  Hi, Dear Child of The Mighty God of The Universe. Welcome to The Stable Sanctuary for Spiritual nourishment and Divine upkeep. The Holy Bible Scripture outlined above is based on Paul’s writing to the church of Ephesians in the year A.D 64. Yea, The word of God is alive forever more . The will of God is the Foundation of Our High calling; upon our acceptance of Christ Jesus. Indeed Grace and peace be upon us as stated in verse two.

Here, we receive a High privilege of untold proportions because Jesus Christ works with God our father in heaven to make our life better in Him. It calls upon us to be of much gratitude to God as we transfix our eyes upon the cross which becomes the object of our faith in Christ Jesus. Hence you and I have unlimited access to The Grace of God; underserved as it is; yet transforming our lives once and for always.

SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS

A glimpse at verse three inspires us to ever bless the Lord our God; for what He has accomplished for us through Christ. Life is Spiritual. It starts in the spirit. What you and I shall become is already evident in the spirit world. The benefits of atonement, the Divine blessing as well as the eventual good life outcomes are all known to the Spirit of the Living God. ” And all these blessings shall come on you, and overtake you, if you shall hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God”[ Deuteronomy 28:2] Stay obedient to God; the blessing shall be so abundant; chasing to locate you; dear child of God.

This indicates to us that when we are grounded in Christ Jesus, we shall have access to multiple blessings that shall run across many generations. Christ , The Word of God, created all things and all things belong to Him.Check verse 4 which presents the very purpose of the chosen;  His redeeming Grace.

PREDESTINED ADOPTION

Now, let us check verse 5. We are  become children of God before the universe was made. That by means of the work of the cross , we are graciously brought into the family of God through Faith in Christ; based on the unconditional love of God Himself.

Verses six and seven brings us to the climax of God’s redemptive purpose which is the forgiveness of our sins ; past, present and future because His grace is richly abundant. Here  is an indication that everything else is ours for the taking if we value what Christ has done. Hence we need to live righteous lives daily. You and I belong to God. We carry His image everywhere.

WISDOM AND PRUDENCE

Politely,  let us look at verse 8. The Grace of God has been manifested superabundantly to us all. We have received insight and ability to face Life’s situations and circumstances most effectively. Each moment of time we are shining stars; a good example to many people around us. Going to verse nine, God’s secret purposes and counsels are availed to us as we extend the same to other people.

Verse 10 and 11 portray God’s wonderful plan to gather all things together in one: Christ Jesus; inorder to restore His Divine purpose at the time of creation. God’s original purpose and plan shall be fully restored because He works all things after The Counsel of His own will. It is perfect. It is imperative to put our trust fully in Christ Jesus.

CONCLUSION

Access to The Grace of God makes us to receive a priviledge of untold proportions in Christ. One’s life develops highly desirable outcomes when one develops gratitude for receiving the grace of God. Jesus Christ is God’s great Grace to us. Multiple blessings are received when we are rooted and grounded in the faith of Jesus Christ.

He alone is The Engineer behind every good success. We were predestinated for God’s larger family with Jesus Christ as the first born. What a wonderful priviledge? Wisdom and prudence from the throne of God enables us to live well organised lives that ultimately bring glory to God. The will of God is supreme. It is perfect.settled in Heaven.[Matthew 24:35]
