Paul, an apostle (special messenger) of

Christ ( the Messiah) Jesus, by the divine

will ( the purpose and the choice of God)

to the saints ( the consecrated, set-apart

ones) at Ephesus who are also faithful and

loyal and steadfast in Christ Jesus:

May grace ( God’s unmerited favor) and

spiritual peace ( peace with God and harmony,

unity, undisturbedness) be yours from God

our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

May blessing be to the God and Father of

our Lord Jesus Christ Who has blessed us

in Christ with every spiritual blessing in

the heavenly realm.

( Ephesians 1.1-3).

Meditation points:

1) Your calling is by God’s divine will.

2) Your election by God signifies His

will to consecrate you and set apart

for His holy plan.

3) This means that God’s grace, His

favor rests on you and nothing can

separate you from His acceptance and

lavish love, nothing can disturb your peace

in Him.

4) God’s blessings on you are blessings intrinsic

to being in Jesus Christ with every blessing

bestowed by the Holy Spirit granted in the

heavenly realm, the eternal kingdom of God.

Do not fret or have any anxiety

about anything, but in every

circumstance and in everything,

by prayer and petition, with

thanksgiving, continue to make

your wants known to God.

And God’s peace which transcends

all understanding shall garrison

and guard over your hearts and

minds in Christ Jesus.

( Philippians 4. 6 and 7).

MEDITATION POINTS

Meditate on these facts:

1) Make your request known to God

in every circumstance and in everything

by prayer and with thanksgiving.

2) Do not fret or have anxiety, but

when you make your petitions to God

thank Him in advance.

3) God’s peace passes understanding and

guards and watches over your thoughts

and feelings.

4) Jesus Christ gives us His peace through

the Holy Spirit.

Rejoice in the Lord always.

Again I say, rejoice!

(Philippians. 4.4).

Rejoice! Be filled with the

joy of the Holy Spirit.

my desire, I agree with

the Law that it is good.

However, it is no longer

I who do it, but sin

that dwells in me.

For I know that nothing

good dwells in me.

I can will what is right,

but have no power to

carry it out.

For I fail to do the good

that I desire to do.

On the other hand,

I wind up doing what

I do not want to do.

Now if I do what I do not

desire to do, it is no longer

I who do it, but sin that dwells

in me.

Consider this:

1) The inertia that is caused

by human nature.

2) Human nature likes to

take the path of least resistance.

3) Human nature causes failure.

We need God’s Holy Spirit to do right.

for I am speaking to those who are

acquainted with the Law, that the legal claims

have power over a person only for as

long as he or she is alive?

For instance, a married woman is bound

by law to her husband as long as he lives,

but if her husband dies, she is discharged

from the law concerning her husband.

Accordingly, if while her husband lives,

she marries another man, she will be

called an adulteress, but if her husband

dies, she is free from that law, so that

if she marries another man she is not an

adulteress.

Likewise my brothers and sisters you

have undergone death as to the Law

through the crucified body of Christ,

so that you may now belong to Another,

to Him Who was raised from the dead

in order that we may bear fruit to God.

( Romans 7.1-4).

Consider this and meditate:

1) The Law stipulated the codes

of behavior that is accepted by God.

2) We are alive in a new way which

brings about true righteousness,

spiritual life and eternal union with

God through our Lord  and Savior Jesus

Christ who rose from the dead and brought

about our justification and sanctification.

Even so consider yourselves also

dead to sin and your relation to it

broken, but alive to God, living in

unbroken fellowship with Him, in

Christ Jesus.

Therefore do not let sin rule in you

mortal body, that you should obey it

in its lusts.

And do not present your members

as instruments of unrighteousness

to sin, but present yourselves to God

as being alive from the dead, and your

members as instruments of righteousness

to God.

For sin shall not have dominion over you,

for you are not under law but under grace.

What then, shall we sin because we are not

under law but under grace? Certainly not!

Do you not know that to whom you present

yourselves as servants to obey, you are that one’s

servants whom you obey, whether of sin leading

to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

But thank God that though you were servants of sin,

yet you obeyed from the heart that form of  teaching

to which you were delivered.

And having been set free from sin, you have become

servants of righteousness.

( Romans 6.11-18).

Consider the following:

1) The meaning of freedom

2) Thought, purpose and action

patterns that lead to true freedom

Meditate and pray about these.

The Holy Spirit guides God’s children

into all truth and obedience to His will.

TRUE FREEDOM IS DOING THE THINGS
WHICH BRING ETERNAL DIVIDENDS
