The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Love of God and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all
Ephesians 1:17-20
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your [a]understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,
Ephesians 3:14-20
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father [a]of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
In both scriptures the emphasis of Paul is to know something through revelation.
He wants us to know God through a certain kind of knowledge –
- The Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation to Know Him
- The Eyes of your understanding be enlightened
- To know what is the hope of his calling
Every child of God must desire to walk in this prayer and that this prayer to be fulfilled in you.
WHAT GOD IS DOING IN THIS SEASON: The Test of Characters and Release of Scrolls
Colossian 1:12
I recently had a vision and I was sharing from Colossians 1 where it talk about that Christ has been made the head of the body that in all things he may have the pre-eminence
WE MUST BECOME AWARE OF WHATS HAPPENING IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT
The realm of spirit operate with divine consciousness. For example the presence of the Lord works with consciousness, awareness. The import of your prayers, studies and all spiritual engagement must be from the realm of consciousness in order to see the import of the realities God intends to bring about.
Each member of the body of Christ has a responsibility and the responsibility is to showcase God.
As children of God one of our biggest responsibility to Display God
And Just in case we don’t know that, he translated us out of darkness into his marvellous light that we may show forth the praises of Him who has called us out of darkness into his marvellous light
The Word to Shew – Means to Put on Display (divulge, tell out, and publish).
And the way we are going to do:
How to Put on Display – When the Perishable has been clothed with the imperishable
When mortality has put on immortality – 1 Corinthians 15:54
And Just in case we don’t know that, he translated us out of darkness into his marvellous light that we may show forth the praises of Him who has called us out of darkness into his marvellous light.
When you received Christ, something happened, your humanity was swallowed up. Out human life was supplanted by the divine life.
Has it ever dawn on you that your humanity has been swallowed up.
The bible says through the gospel he’s brought immortality to light through the Gospel
SCRIPTURE: 2 Corinthians 13:14 –
Going through the Pauline epistle, there are many truths or realities that Paul pended down not just as a writing but that which he himself had experienced and encountered. Another example is this one that we us as a benediction.
Next time when you are saying the benediction, you understand the import (impact and the effect )
This I call it embodying the Dimensions of God
THE 3 DIMENSIONS WE ARE CALLED TO EMBODY (EVERY CHILD OF GOD) – 2 Corinthians 13:14
EMBODYING THE 3 DIMENSION OF GOD. IN GOD THERE ARE MANY DIMENTSION. FOR EXAMPLE CHRIST IS DIMENSION OF GOD, THAT REVEALS HIS MESSIAHSHIP (LORD AND SAVIOUR) DIMENSION.
The Father Dimension:
The Son Dimension:
The Spirit Dimension:
IT TAKE THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT TO REVEAL ALL OF GOD.
The Father dimension – reveals the son dimension
The Son dimension – reveals the father dimension
The Spirit – shall not speak of himself, He only speak of what what he hear. he searched the deep things of God. The spirit searches the deeper things of God ye the deep
2 Corinthinans 13:14
Paul Reveals 3 Attribute of which one belongs to each of the God head.
- THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
- THE LOVE OF GOD
- THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
This is not a salutation but an experiential dimension in God that we have been brought into and have also been called to mirror this dimension or embody this dimension in the earth.
God only dwells or tabernacles in the earth through his people – Exodus 25:8. This was so that the essence of God could be trapped in the earth.
THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST – We are called to embody and mirror this dimension in the earth. – Luke 19:13. He gave you his goods
In this Kingdom – Grace is the Capital. It’s a spiritual currency. Grace are gifts. The gifts that he gave are in the form of spiritual capital and spiritual currencies
DEFINITION OF GRACE:
- Grace is unmerited Favour – Titus 2:11
- It is the ability to transmit God – Mark 5:30,
- It is the divine will of God expressed through the earth (either through animate or inanimate object). In Animate : His Church, Children of God,
Inanimate: Handkerchief, apron, napkin
- It is a divine influence on the inside manifesting on the outside
- Grace is the ability to live in this world sinless, sin-free, unscathed or uncontaminated
- It is the Power of God unto Salvation – Galatians 1:6
THE LOVE OF THE – WHAT IS THE LOVE OF GOD – JESUS IS THE LOVE OF GOD.
God has sealed out heart with his Love making it possible to Love him and bring others, his love.
1 John 5:3 – Shows us a clear demonstration of the love of God. It is not in crying when we worship. It is in obedience to Him.
And obedience is not possible when sensitivity is lost.
Keep: Means to observe in order to do. Just like we have in Joshua 1:8
PRAYER: That the lord sensitised our heart again
Walking in obedience is the highest demonstration of the Love of God
Jesus is the Love of God – John 3:16
That means we will not know what Love is until we know Jesus. That is why when you pray to God
to help you walk in Love, He shows you more of Jesus. That is why at salvation, you fills your heart with Jesus by the
help of the Holy Spirit
THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE SPIRIT – at fellowship – you are predominantly engaging the ministry of helper. We are all suffering with insufficiencies. if you don’t know that already you’ve lost the game. How be the spirit props us up – Romans 8:26
When God was looking for a tabernacle to dwell in, he was looking for that which had been architect in the heavenly. Prayer was designed by God and instrument for fellowship
When you are in fellowship you only pray what he want you to pray verses what you wanted him to answer what you wants him to do. At fellowship , it the point, where this is born and you can say.
I seek to know nothing amongst you except Christ and him crucified
Meanwhile fellow is only born by the fellowshipper (the ministry of the Helper)
7 LEVELS OF FELLOWSHIP: Association, communion, partnership, distribution, fellowship, participation, communication. – 1 Corinthians 1:9
