God’s Dream For You
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge,
that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God (Ephesians 3:19).
In our study today, we’ll examine two vital
thoughts, relating to God’s dream for you. First
is that as a Christian, you must realize that you’re vitally
the house, the living tabernacle of the almighty God.
You’re full of God as Jesus was when He walked the
earth. God isn’t any less in you today than He was in
Jesus Christ. This isn’t something you’ll have to grow
into as time goes by, no; it’s a reality you have to wake
up to. You’re the temple of the living God.
1 Corinthians 3:16 says, “Know ye not that ye
are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God
dwelleth in you?” What God wants is that you become
God-inside-minded. He’s filled you with Himself.
This became possible with the death, burial, and
resurrection of Jesus Christ. His resurrection made it
possible for us to have and live the God-life.
Secondly, God wants you to know and walk in
the full and exact knowledge of His will. He doesn’t
want you to ever be in confusion about His will over
anything at any time. Jesus was never in doubt of the
Father’s will; so, why should you be? When you’re
filled with the knowledge (“epignosis”?Greek) of His
will, you’ll be able to apply the wisdom of God in fulfilling it.
No wonder the Spirit prayed through the apostle
Paul in Colossians 1:9 that this becomes a reality for the
Church: “…that ye might be filled with the knowledge
of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.”
He wants this to happen here on earth, not when you
get to heaven. It’s His dream for you now. This is one
reason attending Church services is very important for
you as a Christian.
In the Church, you’re taught the Word of God to
build you up spiritually, and to build your faith strong.
The Word of God is the will and wisdom of God. To
be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom,
is to be filled with His Word; and when that happens,
Colossians 1:10 says you’ll be fruitful in every good work. What a life!
Prayer
I thank you, blessed Father, for your mighty hand that’s upon
me to walk in your perfect will all the time. I live to fulfil your
dream and purpose for my life, to the glory and praise of your
Name. Your Word prospers in me today, and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
