God works His Way, Will and Purposes in us

For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to do of His good pleasure Phil 2:13

Every believer operates from an advantageous position. That is what John refers to as ‘the power to be, called the sons of God this power is the right or privilege of sonship Jn 1:12. While God works on you and His glory is seen upon you, the best yet is the work that He is doing in you!

Paul admonished according to the power that works in us Eph 3:20. There is a power that is at work in the children of God, this power configures everything to work for the children of God according to His will. God works from inside to the outside: For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to do of His good pleasure.

Every child of God must be more conscious of the inner workings of the Spirit than of miracles and other outward realities. Jesus talked about the Holy Spirit in Jn 14:17 …But ye know Him, for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. In other words, the Holy Spirit will be in us, working in us; hallelujah.

Peter counselled, Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart 1 Pet 3:3-4. Inside or the inner place (man) is that place that is not seen but is real; it is the place of consecration, concentration of power, and store house of grace. God’s work starts here. Every great work starts here. God wants us to pay attention to the hidden man of the heart.

Note that God working on you is about you being a product (a noticeable external reality), but God working in you is about an inner capacity that powers living.

You are more than you think you are, you have a lot more working in your favour than you will ever imagine. We are indeed blessed. God wants you to be conscious of this work: so whether you feel good or bad, God is at work: deserted, rejected, dejected, lonely, God is at work: rich or poor, God is at work: bitter or better, God is at work. The reality of the work inner work dawns on you the more you pay attention to the inner man

God bless you
