Five Dimensions of Christ 's Calling

UV 3686/10000 Five Dimensions of Christ's Calling For to us a Child shall be born, to us a Son shall be given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9 v 6 The dispensation that we are called into by faith in Jesus have five dimensions. Every day we should be living these five dimensions: Wonder- or the miraculous dimension. We should always hope for the supernatural intervention, the miraculous acts of God in our lives in every area. Counsel- or the wisdom dimension. We should be lovers of godly wisdom embedded in the word of God. Might- or power: We walk in the power of God and manifest it in what we think, speak and do. Father’s love: We enjoy the everlasting love of God, the agape love described by St Paul in I Corinthians chapter 13. Peace: we should be enjoying peace in our inner being having been reconciled with the Father by Jesus. We should be at peace with ourselves. We should live in peace with others. We enjoy the peace that passes understanding, the peace of Jesus, the peace of the Prince of Peace, the peace the world cannot give or take away. Jesus takes the responsibility to be our Wonderful Counsellor, Our shelter, our refuge, our protection, Our Shepherd, Our loving Father, the One who rules us by giving us peace and not by inducing fear in us. Five dimensions of life and each dimension has its own cascading characteristics. As ambassadors of Christ on earth, we represent God. We are to be His mouthpieces. We are to manifest His qualities of character in our daily lives. We are not meant to live ordinary lives but extraordinary for Jesus is extraordinary, right from the way His birth was prophesied – the location, the manner, the kind of person His mother would be, His looks, His character, His work and ministry, His sacrificial death, His miracles, His teachings, His wisdom, His grace. He is the ultimate sovereign we owe our allegiance to, the One who rules over us, the One who guides us to our eternal destiny. We are ambassadors who receive our credentials from the Lord. The closer we walk with God, the Holy Spirit and Christ Jesus, the more we are soaked in the character of Jesus and we reflect His light, His wisdom, His grace, His love, His peace to the world around us. His very name by which we are called gives us access to the five dimensions. His name gives us access to eternal forgiveness, to the heart of God. His name gives us authority and power on earth to command healing, deliverance, victory. His name gives us access to the resources and provision of the Lord. The crises, challenges, shortages are but opportunities for the Lord to reveal His wonderful power, wisdom, love. He is the One who governs us and His influence and power is ever increasing.
