both Jew and Gentile united in a single

body by means of His cross, thereby

killing the enmity and bringing the feud

to an end.

And He came and preached the glad tidings

to you who were afar off and peace to those

who were near.

For it is through Him that we both (whether far

off or near) now have an introduction (access)

by one (Holy) Spirit to the Father ( so that we

are able to approach Him).

Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles,

migrants, and aliens, excluded from the rights

of citizens), but you now share citizenship with

the saints (God’s own people, consecrated and

set apart for Himself), and you belong to God’s

household.

(Ephesians 2.16-19).

POINTS FOR MEDITATION AND PRAISE

1) We are no longer strangers to God.

God is our Father. We are His children.

We know Him intimately through Jesus

Christ and by the Holy Spirit.

2) The Holy Spirit communicates His

deep love to us and our deepest concerns

 back to Him.

3) We are God’s household thanks to Jesus

Christ.

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS!

H

Far above all rule and authority,

power, dominion and every name

that is named, not only in this age

and this world, but also in the age

and the world which are to come.

And He has put all things under

His feet and has appointed Him the

universal and supreme Head of

the church.

Which is His body, the fullness

of Him Who fills all in all ( for

in the body lives the full measure

of Him Who makes everything

complete and Who fills everything

everywhere with Himself.

(Ephesians 1. 21-23).

POINTS FOR PRAISE

AND MEDITATION

1) Jesus is above all

authority anywhere

forever. His name is

above all names.

2) He is the head of the

church and the church

is His body.

3) His fullness is lived in

the church. His fullness

fills everything everywhere

with Jesus Himself.

AMEN! HALLELUJAH!

For our citizenship is in heaven,

from which we also eagerly await

for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

Who will transform our lowly body

that it may be conformed to His

glorious body, according to the working

by which He is able to subdue all things

to Himself.

( Philippians 3.20 and 21).

MEDITATION POINTS

Please meditate on these points:

1) Belonging to God’s Kingdom as

fellow citizens and children of God.

2) Being co-heirs with Jesus Christ.

3) Jesus Christ will transform our

bodies to be like His, full of glory

and majesty, by exerting His power

which enables Him to subdue

everything to Himself.

We were buried with Him by the baptism

into death, so that  just as Christ was raised

from the dead by the glorious power of

the Father, so we too might live and behave

in newness of life.

For if we have become one with Him by

sharing a death like His, we shall also be

one with Him in sharing His resurrection

by a new life lived for God.

We know that our old self was nailed to the cross

with Him in order that our body which is

the instrument of sin might be made

ineffective and inactive for evil, that we

no longer be slaves of sin.

For when a person dies, he or she is freed

from the power of sin.

Now if we have died with Christ, we believe

that we shall also live with Him.

( Romans 6.4-8).

Consider and pray about the following:

1) We are no longer the same person we had

been before baptism.

2) Our motivations, thoughts and actions are

now being transformed to be conformed to

the motivations, thoughts and actions of

Jesus Christ.

3) Our perspective of the world, people and

events are shaped by the Holy Spirit to be

in line with His perspective.

4) The life we live is led by the Holy Spirit.

5) We are not in charge of our life.

Jesus Christ is the Leader of our life.

6) We are no longer constrained by the

physical limits of human power and

abilities.

7) The power at work in us is the same

power which raised Jesus from the dead.

For we know that the whole creation

groans and labors

with birth pains together until now.

Not only that but we also who have

the first fruits of the Spirit

even we ourselves groan

within ourselves

eagerly

waiting for the adoption

the redemption of our body.

For we were saved in this hope

but hope that is seen is

not hope for why does one still

hope for what he sees

But if we hope for what

we do not see we eagerly wait

for it with perseverence.

Likewise the Spirit also helps in

our weaknesses.

For we do not know

what we should

pray for as we ought,

but the Spirit Himself

makes intercession

for us with groanings

which can not be uttered.

Now He who searches the hearts

 knows what the mind of

the Spirit is, because He makes

 intercession for the saints

according to the will of God.

And we know that all things work

together for good to

those who love God, to those who

are the called according

to His purpose.

(Romans 8.22-28).

2) The firstfruits of the Spirit
