Christ Wants You To Know Him Personally And Not Through A Proxy--Part Two

The basis of God's creation is God's will and plan (Eph.1:10; Rev.4:11 and will pass a comment on these vs. later on).Study of the verses tells us that God's creation was the Son of God.(Col.1:15; Heb.1:2b;) and the word of God ( Heb.11:3; John 1:1-3;both of whom are Christ (John 1:1,18;Rev.19:13).To be continued.Eph.1:10 comments: We realize here that it is solely God's plan and will and not that of man.Or, plan.

Vs.10 Plan. The Greek word, oikonomia, means house law, household management or administration, and derivately, administrative dispensation, plan, economy (1 Tim.1)The economy that God, according to His desire, planned and purposed in Himself is to head up all things in Christ at the fullness of the times.

This is accomplished through the dispensing of the abundant life supply of the Triune/Trinity-God as the life factor into all the members of the Church that they may rise up from the death situation and be attached to the Body. In order words, God Himself through His Spirit is the life supply to the believers.

If so how could man teach another man to have the Spirit of God entering into another man? It is impossible we are required only to be planters, tillers, etc etc and the germination of the seeds in the soil and growths is solely God's responsibility.

Let us also examine v.11 of Rev. 4. read this verse prayerfully beloved.

Nothing in this verse shares any glory with the man in His planned purpose of creation by God since he consulted Himself and Himself only. V.9 indicate the praises of both the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders in verse 11 the topic of our discussion indicates as follows

Are composed of three items, implying that both the living creatures and the elders are praising the Trinity/Triune- God. the first two items, Glory, and Honour are the same in both places, but the last item is different:

In the praises of the four living creatures, the last item is thanks-- that is they grateful to God for their redemption and God's grace; whereas in the praises of the twenty-four elders the last item is power-- as rulers of the universe ( they are not redeemed creatures), they appreciate the power of God, by which they rule.

This means whoever, and whatever position you serve in the current "Acts" of our ministry accounts we ought to have this understanding.

We will, therefore, continue with verse 11 of Rev. 4 when we come up with the sharing of this important topic next time. Do not lack the full knowledge of Jesus Christ especially in the Spirit and pretend you can offer anything meaningful or make an impact on others.The empty vessel can only offer emptiness to their congregation sadly.
