HE IS WONDERFUL
Memorise: And the peace of God, which passeth all
understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7
Read: Philippians 4:6-7, Bible in one year: 1st Chronicles
9:35-11:47, Luke 15:25-16:13
One of the names or titles of our Lord Jesus Christ is
wonderful (Isaiah 9:6). The word ‘wonderful’ is a
combination of these two words: ‘wonder’ and ‘fully’, which
jointly mean full of wonders. Acts 2:22 says, “Ye men of
Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man
approved of God among you by miracles and wonders
and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as
ye yourselves also know:”
The terms miracles, wonders and signs in this scripture are
placed according to their order of awesomeness. It means
that wonders are superior to miracles in awesomeness and
of a higher grade. When you look at Jesus, you will discover
that everything about Him is full to wonders. His Name is
Wonderful because it is far highly exalted above every other
Name (Philippians 2:9-11). His Name commands the
compulsory obedience of every force or power that exists.
Not only is His Name full of wonders, but His love is also
wonderful. No one else can love you like Jesus does. He
loves you even much more than you love yourself. What
about His peace? It is very unique; it is unlike anything the
world can offer you (John 14:27). No wonder Philippians 4;7
says His peace passes all human understanding. If God gives
you peace? It is equally wonderful. Matthew 28:18 says:
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All
power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.”
All authority comes under His divine majesty, what about
His grace? It is also full of wonders. The riches of His grace
goes beyond what we are currently enjoying in this world
(Ephesians 2:7). His grace is inexhaustible to the fellow who
knows how to relate with Him, which is why He has a throne
of grace that we can boldly approach to receive mercy
(Hebrews 4:16). Grace made God’s provision available to us
at the expenses of Christ sacrificing His life on the cross of
Cavalry. In addition, His joy is wonderful, and so is His
strength. If you have Jesus Christ in you and you give Him
the freedom to do whatever He likes in your life (i.e. you
regard Him as Lord and not as a guest), His wonders will be
replete in every area of your life. Do you allow Him to do
His wonderful works in your life?
PRAYER POINT
Father, come and perform Your wonders in every area
of my life.
