OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON MAY 31, 2015 IS EPHESIANS 1:1-23: THE PRAISE, THANKSGIVING AND PRAYERS THAT BRINGS ALL BLESSINGS IN GODS FAMILY: 1. I want to begin this message with a word of praise to God for his loving kindness upon all creatures and above all for being a part of Gods family. Paul the Apostle of God understands the importance of praise to God and charged all saints to live a life of Praise to God Almighty through his son Jesus Christ who blessed us with all blessings. See verses 1-3 2. It is important for every Child of God to know that God chose you, called you, anointed you and sent you out to this planet earth to do what ever you are doing right now. Above all he adopted you as a son or daughter whichever you are through his son Jesus Christ so that you will fulfill your purpose in life because of his plan for your life as a member of Gods family. He sacrificed Jesus for us so that we will praise and glorify him in all areas of life as being part of Gods family through redemption in Christ for our salvation. See verses 4-7 3. It is a thing of Joy to give thanks to God for sending Jesus to release into our lives all spiritual, physical and financial blessings as follows: a.) He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding b.) He] made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. c.) In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will d.) in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. e.) And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit f.) The Holy Spirit who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession— to the praise of his glory. See verses 8-14 4. I want to use this medium today to challenge all Christians to start thanking God now if you have not been doing so before, and also if you have not been praying, begin to pray now because God has done so much for us through Jesus and you cannot afford to miss this blessings that are exclusively for those that are for Gods family, which means that you have to begin to praise God for being in Gods family and back it up with thanksgiving and prayers always. Remember to whom much is giving much is expected. I know that I can count on you receiving this word this day. See Verses 15-17 5. My prayer for you that are blessed to be in Gods family is to receive the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength. See verses 18-20 6. Finally I want you to know that when Christ sent Jesus to this planet earth to die, he gave the best he has for those of us for those of us that are “Part of the family of God”, and hereby are what Jesus earned for us through Salvation which we have on a platter of gold: a.) We are far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. b.) And God placed all things under his “JESUS” feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which are you and I that are in the body of Christ. c.) Take note here that Jesus body is the fullness of him who fills everything in every way for us “THE CHURCH”. See verses 21-23. 7. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power to praise God for all blessings in Gods family in Jesus name Amen. Read below: Ephesians 1:1-23 New International Version (NIV) 1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To God’s holy people in Ephesus,[a] the faithful in Christ Jesus: 2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise for Spiritual Blessings in Christ 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he[b]predestined us for adoption to son ship[c] through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he[d] 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 reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. 11 In him we were also chosen,[e] having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who a deposit is guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession— to the praise of his glory. Thanksgiving and Prayer 15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, 16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[f] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
