Measuring God’s Love
“that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” (Ephesians 3:17-19 WEB)
There are different degrees of revelation about God’s love.
Most people believe that God is all-powerful and that He can do all things.
However many people feel that God is against them and out to punish them for their sins.
Some Christians believe that God has forgiven them through Jesus Christ, but that they have to deserve their blessings through their obedience by obeying the Law.
This means that they can fall in and out of God’s favor, depending on how they behave.
We need to get to that point whereby we believe that God always favors us, and that He has already blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
This is His love for us: through Jesus’ finished work at the cross, He is able to do what’s in His heart—to express His love for us righteously without any barriers in the way.
Width and length speaks of a range across different types and categories.
What is the width and length of God’s love?
Unlimited—you have been forgiven of every type of sin because Jesus took your punishment.
Height and depth speaks of the magnitude—how much or little of something.
The height and depth of God’s love is also unlimited, meaning you have been forgiven of every degree of sin, no matter how grievous or minor that sin was.
Even having this revelation, we still cannot fully comprehend His love for us because it surpasses knowledge. How perfect and amazing this love is.
Are you still exclusively calling Him God or Heavenly Father and telling yourself that you’re doing so for respect’s sake or to ‘hallow’ Him?
Actually you’re doing so because you still sense a distance from Him, like you’re just a servant with no right to approach Him at will.
“And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!” So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.” (Galatians 4:6-7 WEB)
By receiving fresh revelation of His love, we can come to a place where we’re comfortable with calling Him “Abba God” (meaning daddy God”).
The closer you see yourself to Him, the easier it is to be in faith.
We are not following a religion—we have been born again into a loving family, and we can enjoy familial relationship with Abba God.
Meditate on the width, length, height and depth of His love for you, and see that you’ve been totally forgiven and you’re now totally righteous in Christ.
Abba God is not holding back any love or blessings from you.
You just need to believe and speak it forth—boldly receive as much as satisfies you!

on top of my head meaning 在 Milton Goh Blog and Sermon Notes Facebook 的最佳解答
“From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.” (John 1:16 WEB)
“For out of His fullness (abundance) we have all received [all had a share and we were all supplied with] one grace after another and spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing and even favor upon favor and gift [heaped] upon gift.” (John 1:16 AMPC)
I like how the Amplified version brings out the rich meaning of this verse.
Constantly refocus back to “receiving mode” and see yourself being actively supplied with grace, blessings, favor and gifts heaped upon each other.
The key to receiving all these is to see the source: out of whose fullness? Jesus.
When we keep seeing ourselves as being abandoned by God, left high and dry, having to fend for ourselves, we have no faith to receive anything from God.
Verses like these shift our perspective, helping us to see that God is always supplying us with good things through Jesus because He loves us.
If you feel like you’ve run out of grace from Jesus, look out—another fresh supply of grace is coming your way! You only need to believe and confess it—that’s faith!
Your faith confession:
Thank You Jesus for your never-ending supply of grace, favor, gifts and blessings for me. I receive them now by faith through Your finished work at the cross. Amen!

The God of Unlimited Abundance
“and they all ate and were satisfied. They picked up twelve full baskets of the leftover broken pieces.” (Matthew 14:20 AMP)
When I read my Bible, I see a generous God who doesn’t set any limits to His blessings.
When Jesus worked the miracle of multiplying the loaves and fishes, the multitudes ate until THEY were satisfied.
In other words, we set the limits in our minds.
Another example:
“I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”” (Psalms 91:16 WEB)
Who is the one who is satisfied? It is God satisfying us! Meaning we decide what we deem as long life.
“who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” (Psalms 103:5 WEB)
Again, God satisfies our desire with good things.
Some of us are so lazy with our faith that we can’t be bothered to exercise it to believe and ask for more.
Always be in a posture of receiving more supply from God. There is an unbreakable connection between you and Heaven. Keep seeing fresh grace for everything being delivered to you.
At times, religious thoughts hold us back from believing for more. For example, “I shouldn’t be so greedy. I should be content with my lot in life. If God wants to give me more, He will.”
This is a lie! Jesus’ finished work at the cross already overpaid for you so that God has approved you to receive every spiritual blessing!
If you receive anything less than EVERY, then you’re wasting the potential of what Jesus did for you at the cross.
Yes it’s good to be content in every situation, but God wants to give you everything that Jesus died for you to have!
It won’t happen if you have a maybe yes maybe no attitude—that’s unbelief.
Also, if you are really so enthusiastic about winning souls and sharing the Gospel, then you need both provision and health to do that.
It takes money to print books and Gospel tracts, to rent event venues for preaching, and to help the poor, widows and orphans.
You also can’t do all these personally if you’re always sick and weak.
Don’t keep thinking about your provision and health already being enough for you. You need to receive MUCH MORE so that you can be an even greater blessing to others.
“Then he said, “Go, borrow empty containers from of all your neighbors. Don’t borrow just a few containers.” (2 Kings 4:3 WEB)
Look, God doesn’t want you to just have a few containers. Enlarge your capacity to receive more oil of God’s blessings. See God as generous and holding nothing back from you!
“He said, “Take the arrows”; and he took them. He said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground”; and he struck three times, and stopped. The man of God was angry with him, and said, “You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Syria until you had consumed it; whereas now you will strike Syria just three times.”” (2 Kings 13:18-19 WEB)
God doesn’t want you to just co-exist with your spiritual enemies and always struggle in a stalemate with them. He wants to give you overwhelming victory over them!
So many of us just strike three times instead of receiving more and believing for more. When we pray, we aren’t persistent, and we’re not bold in asking for more.
“But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”” (Matthew 13:23 NKJV)
If you settle for the thirtyfold manifestation of God’s blessings and stop asking for more, then you’ll never experience the hundredfold.
I sense that God want us to smash those self-imposed limits in our mind and see that He is the God of unlimited abundance.
Life and life more abundantly is our portion.
Meditate on the pieces of Scripture that I’ve shared and see how God’s blessings are not dependent on Him being satisfied, but us being satisfied.
We choose how much is enough. If we really want to make great impact for God’s glory, then we need to have faith for more. For the sake of others, we really need to prosper in all things and be healthy, even as our souls prosper!
In my new book “Messiah’s Miracles—The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ”, I expound on all 37 recorded miracles done by Jesus in the four gospels.
I believe that as you see Jesus working miracles, unveiling God’s heart of love, goodness and mercy towards man, you will also receive faith to see more miracles in every area of your life!
Your capacity to receive will be increased as you grow in your revelation of Jesus!

I'm not sure about the actual meaning of this song, but in my head, it tells me about how people take things for granted and keep complaining even when they are actually having a good life. While there are others out there who are struggling for a loaf of bread and fighting for their lives.
It also tells me how people let anger takes control of their emotions even when it's actually just a normal situation.
