The Christian is Greater than the Energizer Bunny!

Gen 49:3 Reuben, my firstborn, you are my vigor, and the beginning of my virility, with a surplus for bearing and a surplus of strength.

Please observe the word surplus. Google uses some of the following synonyms.

Redundant, superfluous, spare, excessive, excess, overplus, overage, superfluity, redundancy, remainder, overbalance, overflow, residue, balance.

Now look at Ephesians one, verse eighteen.

Eph 1:18 the eyes of your heart having been enlightened, for you to perceive what is the expectation of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of the enjoyment of His allotment among the saints,

Eph 1:19 and what the transcendent greatness   (redundant, superfluous, spare, excessive, excess, overplus, overage, superfluity, redundancy, remainder, redundancy ,overbalance, overflow, residue, balance)  of His power for us  (funneled into us) who are believing, in accord with the operation of the might of His strength,

Eph 1:20 which is operative  (He charged Christ with the charge described in the above verse; as a battery that is charged)   in the Christ, rousing Him from among the dead and seating Him at His right hand among the celestials,  (You have that battery called Christ Jesus, fully charged inside of you).

My friends, if we have Christ Jesus in us, we have excessive, surplus, redundant overwhelming power in us.  Christ was charged with this power, as a battery has a static electrical charge, when the Father raised Him from the dead, and caused Him to sit and reign over the whole universe.  We are electrically charged with that charge!

Christ owns an excessive, exceeding surplus of transcendental treasure, wealth and fortune, in Him, to go along with His power.

We must pray, study the Bible, and cry out for revelation, until our identity becomes one of this charged battery.  The Christian must walk in the image of excess, abundance, surplus and redundant ability for every circumstance. Not a carnal and selfish excess, but the excess and surplus that is in the Person of Christ.

We Christians sadly live, as that philosopher of old Gino Vannelli said, “Paupers in Paradise”!  Change us Lord!

Glory!
