Around you, there may be new believers; those who are discouraged; and those who've failed. You must help these people hold onto the covenant and change three aspects. First, it's their status. It's stated that you were chosen in Christ before the creation of the world. (Ephesians 4~5) Joseph discovered his status within his family's difficulties, Moses discovered his on Mt. Horeb, and Samuel and David discovered that they were God's children at an early age. Second, as the status changes, the appropriate authority follows. (Ephesians 1:~2) Third, God has chosen you to give all the spiritual blessings in Heaven (Ephesians 1:3) which include "the praise of his glorious grace," (Ephesians 1:6~8) the things of Heaven and earth that'll become your inheritance, (Ephesians 1:10-11) and "to the praise of His glory." (Ephesians 1:12) Why did God give you these blessings?
1. Which He Purposed in Christ (Ephesians 1:9~10)
The powerful nations seized by Satan were mired in wars and hardships. Underdeveloped countries seized by those powerful countries were scattered as slaves throughout the entire country. At that time, the Israelites were was scattered and served as slaves; held as captives; were colonized; and became a wandering people. Simply put, it means to restore the power that'll resolve this fundamental problem now.
2. To Resolve Something More Urgent
The book of Ephesians was a letter written by Paul from a prison in Rome Acts 27:24 to Ephesus that was in darkness. This period was the time before the collapse of the Jerusalem Temple, the destruction of Israel, and prior to the time when the posterity was taken away as a wandering people. At that time, the Word was given. For Paul, he held onto this Word and conquered Rome. Just as Paul rescued Ephesus from darkness, God has chosen you to break the fundamental power of Satan.
3. To Restore This Gospel
The Gospel completely disappeared from Israel. Disasters and spiritual problems came to the world and the posterity, but religious leaders didn't even know the reason why they occurred. During the age of Rome, the Gospel entirely vanished, and it'll be the same during the end times. That's why the Gospel was given to resolve these issues.
New believers, those who are discouraged, and those who've made mistakes can firmly hold onto this covenant and start anew. As long as they hold onto the covenant, the Triune God will transcend time and space and work through "The Throne's Power."
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may today be the day when I hold onto the important covenant. Help me become a believer who saves myself and others. Today, may I save myself; my company; my family line; my country; and dying religions and churches. Today, may these blessings be relayed to Your people who are worshiping together throughout the nation and the world. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
