More of His Wonders 2

in #sc-n5 years ago

Alright the other time, i shared a little about the ACCEPTABLE realm and a friend of mine during our private studies termed it the ACTIVE POINT..

She called it that point where we can have access into the blessings of the father through Christ..

Buy today let's see what wonders verse 4 and 5 has for us..

Eph.1.4 - According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love
Eph.1.5 - His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. And this gave him great pleasure...(NLT)

His love for us who have come to him through Christ began even before the beginning of the world with the aim of we being holy and without blame or being accused before him with love.

.. But coman see the best part in VS5..

The plan did not and has not changed.. His UNCHANGING plan.. His plan to have us all to himself, his plan to love us and even to see us as his holy people.. Has NOT CHANGED..

To me its like a dash (GIFT) and all we need to do is just to WORK IN or ACCEPT IT

This takes me back to when my late mum told me "idong, i'll make sure you attain any height of education in this world, as far as you're willing to"..by that statement, she was ready or maybe had opened an account, but all i needed to do was to be WILLING ..

And the sweet thing with this plan is that, in verse 5,it was not because of us, but for his PLEASURE.. This God sha knows how to enjoyoo0.. He knows how to take pride in his dealings..

He's like, "not for you but for my pleasure". Now, this marked the difference with my mum, though she would say, "idong, you're not going to school for me"🙄🙄,when actually, the praise would've gone back to her.. Mumsy 🙄🙄..But this one, God is telling us, that he finds joy when he sees you and i in his family through Christ..

However, this plan has not changed and won't change and it is that we be part of his family through Christ so as to enjoy his blessings all for his pleasures..

Hence, all you need do is to identify with Christ and be part of this family through him..

Thank you Holy Spirit..
Shalom!
