Greetings and thank you for another opportunity to come to you today and spend a few moments together in God’s word and prayer. We are talking about strengthening our inner man. The apostle Paul prayed for the believers in Ephesus, he said, ‘I pray that God may grant to you, that you may be strengthened with might and power by His Spriit in your inner man.’ God wants us to become strong in our inner person/ spirit man and we are touching on various practices and disciplines that will help us receive supernatural/ divine strength in our spirit man. Today, I want to bring our attention to another practice in the word of God which is the confession of the word, that is us speaking the word of God. We see this in both the Old and the New testaments, where God taught His people saying that my word is near you, it is in your heart and in your mouth. In your heart, you believe my word and with your mouth, you confess the word, you say the word. As we do that, our spirit man is strengthened and becomes strong. In Philemon chapter 1, verse 6, Paul writing to Philemon, he says, that the fellowship of our faith may become effectual by the acknowledgement of every good thing which is in you, in Christ. He is telling Philemon, we need to do something as believers, in our fellowship, in our spiritual engagement to each other, we need to do something. What must we do? We must acknowledge/ recognize as a fact, we must state the fact, acknowledge the good things that are in us, in Christ. We know that as believers, we are in Christ Jesus. Our identity is in Him but now we must acknowledge the good things that are in us because we are in Christ. That means you recognize that as a fact, you begin to speak that upon yourself, you begin to say things about yourself based on your identity in Christ. You say that I am the righteousness of God, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, I am anointed by God, I am called and appointed by God to be fruitful and to be successful, I am an overcomer, I am born of God and I have overcome this world and so on and so forth. You speak and declare, you acknowledge every good thing that is in you, in Christ. Doing this is going to strengthen your inner man. So, develop the practice of confessing/ speaking/ declaring the word to strengthen your spirit man. Let’s pray, Father, even as we learn these disciplines that will strengthen our spirit, help us to do them consistently, help us to practice them consistently so we can become strong in our spirit and do mighty exploits for your kingdom, in Jesus’s name, Amen.
