Could You Use a Little Extra Strength To Make it Through Your Day?

Another Gem from Rick Renners Sparkling Gem…  

For I know that this shall turn on my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.  Philippians 1:19

The word supply is taken from the Greek word epichoregeo.  This word means on behalf of the choir. Thousands of years ago in classical Greece,  a huge choral and dramatic company practiced endlessly for a huge, important theatrical performance. After they put in a great amount of time, effort, energy and practice, it was finally time for the show to go on the road.  But there was one major problem – they ran out of money!

These people had given their lives to this production.  But now it was all over. 

At that exact moment, a wealthy man heard of the crisis, stepped into the middle of their situation, and make a huge financial contribution on behalf of the choir.  The contribution “supplied” all they needed to get back in business again!  In fact, the fight the man gave was so enormous that it was more than they needed or knew how to spend! This mans contribution was excessively large, abundant, overflowing and overwhelming.

This is where we get the word “supply” in Philippians 1:19 that now describes the enormous contribution of the Spirit that Jesus Christ wants to give to you and me!

So in light of this, it could be read as:

“I am certain that this situation will ultimately turn around and result in my deliverance. I’m sure of it – first, because you are praying for me; and second, because of the special contribution of the Spirit of Jesus Christ is donating to my present cause”

Like the wealthy man in the story above, Jesus steps into your life at that moment to donate a massive, overwhelming, generous contribution of the Spirit’s grace and power for your cause!

God bless,

Chris Bradley
