A very interesting event occurs in the bible, a man, a noble man is in search for the one true God, the church is new and preachers of the risen Nazarene are scarce,

 This man named Cornelius is desperate and prays all year long to find the truth .He does all good that Jesus in his teachings admonished, he gives alms, He is kind

God hears him and an angel appears to him in a vision

 Now there's an unusual relay of information here, this angel, a celestial being asks Cornelius to send for man named Peter whose words will salvation to Cornelius's household

 what does a mortal have that a being who lives in the very presence of God can't give.

 God will usher salvation only through the words of a Christian Fisherman

 Eternal life lay more in the embers of a believing mortal more than it did with an angel

 This oddness repeats itself further in acts, This time Jesus himself would show himself to Paul who he would instruct to send for ananais who will open the latter's eyes and fill him with God's Spirit.

 Jesus skips an angel and himself and places the ordinance of deliverance upon mere men

 except they were not mere

 For those who believe are the custodians of his grace and power

 we are not just fellow colleagues at work

we are not just wives and husbands to our partners

we are not just siblings to our relatives

we are "blessers"

 we command the blessing

we are bearers of light and of life

[we are EMISSARIES OF ZOE!

God has done a beautiful thing in us, He has lighted upon our hearts as flame on a candle, all of his perfection, wisdom and love all resident in us, as we learn more and walk with him, this marvelous light radiates, we are not like mere men, we are not inpatient, petty, rude, callous, selfish, we are full of love, faith, boldness, kindness and all that is God, We must reeducate our souls so the light upon the candle of our spirits can be seen,

 Paul says, that the Communication of our faith(the radiation of this light) will become effective by acknowledging every good thing given to us in Christ Jesus.

We are accepted in the beloved

God has determined to love us and robe us in the image and identity of Hos glorious son

It's His final stance

It's the Highest pedestal a human being can be placed upon

To be accepted in God's Beloved.

God's word says we are 'accepted' in the beloved

the word 'accepted' means chosen, sought out, HIGHLY FAVOURED

We are not accidents, we are loved and chosen by God

We have a Wisdom from above, Given to us to use and tread this world

We have ability in Christ Jesus that makes us victorious in this world

Paul tasks the church to 'walk in the Spirit and they will not fulfill the lust of the flesh'

what does it mean?

To walk in the Spirit means to walk in the direction of an inward life

A life of Glory which God installed when we first believed.

God abhorrs Hopelessness IN His Children

He has given us His word, and on the Promises we stand

The Hope of the world provokes anxiety,

The Hope of God's word inspires Joy,

For He is True

God CANNOT LIE!

Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be."

Even the darkest of nights, we can dare to hope,

dare to imagine victoty

For we believe in a one who raises the dead!

In the final of this 

we hear this

God's wisdom is given us in His son to triumph in a dark world,

where we shine as lights!

But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus who of God has been unto us Wisdom

By His Wisdom, The worlds were formed

By this sceptre was salvation ordained

By the same does all of his goodness flow

This Wisdom is Personified in Jesus who is ours

By this wisdom will we who believe partake of His divine nature and savor our world with glory of his goodness
