“To make all men see what the fellowship of the mystery is…to the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God” (Eph. 3:9-10). When we, by God’s grace, are redeemed by the Blood of His Son, we are like vessels of clay, which are given into the hands of a Master-Artist. Unknown to us the skilful Hand of God is working out designs, heavenly designs upon us.Day and night He goes on working upon us His heavenly designs. A day is coming when He will present us before all the heavenly angels,
and will say: ‘Come, my angels, look at this vessel called Paul!’ And they will say to God: “How did you make him so beautiful?” I am not telling you fairy stories, but the truth from God’s Word!When we see our Lord face to face, and become like Him, we will be admired by all the heavenly hosts.
As we read our Bible from Genesis to Revelation, we may see how in fact God plans to do so. He is working out that plan even now, for God purposed from eternity past to show forth His glory to us and through us.

You are a child of God | January 26
“As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now
have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee” (1 Chron.
29:17).
Only as you are trained spiritually, and brought through many experiences to spiritual
maturity, will you ever know God’s full thought for His house, the Church. David fought many
battles, but it was in these very battles that he gained his spiritual training. In 1 Chronicles
26:27, we read that it was the spoil of the battles that was dedicated towards the beautifying
of the House of God. If you are a child of God and have begun to walk in obedience to Him,
then God will never leave you until He has given you the full, clear pattern, even as He gave
it to David. In all his many experiences David was gathering material for the temple.
Every dimension, every material, even the windows and doors and colours were to show forth
the glory of God by displaying, in type, the Lord Jesus Christ in His church. The church is not
an earthly building. It is a spiritual building in which is to be revealed the love of God in Christ
for man’s salvation.
