He is greater than I

Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (I John 4:4). Greater is He, the one who chose your body to be a holy temple for His dwelling place after He saved you, sanctified you. Now He dwells within, He who is greater than anything else on Earth or in Heaven. Paul said, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me (Galatians 2:20). Greater is He, greater is He!

The apostle Paul recognized that greatness within, the greatness of the Lord Jesus. Paul confessed that at one time he had been the worst of sinners, persecuting those who followed Christ. However, after he came into the greatness of salvation, he could say that Christ was alive on the inside of him. Isn’t that glorious! Greater is He!

Greater is He! The very thought of His greatness should thrill every muscle, every nerve in you. It should be your song in the night—greater is He! Greater is He! Greater is He! Your song at noonday: Greater is He! No power can defeat you when you trust in the Greater is He who liveth on the inside of you.

Greater is He will lift you up. If you’re down in the valley, what does it matter when God is right there with you? But if that valley is not the will of God, climb out of it immediately! Never stay in a valley that God hasn’t willed for you. Let the power of God, the Word of God bring you out of those valleys. Don’t think you can’t get out; don’t agree with the devil when he whispers that you will be in the valley forever. It’s time to agree with God! Greater is He!

God’s divine joy is greater than all the worldly joy that people seek here on planet Earth. I see Christians trying to generate their own joy, but why go to all that effort when the Lord gives it free of charge? Joy, in fact, is one of the fruits of the Spirit. But the fruit of the Spirit is…joy (Galatians 5:22). You can have a whole tree of joy in your innermost being, God’s pure fruit of joy. Dine on the fruit of the Lord and be happy.

Enjoy the Lord, enjoy His blessings, enjoy the plan of redemption. His plan of redemption is greater than any plan man could ever have come up with. All man’s greatest ideas and inventions amount to nothing compared to Greater is He.
