“To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord,” (Ephesians 3:10-11).
This verse says that the wisdom of God will be revealed through the church. Last week we talked about the wounded condition of so many people because of the church. But, is it because the church speaks truth or is it because the church is not truly living up to her full potential? Being hurt by the church when she speaks of the things that are righteous and true versus when we are injured by believers not acting like the church is not the same thing.
Placing our trust in men and not in God and expecting men to fulfill the role that only God can fulfill in our lives is often what leads to being hurt in the church. How can Pastors do a better job of handing off their members to God rather than perhaps feeling that they need to resolve all of their members issues? Would this solve some of the hurt issues both for the minister and for the members?
The world needs the church to be the manifold wisdom of God in this day and age. She must stop shrinking back and instead take back the ground she has given up both in the spiritual and in the natural. No longer can she play nurse maid, but she must equip and prepare and send out the leaders this nation so desperately needs and she must do it with love and integrity and righteousness. We need the righteous voice of the church to burn with fire in this nation again so that America will once again be that shining example. We had a great time on Chosen Generation radio last week.
