and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, and

you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord

and Savior Jesus Christ.

(II. Peter 1.10 &11).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

that belongs to the calling you received-

There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

One God and Father of us all, Who is above all (Sovereign over all),

pervading all and living in us all.

Yet grace was given to each of us individually in proportion to the

measures of Christ’s rich and bounteous gift.

(Ephesians 4.4-7).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

An amazing surprise, a wave of excitement and delight fill our hearts

as we find in God’s word that we are elected and called to be in His

Kingdom. We find out how good and how kind He is this King of kings and

Lord of lords Who adds us to His people, the Church His community of the

King of Israel. We find a line stretching all the way back to Abel, Seth,

Noah and Abraham. We find we are heirs with Jesus Christ Who Is the

Creator, Savior and Ruler of all. We find it amazing that we are indeed

included!

We find out that we can share this experience with others near and far,

past, present and future.

“The seventy returned with joy,saying, ‘Lord, in your name even the

demons submit to us !’ he said to them, ‘I watched Satan fall from heaven

like a flash of lightning. See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes

and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will hurt

you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits submit to you,

but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.’”

(Luke 10: 17-20).

HALLELUJAH! WE PRAISE YOU AND THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVER!

There is one body and one Spirit

just as there is also one hope that

belongs to the calling you received.

(Ephesians 4.4).

POINTS FOR MEDITATION

1) There is no other future

destiny to hope outside

of Jesus.

2) His purpose stands. We stand

with Him.

3) Our future is secure in His eternity.

4) There is one body of Christ.

He is the head of the body.

The Holy Spirit unites us

with His unique power.

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU
LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord,

appeal  to and beg you to walk worthy

of the divine calling to which you have

been called (with behavior that is a

credit to the summons to God’s service.

(Ephesians 4.1).

POINTS FOR PRAISE

AND MEDITATION

1) St. Paul considers himself the prisoner

of the Lord. This is not to indicate lack

of freedom. On the contrary our freedom

is God’s freedom. We enter into God’s

freedom. Where the Spirit of the Lord is

there is freedom.

2)This in essence is the summons to

joy and freedom.

3)St. Paul is set in His course for His life

thoroughly committed to God’s way.

4) God’s way of life is His lifestyle, to

live a life worthy of the divine calling to

which we have been called, to His glory,

not seeking our own, but seeking His way

of life.

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS!
