will of God for the believers. The will of God

for believers. We are writing the will of God

for believers. Colossians chapter 1. The letter

Colossians 1 · chapter mention

of Paul to the church in Colossae. Colossians

Colossians 1 · chapter mention

chapter 1. From verse 1 to 15. Please be sensitive

to what God is doing. He is speaking to us. And

he is edifying us. Paul, an apostle of Jesus

Christ. By the will of God and Timothy, our brother,

to the saints and the faithful brethren in Christ

who are in Colossae. Verse 3. We give thanks

to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

praying always for you, since we heard of your

faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all

the saints. Because of the hope which is laid

up for you in heaven, of which you heard before

in the word of the truth of the gospel, which

has come to you as it has also in all the world,

and is bringing forth truth as it is also among

you since the day you heard and knew the grace

of God in truth. Verse 7. As we also learn from

Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful

minister of Christ on our behalf, who also declared

to us your love in the Spirit. Your love in the

Spirit. So for this reason, we also, since the

day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you

and to ask that you may be filled. with the knowledge

of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

that you may work worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing

to him, pleasing him rather, being fruitful in

every good work and increasing in the knowledge

of God. Strengthen with all mind according to

his glorious power for all patience and longsuffering

with joy. Giving thanks to the Father who has

qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance

of the saints in light. He has delivered us from

the power of darkness, has conveyed us into the

kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have

redemption through His blood, the forgiveness

of sins. The last verse from here, verse 15,

it says, He is the image. of the invisible God,

the firstborn of all creation. Hallelujah. The

will of God for believers. Now, thanks to not

from this passage, the Paul here is writing to

who? To a church. He says to faithful Christians,

Christians that are faithful and committed in

their work with God. Faithful Christians whom

he has received a good report of their faith

in Christ Jesus and love which they show for

themselves, for their brethren. And of course,

Paul received this good report from Epaphras,

a faithful minister of Christ. He's one of them.

He's their pastor. He's their minister. And he's

given a good report of the people of God to Paul

of their faithfulness, of their love. Of their

growth. Of their commitment to the things of

God. Of their indulgence in the spiritual things.

Verse 9 and verse 10. It's a place of our focus.

It says for this reason. Which reason? For the

good report I've had of you. For the love I've

had. That you have in the spirit. Verse 8. Who

also declared to us your love in the spirit.

For this reason. We also, since the day we had

it, we do not cease to pray for you. We do not

cease to pray for you. And what is our prayer?

Our prayer is that we ask that you, that is the

church, that is the people of God, that is the

faithful Christians, the faithful men and women

of God, that you may be filled with what? With

the knowledge. The knowledge of his will. Whose

will? The knowledge of the will of God. The knowledge

of the will of God in all wisdom, which is spiritual

understanding. This wisdom is spiritual understanding.

So the desire of Paul is that these people will

know, will have a grasp, will fully comprehend,

will have a perfect knowledge. Of what God desires.

Of what God desires. So poor prayer is that they

may be filled with what? With the knowledge.

If the Bible is yours, underline that knowledge.

That they may be filled with the knowledge. That

they may be filled with what? With knowledge.

The knowledge of what? The knowledge not of physics.

The knowledge not of chemistry or politics. or

commerce, or government, not of even history,

but a knowledge of what? Of the will of God.

So what is that knowledge? The word knowledge

in that text. The word knowledge is translated

into the English language from the Greek word

epignosis. E -P -I -G -N -O -S -I -S. Epignosis.

E... P -E -P -I -G -N -O -S -I -S. Epignosis.

And this epignosis means precise. It means a

precise and accurate knowledge. A precise and

correct knowledge of the will of God. Which means

that... There could be a knowledge of God that

is not precise. There could be the knowledge

of the will of God that is not accurate. There

could be the knowledge of the will of God that

is not correct. And you know, the funny thing

is that some people's entire Christian life is

built upon a distorted knowledge of the will

of God. Some people's entire Christianity is

built upon false doctrine, a distorted knowledge

of what God demands. A distorted knowledge of

what God has in plan for humanity. A distorted

knowledge of what God wants of us who are his

people. Now the precise knowledge of God's will

is essential to fulfilling God's will. The precise

knowledge of God's will is very vital, is important

if you and I that are believers will do what

God wants us to do because it is God's desire

that we do his will. Without knowing what is

expected of you, it is impossible to do that

which you have been instructed to do accurately.

Imagine you enter an exam hall and then the professor

gives an instruction. Some of us actually, unfortunately,

don't read exam instructions. I remember ever

entering an exam back in high school and the

teacher wrote almost 20 questions in the paper.

And they write instructions so tiny. And the

instruction is write your name and submit. Nobody

read the instruction. There was time and everything.

But there's an instruction, write your name and

submit. Just a test to see whether we listen

to instructions, we understand instructions.

And everybody was busy answering questions. Writing,

writing, and writing. Which means that everybody

failed the exams. If you don't understand instruction,

it is impossible for you to do what God demands.

If you don't understand the will of God, it is

impossible for you to do the will of God. And

if you have a distorted knowledge of the will

of God, definitely we will have a distorted result

in our lives. What is that word will in verse

9? The word will in verse 9. The word will is

also translated from another Greek word, thilema.

T -H -E -L -E -M -A. T -H -E -L -E -M -A. Which

means, what one wishes or desires. No, no. What

one wishes or has determined shall be done. What

one wishes or has determined. That shall be done.

It also means, it means the person's will, right?

It means the person's choice. The word means

the person's choice. The person's inclination,

his desire, his pleasure. What gives him pleasure?

Do you know what God wants of you as a believer?

Do you know what demands of you as a believer?

Do you know what gives God pleasure as a believer?

We can see the usage of the word will, the lima,

in other places in scriptures. Matthew 6, verse

Matthew 6:10

10, quickly. Matthew 6, verse 10, where we usually

Matthew 6:10

refer to as the Lord's Prayer. It says, your

kingdom, what? Your kingdom come. Your will,

what? Be done on earth as it is in heaven. What

is done in heaven, the culture of heaven where

God lives. should be established where? On the

earth. Of course, we know this is before Jesus

died and he rose again. Chapter 7, verse 21.

Chapter 7, verse 21. It says, Not everyone who

says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom

of heaven. But he who does the will of my Father,

where? In heaven. So how does one get into the

kingdom of heaven? How? Huh? By what? Huh? Believers,

how do we enter the kingdom of heaven? By believing.

Right? By faith. You see, we don't enter by works.

If you are entering by works, it means that you

don't know what the will of God is. The will

of God is that you believe, that you have faith

in what Jesus has done. So not everyone who says

to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of

heaven, but he who does what? Who does the pleasure

of God? Who does what God desires? Who does what

God demands of us? The will of God. Chapter 12,

verse 50. We'll see another place where the word...

Wheel is used. 12 verse 50. For whosoever does

the wheel of my Father in heaven is what? Is

my brother and my sister and my mother. This

is Jesus speaking. Whoever does the wheel of

God is my father. Who does the wheel of my Father

in heaven is my brother, is my sister, and is

my mother. That is to say, when you do the will

of God, you come into fellowship with Jesus.

You come into the family of God by doing the

will of God. Chapter 18, verse 14. The word will.

Even so, it is not the will. Now, this is opposite.

This is in the negative. Even so, it is not the

will. It is not the desire. It is not the demand.

It is not the pleasure of your father. Who is

in heaven that one of these little ones should

perish? So God does not desire, God does not

have pleasure for people to be perished. Amen?

Luke chapter 22, verse 42. Luke 22, verse 42.

Luke 22:42 Luke 22:42

Saying, Father, this is Jesus here, praying,

if it is your will, take this cup. away from

me. Nevertheless, not my will, but what? But

yours be done. This is Jesus submitting to what?

To the will of the Father. What we do to the

will of the Father is that we submit to the will

of the Father. We embrace the will of the Father

even if it is comfortable. We embrace the will

of the Father even when we don't understand.

We submit to what gives God pleasure at all times,

at all seasons. And all circumstances, because

that is what God desires. Luke 23, verse 25.

Luke 23:25

And he released them, the one who they requested.

Now this is the Jewish, the Jewish people. Who

for rebellion and murder had been thrown into

prison. Who are they? Who are we talking about

here? Barabbas, right? But he delivered Jesus

to their will. So what is it? The word will here

is a desire of the people. What the people wants

to happen. What do people plan to happen? What

do people desire to see manifested? They desire

to see Jesus crucified. The word will. John chapter

John 1:13

1 verse 13. John chapter 1 verse 13. Our salvation

John 1:13

here. Look at our salvation. Who were born not

of the blood nor of the will of what? Of the

flesh. Which means that you being born again

is not the works of, is not an orchestration

of man. Alright? It's not a plan. Your salvation

is not designed by you or your economic council

in your country or your pastor or your church

elders. Your salvation is the will of who? Of

God. God planned, God orchestrated, God desire.

and executed your salvation. It is all about

him, what he desires and what he manifested in

Christ Jesus. Chapter 4, John chapter 4, verse

John 4:34

34. John chapter 4, verse 34. Jesus said to them,

John 4:34

my food is what? Is to do the desire. Is to do

the wishes. Is to do what God has determined.

Is to do the pleasure. Of him who sent me. And

to do what? And to finish whose work? His work.

God's work. So Jesus was committed to one thing.

The commitment of Jesus Christ. Must be the commitment

of the believer. The will of the father. The

will of the father. And of course we have the

ability to do the will of the father. What that

takes. You can read also John chapter 5 verse

John 5:30

30, John chapter 6 verse 38 to 40. You can write

John 6:38–40

it down, John chapter 5 verse 30, John chapter

John 5:30 John 6:38–40

6 verse 38 to 40. Ephesians chapter 1 from verse

Ephesians 1 · chapter mention

1 down to 11 is the will of God, the will of

God, by the will of God. So we see that Paul's

prayer is for the saints, the believers, the

Christians, to have a correct... precise knowledge

of what God wishes or has determined shall be

done or should be done, God's choice, God's plan,

His desire, and His pleasure for humanity. Hallelujah.

Now, the understanding of this, of God's will,

will result in what we see in the next verse,

Colossians. chapter 1, verse 10. With the understanding

Colossians 1:10

of the precise knowledge, the accurate knowledge

of the will of the Father, that you may walk

worthy of the Lord to fully pleasing Him. In

pleasing Him, you are being fruitful, Lord, in

every good work and increasing in the knowledge

of God. Being fruitful, In every good work is

a product of understanding what God wants of

you and then you do it. Without understanding

precisely, without understanding accurately,

it is impossible to become what's fruitful in

every good work. So the knowledge of God's will

results in working in alignment with God. It

results in doing what pleases God. It results

to being fruitful in every good work. Now, abounding

or fruitfulness in every good work refers to

what? Ministry. Amen? It refers to what? It refers

to ministry. It refers to ministry. And it's

to the saints, to every saint, to every believer.

to every Christian, every man that is born again,

it's called to ministry. You must know that that

is the will of God for you. That is the plan

of God for you. That is the desire of God for

you. So your effectiveness and precision in ministry

are a product of knowing what exactly God's plan

is. You must know what God's plan is for you,

the believer. You must know what the will of

God is for you, the believer. And there's no

way you can find the will of God. Then what?

That in the word of God. Because the word of

God is a written word of God for the believer

to know God's plan, to know God's purpose, to

know God's desire for you, to know God's desire

for the church, to know the hope to which you

were called without an explanation. Without an

accurate teaching of the word of God, it is impossible

for you to know what God demands of you. Because

it is all about the will of God and less of us.

Hallelujah. Now let's look at the believer's

identity. Who we are. It is important to note

that the believer's identity comes with... a

responsibility, or let me say the responsibility.

The knowledge of the believer's identity comes

with a responsibility to fulfill God's eternal

plan on earth. The knowledge of your identity

comes with a responsibility upon you to do the

will of God. 1 Peter chapter 1. Let's read 1

1 Peter 1 · chapter mention 1 Peter 1 · chapter mention

Peter chapter 1 from verse 22. Down to chapter

2, verse 1 to 10. 1 Peter chapter 1. 1 Peter

1 Peter 1 · chapter mention 1 Peter 1 · chapter mention

chapter 1 from verse 22. but incorruptible through

the word of God, which lives and abides forever.

Because all flesh is as grass, and all the glory

of man as the flowers of the grass. The grass

withers, and its flowers fall away. But the word

of the Lord endures forever. Now this is the

word which by the gospel was preached to you.

Chapter 2. Therefore laying aside all malice,

all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,

as newborn babes desire the pure milk of the

word, that you who may grow, if indeed you have

tested that the Lord is gracious. Coming to him

as to a living stone. We're singing about the

rock Elaron. And who or what do we say is a rock?

Huh? The Lord is a rock, right? Or the rock is

the Lord. Hallelujah. Coming to him as to a living

stone rejected indeed by men but chosen by God

and precious. You also as living stones are being

Let me say, I built up a spiritual house, a holy

priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable

to God through Jesus Christ. Therefore, it is

also contained in Scripture. Behold, I lay Zion

a chief cornerstone, elect precious. And he who

believes on him will by no means be put to shame.

Therefore to whom believe, he is precious. But

to those who are disobedient, the stone which

the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone

and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.

So when you believe, this rock is not a stumbling

block. It's not a rock of offense. It says they

stumble, being disobedient. What is that disobedience?

They refuse to believe that rock. Amen? They

refuse to believe that rock. So we are built

on him. That was our song. The Lord is a rock

of which we are built on him. When you don't

believe in a rock, you are like that foolish

man that builds his life on what? On the sun.

And we know what happened to that house. We know

what happened to that life. So they stumbled

being disobedient to the word to which they also

were appointed. But you, say but I, but you are

a chosen generation, a royal pursuit, a holy

nation, His own special people, that you May

proclaim the praises of him who called you out

of darkness into his marvelous light. Who once

were not a people, but now the people of God.

Who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained

mercy. Hallelujah. So in chapter 2, verse 4 and

5, we see the identity of the believers. We see

the identity of the church. The identity of the

believers. The identity of. We believers. It's

coming to him as a living stone. Rejected indeed

by men. But chosen by God. And precious. You

also. It called Jesus the living stone. And also

called us. The believers. You also a living stone.

As living stones. See the living stones is in

plural. Meaning everybody. That believes is also

what? It's a living stone. That is the identity

of every believer. I built up a what? A spiritual

house. A habitation. A spiritual house. A holy

priesthood. Holy means set apart. A priesthood.

A priest. A priesthood. You know, we used to

say every Sunday that we are priests. Isn't it?

We are priests. We are what? We are kings. We

are what? And prophets. Hallelujah. So we are

a holy priesthood to offer what? We offer up

spiritual sacrifices acceptable to go through

Jesus Christ. So we see in verse 4, Jesus is

a living stone. And we see believers also referred

to as living stones. This is what we call identification.

Amen? We identified with him. Because of who

he is, we become. Because of who he is and what

he has done, we become. So we identify with his

nature because we believe. This is identification.

The phrase as living stones identifies us with

Christ. He is the living stone and we are also

living stones. We live. Because we share in his

resurrection, in his resurrection life, by believing

in what he has done. Hallelujah. How many of

us know that this living stone is a figure of

speech? We know, right? Are you a stone? Are

you a rock? You are a human being. So, it's a

way of communication. Right? In English, what

do we call it? Simile? Or metaphor? Okay, what

if we carry the characteristics of a living thing

and give to a non -living thing? So, let's join

the two together. Of course, it's metaphorical,

right? But we are seen as what? As living stones.

Okay? And what is our function? We have been

built up into a spiritual house. That is also

metaphoric. Right? To us, it is a metaphor. But

spiritually, it is a reality. It is not a metaphor

spiritually. Do you understand what I just said

now? It is a spiritual reality. We must define

what stone is. Stone is a Bible language. So

stone is equal to stone in Bible language. And

you are a house. Conglomerately, we are the house

of God. We are the church of God. We are the

habitation where God dwells. Hallelujah. We are

the house of God. So we've been built up into

a spiritual house. We are not only a spiritual

house, but we are a holy priesthood. So what

is our identity? We are identified in Christ.

Our identity is in Christ. We are who Christ

is. Amen? We are identified with him. We are

a holy priesthood. What does a priest do? A priest

offers spiritual sacrifice to God. So from this,

we can know that the believers, collective and

individual, Collectively and individually, we

are spiritual, right? We are heavenly. Spiritual

simply means that we are heavenly. Spiritual

simply means that we are not only physical, but

we are spiritual by nature. Our nature, our identity

first is that we are spiritual men. We are heavenly.

And we are a dwelling place of God. We are God's

house. God's temple. I want us to note also that

this conversation is about a union. The union,

if you look through all scripture, right? We

are in God and God is in us. It's a union. Hallelujah.

It's a union. So the believers collectively are

the priesthood who offer spiritual sacrifices

to God. The priest under the law, the priest

under the law, the law of Moses, performs activities

where? Where does he perform his activities?

Inside the temple, the physical temple. So what

we see Moses did, Moses created what? A shadow

of the reality. Moses created a type of what

he saw in the heavenly. So the temple... It's

a physical representation, a pointer to the real,

which is our reality today. So the priest under

the law performs activities in the temple. He

goes into the Holy of Holies, the dwelling of

God, and offers sacrifice. He offers blood on

the altar. The priest is a typology of what Christ

has done. Number one, it's a typology of what...

Of what Christ has done. Alright. His activity

in the temple. Is an expression. Whose activity?

The activity of the priest under the law. Is

an expression. Of what Christ did. In other words.

The priest. Is proclaiming. The work of Christ.

The priest. Is demonstrating. What Christ has

done. The priest is showing, I would say, the

priest is teaching what Christ will do. Which

our reality, Christ has already done it. Hallelujah.

So we are a holy priesthood. And what we do also

is offer a spiritual sacrifice acceptable to

God. What is this spiritual sacrifice that is

acceptable to God? What is this spiritual sacrifice

that is acceptable to God? What is this spiritual?

We didn't say it's a fiscal sacrifice. We're

not saying give $10 ,000 as a sacrifice. That's

not what we're talking about here. We're not

saying bring ram and bull to be slaughtered for

sacrifice. No. The sacrifice is a spiritual sacrifice.

So what spiritual sacrifice do we offer? The

proclamation of his praises. Amen. The proclamation

of his praises. Look at verse 9. 1 Peter 2 verse

1 Peter 2:9

9. Let's read verse 5 and then we read verse

9. It says, you also as living stones are being

built up a spiritual house. A holy priesthood.

So a priest has a function. You are a holy priesthood.

To do what? To offer up spiritual sacrifices

that is acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

And we see it emphasized again in verse 9. Verse

9 says, But you are a chosen generation, a royal

priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people,

that you may what? What does a priest do? He

offers sacrifices, right? Spiritual sacrifices.

And we see emphasis here. A priesthood to do

what? To proclaim. Hallelujah. To proclaim the

praises of him who called you out of darkness

into his marvelous light. Which means that what

the priest in all order honored the Lord of Moses

as he goes into the temple and is doing those

activities. What is he doing? He's pointing at

what? What Jesus will do. In Christ. In his death

and his burial and his resurrection. So also

are we. As priests under the new order. In Christ

Jesus. We offer. What? A spiritual sacrifice.

And I say that this sacrifice we see in verse

9. That you may proclaim the praises of him.

Who called you out of darkness. Into his marvelous

light. So our identity as living stones. That

is, spiritual people that are built up into a

spiritual house comes with a priestly responsibility

of the proclamation of the works of God. Let

me repeat that. Our identity as living stones,

as spiritual people that are built up into a

spiritual house comes alongside with our priestly

responsibility. Of the proclamation of the works

of God. So you are a priest unto God. Because

you believe in Jesus Christ. In other words.

You are a minister of God unto good works. Amen.

You are a minister of God unto good works. Ephesians

Ephesians 2:10

chapter 2 verse 10. It says for we are God's

masterpiece. Ephesians 2 verse 10 NLT. It says

Ephesians 2:10

for we are God's masterpiece. He has created

us anew in Christ Jesus so that we can do good

things he planned for us long ago. What good

things has he planned long ago? That is his will,

that is his purpose for the believer. These good

things he has planned for us are the work of

ministry, the proclamation of his good works.

2 Corinthians 5, verse 18 to 19, NLT says, and

2 Corinthians 5:18–19

all of this is a gift from God. Your selection

and your being chosen by God is a product of

God's grace. It's a gift from God who brought

us back to himself through Christ. And God has

given us his tax of what? Of reconciling people

to him. For God was in Christ. Reconciling the

world to himself. No longer counting people's

sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful

message of reconciliation. So the believers have

a responsibility. The reconciliation of men to

God. By the proclamation of his good works. So.

What does it mean to proclaim? What does it mean

to proclaim? When we say proclaim His excellencies,

as the Amplifier will put it, what do we mean?

1 Peter 2 verse 9, in the Orchid Gem, it says,

1 Peter 2:9

But ye are a choosing generation, a royal priesthood,

an holy nation, a peculiar people, that ye should

shew forth the praises of Him who hath called

you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

She forth. She forth. The phrase she forth, which

is not a common English in our day today, is

translated into a modern English as set forth

in the Amplified translation. It's also translated

as declare in the NIV. Of course, in the New

King James, we see the word proclaim. And then

in a tippity, which is paraphrase, he uses the

word broadcast. Broadcast. To broadcast something.

What do you broadcast? What do you proclaim?

What do you show forth? What do you declare?

You utter. You manifest. You declare. And all

these are translated into English from a great

word, exangelo. E -X -A -N -G. E -L -O, which

means to tell out or forth, to declare abroad,

to publish, or to make known by praising or proclaiming.

Exangelo, which means to tell forth or forth,

tell out or forth, to declare abroad, to publish,

to make known by praising or proclaiming. This

word exangelo, gelo rather, is from two root

words, ek, e -k, which is a preposition. The

preposition, it explains origin. And angelos,

two words, are brought together to form exangelo.

Ek and angelos, which refers to, angelos refers

to... It refers to a messenger. It is from the

word we get angel from in English, angelos, which

is refers to a messenger, an envoy, you know,

an envoy that is sent out to deliver a responsibility.

One who is sent a messenger, especially from

God. Hallelujah. So tell yourself, am I a messenger

from God? So to shift of all, in other words,

to declare or proclaim his praises, one has to

be sent. You are sent with a definite message.

And that must not be altered. So there's a specific

message. If you are sent on error, you don't

remix the message on the way. Amen? You don't

alter the content of the message. You deliver

as you are given. It's not what I order versus

what I receive. As a deliverer of the message,

you deliver as you receive. That brings us back

to understanding the message. That brings us

back to understanding who sent us. That brings

us back to understanding the modalities of the

delivery. That brings us back to understanding

what the will of God is for the believer. Hallelujah.

The messenger is one from God to declare the

praises of him who was called out of darkness

into his marvelous light. What are the praises

of God? What are the praises of God? The Amplified

Classic says, the wonderful deeds and display

the virtues and perfection of him. Give me amplified

1 Peter 2 verse 9. Yes, it says, so that you

1 Peter 2:9

may proclaim the excellencies and he explains

these excellencies as the wonderful deeds and

the virtue and the perfections of who? Of him.

Who is that him there? Of God. Hallelujah. And

we say that that proclaim is what? Is to broadcast.

Is to speak out. Is to announce the wonderful

deeds. And how, what has God done for us? How

did he do what he did for us? The good news translation

use the word wonderful acts of God. How do we

see the wonderful acts of God? Where do we see

the wonderful acts of God? Where? In Christ.

Hallelujah. In Christ, you know the word praises

is arete, A -R -E -T -E, which refers to virtues

or the goodness, that is the quality, the characteristics

of God, who God is. And we see who God is in

what he has done. Hallelujah. We know who God

is by what he has done. And what has God done?

He gave us Christ. So we are to declare the character

of God. Who is who he is. His goodness. His virtue.

And wonderful acts. We see all this in Christ

and what he has accomplished. Colossians 1 .15.

Colossians 1 .15. We see it. We see the goodness

of God. We know God through Christ. He is the

exact living image. the essential manifestation

of the unseen God, the visible representation

of the invisible, the firstborn, the preeminent

one, the sovereign and the originator of all

creation. Hebrews 1 .3 The Son is a radiance,

the only registered, patented, qualified, approved

modality. In which you know God. I just paraphrase.

This verse. The sun is a radiance. And the only

expression of the glory of our awesome God. Reflecting

God's kind of glory. The light being. The brilliant

light of the divine. And the exact representation.

And the perfect imprint of his father. Of his

father. His father's essence. So believers. Our

identity as a choosing people, as royal priesthood,

and a holy nation is to preach and to teach the

wonderful works of God which he has accomplished

in Christ Jesus. This is our life. This is our

song. And this is our reality. Glory to God.

We'll continue from here next time. Let's just

close our eyes and begin to pray. If today's

message was a blessing, share it with a friend.

Till next time, be blessed.
