2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:


3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,


4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)


5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;



6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:


7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.


8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;


9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:


10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,


11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:


12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.


13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.


14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,


15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,


16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;


17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,


18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;


19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.


20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,


21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.


The MESSAGE:


The mystery which was hidden in previous ages was revealed by the Spirit to Paul, Apostles and Prophets. The mystery is that Gentiles should become fellow heirs of God and partakers of God’s promise in Christ through the gospel. Paul’s mandate was to preach to Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ. He is to expound this mystery such that the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the Church to principalities and powers in heavenly places. God accomplished this eternal purpose in Christ. Paul’s prayers for the Ephesian church were that; (1) God grant them to be strengthened with might in their inner man, (3) They know the love of Christ and be filled with God’s fullness.


Having understood the mystery that Gentiles should become members of God’s family, what should you do? Simple – you should preach and support the spreading of the gospel, So that more gentiles will be saved As a member of the Church, you should manifest God’s wisdom and power to the kingdom of darkness. You should also pray that the Church be strengthened and grounded in love. It is also important to pray that Christians will know God deeply, understand His love and experience His fullness. Will you obey?


PRAYER: Cause me O Lord to do your will concerning this revealed mystery. Amen.
