible to man, and make them possible, because His power is unlimited, while ours ( MANKIND ) is limited. In other words,we are to be strong in the mighty power of God. This means that our strength is not our own power; it is not human or fleshly, its Spiritual.Read Ephesians 6:10-12,Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Our strength is not of this world, but our strength is found in Christ Jesus.There is no other source that gives man the strength to overcome the world with its trials, its temptations, and death. It is through submission to God’s strength that we overcome the power of Satan. God knows every single thing that is about to happen, read Psalm 139:1-5, O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. We thank you Lord for your power that dwells within us!  God is unlimited , He does whatever He chooses, anytime He chooses! We serve a big and powerful, and all knowing God. All we can do is to believe and trust what God has declared in His Word . Read Psalm 135:5-6, For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. The plan of God will be fulfilled, God made a way when the way was impossible for Us! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
