Intro
This week the Lord gave me a dream.
I very powerful dream.
A dream i tested according to the Word.
The details of the dream are not relevant, suffice to say that the Lord gave me a vision for UFGC.
This vision, purpse and goal is found in the book of Ephesians.
Today, all i wish to comminicate this vision - to show you the spiritual direction we as a church are heading.
At th beggining of the year we were promised a latter rain blessing - i believe that this blessing has now been made manifest to us as a church.
Let us read God’s vision for UFGC together and then il will unpack it.
This 6 verse are some of the most powerful i have ever read.
They are filled with promises, blessings, callings, purpose and glory.
There are well over a dozen key words, key phrases and key truths that we will develop over the next few weeks.
All of you have been given this paper.
You will commit these 6 verses to memory.
At any moment you will be able to both write it down and repeat it by memory.
You will know each of the ky words and key phrases.
Lets unpack the major themes:
1: The Christian and the church must be in a state of constnt submission and dependance on God.
The bowing of the knees is not specifically refreance to prayer although that is inclused.
It is a referance of submission.
Listen cearfully: Submission now is salvation - submission in the end is condemnation.
2: The Church is portrayed as a family.
From its creation, God has ordained family laungage and relationship in the church.
We are called brothers and sisters in relation to each other.
over 230 times in the NT are we called a family.
Ad a family we will learn:
1: To be in unity.
2: In respect of each persons calling, gifting and position.
3: That God would grant, according to His riches, that we are strengthened each day with the power of the Holy Spirit in our inner man.
Here is what God is goimng to for each of us:
1: We are going to recieve a daily supply of strength and power.
That word “might” is the greek word dunamis - its where we get out word dynamite.
Thi strength, this might, this power will be given to the innerman.
So much so, that even as our out-man perishes, our inner man will go from strength to strength.
4: That Christ will dwell in our hearts by faith.
This not speaking of the presence of the Holy Spirit -that we recieved when we were saved.
The key word here is “dwell”.
We will see that Christ dwells only with a certan type of christian, that this dwelling results in unbelevible blessings.
5: That each of us is both rooted and grounded in trhe love of God.
The word “rooted” is an agricultral word - it speaks of being in good soil where the person can draw what they need.
The word “grounded” is an arcitectual word - it speaks of good foundations that allow a person to go through storms and trials without fainting or falling over.
Jesus showed this in his parable:
6: That each and every Christian can both understand and recieve by faith the fulness of their inheritance in Christ.
Our inheritance is powerful and unfading.
An inheritence is only given when someone dies.
Then the executor makes sure it is given.
Jesus died so that we can have our inheritence, then he rose from the dead and became the executor of his own will towrds us.
God wants each of us to enjoy this inheritence to its full.
7: That we will know the full love of Christ.
We are so rich in Christ that even if all the worl super computers where to try and calculate it, they would never be done.
The christian des not have to worry for a single second about having inadiqute resourses for spiritual victory.
When you know the fulness of Christ love you will know the fulness of his riches.
8: That each of us will be filled with the fulness of God.
This promise is extrenly powerful.
It does not mean that we become like God or anything of that nature.
rather this promise is that each of us will experince the fulness of the New Covenant and enjoy the fulness of our identity in Christ Jesus.
Literaly it is:
This means that:
1: We must know all the promises.
2: We must enjoy all the promises.
Conclusion:
These 8 incredible promises are going to take us down a journey of spititual discovery.
I believe that we are going to reach new hightes in our service to God and new debths in our closnes to God.
We are going to recieve by faith spiritual strength in our inner man to such a degree that indeed the gates of Hell shll not prevail and no wepon shall prosper.
We are going to walk so close with Christ that:
Leaders of UFGC, you need this vision document.
You need to meditate on it, pray over it, come under it and put your faith in God for it to come to pass.
Members of UFGC, you need to commit this promise to memory.
Parey over it and believe God for it.
