GLORIOUSLY STRENGHTENED FROM WITHIN β PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man (Ephesians 3:14-16).
The portion of Scripture in Ephesians 3:14-21 is one of the most profound and climactic revelations given to Paul by the Holy Spirit. It unveils the prayer of the Spirit, which is the will of the Father for every Christian. Notice the 16th verse; Paul prays that God would ββ¦ grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man.β He wants you gloriously strengthened on the inside.
Why does God want you strengthened from within? Why does He want to make you strong on the inside? Itβs against whatβs on the outside! Remember what He said in 1 John 4:4, βYe are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.β The focus is on whoβs inside you and the power at work in you. Heβs talking about you being supernaturally strengthened on the inside by His miracle-working ability.

Consider the example of John the Baptist, whom the scripture says was filled with the Holy Ghost from his motherβs womb, unlike any other prophet. Luke 1:80 tells us, βAnd the child grew, and waxed strong in spiritβ¦.β This is definitely not a description of the outward man but of the inner man. And because of the life John the Baptist was going to live, the forces he was going to encounter, and the ministry God had given him, he needed to be made strong in spirit.
Itβs the same today; this prayer of the Spirit is evidently the will of the Father for us, because itβs the inspired prayer for the Church such that none of us should be weak, fearful or timid. No! Irrespective of your physical frame, youβre strong inside. This is Godβs desire, dream, and plan for you. Therefore, every so often, declare, βIβm gloriously strengthened and constantly invigorated by the Holy Spirit who dwells in me. He gives me supernatural power, the miracle-working ability to do all things; thereβs no weakness in me.β Make this your habitual confession and see the magnitude of what will happen in your spirit, life and circumstances.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for granting me, according to the riches of your glory, to be strengthened with might by your Spirit in my inner man. I am empowered to face every challenge, fulfil my divine calling and walk in the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel. Your glorious strength works mightily in me, and I am victorious always, in Jesusβ Name. Amen.
