Centered upon Christ
Reading: Ephesians 1:9-10
“The mystery of His
will.”
Prayer
O
my beloved God, I shall centre my whole life upon Jesus Christ. Thank You for
Your secret plan. I hold it close to my heart. You designed Your plan for me
long ago in accordance to Your good pleasure. This is just one more reason why
I should praise and worship the Lord my God. Furthermore, because of Christ, we
have received an inheritance from God. He chose us from the beginning, and all
things happened just as He decided long ago. Your purpose was I was the first
person within my family to trust in Christ and that I should praise our
glorious God. I believe in Christ; He identified me as His own by giving me the
Holy Spirit of God to live inside of me. The Spirit of God is God’s guarantee
to me. He gives me everything He has promised me as He purchased me to be His
own in Jesus Christ. Amen.
Lessons To Be Learnt
Our lives should be centered upon our Lord Jesus Christ. He teaches us at our conversion, step by step, how to draw closer to Him. We learn great and wonderful lessons through
reading His Word and praying to God. God designs our lives, right from the very
beginning as He did with Jesus. We were with Him in the very beginning even
before we came and were born to the earth. This revelation helps us in our walk
with God. He is the One who makes known the mystery of His will according to
His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ. God was not intentionally
keeping His plan secret (“the mystery of His will”), but His plan for the world
could not be fully understood until Christ rose from the dead. His purpose for
sending Jesus was to unite us together in one body with Christ as the head.
Many people still do not understand God’s plan but when the time is right
(“when the times will have reached their fulfillment”), He will us together to
be with Him forever.
