"To the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord." EPHESIANS 3:10-11
You, as a believer in Christ, are part of a great plan of salvation. It is all due to the generosity and riches of Christ. God created this plan behind the scenes all through history. Now, at this time, it is brought out in the open and you are the beneficiary. It is no wonder that the powers and principalities in the heavenly places are totally astonished at what He has made known to the church. Angels longed to know God's secret. Now it is accessible to all believers. The devil trembles when the Church claims and proclaims the victory Christ achieved by His death..
Today, share with others the love story of Calvary. Tell how God so loved the world He gave His Son to die for our sins. Make it plain and bring it out in the open. God planned it in secret, but performed it for all the world to see. Now it is no secret and meant to be proclaimed everywhere by the church.
That is the intent, that this extraordinary plan of God become known and talked about. His story has become your story. This story of God's love is still a secret to many who live in darkness. Jesus paid the price on the cross, lifted up for all to see. Now, if you lift him up, confess him openly, tell the story, He will draw all kinds of people to Himself.
As Paul said, the angels are talking about it, shouldn't we be in on the conversation?
Don't be a secret disciple: The way has been opened for you to have confidence through faith in Christ. You are free to say whatever needs to be said and to go wherever you need to go. So don't let the fear of persecution frighten you or paralyze your faith to obey.
Prayer: Dear God, thank you for access to the great plan hidden in ages past. I will, by your grace, be bold and let others know I believe in You, Jesus, as my Savior
