God's Plan to Plant Us

UV 4152/10000 God’s Plan to Plant us I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My ordinances and do them. Ezekiel 36 v 27 God pours His Spirit, the Holy Spirit on His people. The Holy Spirit is the great Enabler. He enables us to remember, understand, interpret, apply, appropriate, obey, believe the promises and commands of God. He teaches us step by step, day by day, moment by moment. He helps us store His precious word in our hearts. We are given a new heart or a new set of attitudes towards God, man and nature by imbibing the Word. He gives us a new spirit to trust and obey His word, to walk according to it. By faith we are grafted onto the True Vine, Jesus. Thereafter, the word is our food, our fuel, our sap that rises in us to encourage, empower, enable us to do the will of God. Anything short of the will of God is ill and will not do us good. Hence, we do not look to the hills or persons of influence and wealth and power in this world. We rely on the Holy Spirit to burn His word into our hearts like the ten commands were burnt by the flame from the finger of God into rock. Our hearts that were previously insensitive, unbelieving, cynical, sinful become soft like soil that is ready for planting through a process of irrigation and ploughing. We no longer want to focus on our plan but we desire to be a plant for the Lord to reveal His splendour. In short, each of us becomes not just a witness for God and Christ but we are the very evidence of God and His goodness on earth. Everything we speak and do, we do as representatives or the elect of God. We are not like the world’s elites who rise in prominence due to their wealth, glamour, talent, abilities, enterprise, hard work. We rise and shine by His grace. We do not arrogantly ask for proof of His existence but we become proof of not just His existence but His absolute goodness or grace.
