“God’s Faithful Blessings 3 Ephesians 1:9-14 God’s will Revealed God’s Inheritance granted God’s Holy Spirit given God’s will Revealed Ephes. 1:9-10 (NIV) And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, [10] to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment--to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ. God has blessed us by making known to us the mystery “hidden to the rest of the world” of His will. The word translated mystery “musterion”, Gk., would in this case be better translated secret. God makes His “secrets” known to the people who have a relationship with Him. When God bolts the door, dont try to get in through the window. The will of God never will lead you where the grace of God cannot keep you. Source Unknown. Many choose daily to do as they will, then blame God for the mess they get themselves into, instead of realizing God desires to give them the blessing of knowing and doing His will. Are you seeking God’s eternal purposes through Christ in your daily life? God makes known to us His secrets so that we can get “God’s house” in order. The word translated is “Oikonomia”, Gk., and means dispensation, but is a household term, i.e. getting ones house in order. This is where having a “Godly or Biblical World View” is all important.

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father (Galatians 4:4-6). God has appointed Jesus Christ as Head over the new creation and new order. Jesus is Head over the church “And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church “ekklesia”, which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all” (Ephes. 1:22-23). Head over the new creation He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created. James 1:18 (NIV) The “ekklesia” is to be God’s instrument of “reconciliation and peace” for a world separated from God. that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting mens sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. [20] We are therefore Christs ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christs behalf: Be reconciled to God. 2 Cor. 5:19-20 (NIV) Let’s not neglect this great blessing of God…
