The spiritual reality of the rainbow should be manifest in the church today by allowing God to fill us with His righteous presence and work as a sanctifying fire to make us His radiant expression of glory until we become the rainbow city, the New Jerusalem, testifying of God’s faithfulness to carry out His new covenant in making us exactly the same as He is! Hallelujah!
Lord Jesus, gain the spiritual reality of the rainbow being expressed in the church life today! We allow You to fill us with Your righteous presence. We give You the full opportunity to work in us as the sanctifying fire. Gain Your radiant expression of glory through our coordination as the corporate Christ! Amen, Lord, Christify us until we become the same as You are in life, nature, and expression but not in the Godhead! Keep us under the transmission of Christ until we become the masterpiece of the Triune God! Hallelujah! Amen!
Thank the Lord for His eternal economy, according to which He is operating in us and around us to work Himself into us and make us the same as He is.
Especially as it relates to God’s primary attributes of righteousness, holiness, and glory, these used to exclude man because of sin, but because of Christ’s redemptive work and becoming the life-giving Spirit, we now can enjoy God!
We can enjoy Christ as wisdom from God to us – a continual transmission of what Christ is into our being for us to enjoy Him as our righteousness for our past, sanctification for our present, and redemption for our future.
As we enjoy Christ in this way, something amazing happens: we become like a rainbow, expressing God in His glory by being sanctified by His holiness and based on His righteousness. Wow!
And all this takes place under the divine dispensing of the Triune God as life. The Triune God is dispensing Himself as life into the tripartite man according to His righteousness, through His holiness, and unto His glory.
The rainbow is a sign of God’s covenant with man, a sign of God’s faithfulness in keeping His covenant that there will be no more judgment of death.
Today we may have failures, we may sin, and there may be many weaknesses, but we are under the new covenant, which assures us that God will work Himself into us as newness of life to make us the same as He is, even to make us the New Jerusalem.
We are secured and guaranteed today, even protected by the great promises of God, and we are becoming the spiritual reality of the rainbow. Hallelujah!
As Covenanted People we have the Spiritual Reality of the Rainbow be Manifest in the Church Life: we’re being Christified to become the Same as Christ in Life and Nature!
In our church life today we should have the spiritual reality of the rainbow being manifest (Ezek. 1:5-14, 26-28).
This means that we need to cooperate with the Lord for Him to gain the corporate glorious expression He needs today by our enjoyment of the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity in His righteousness, holiness, and glory.
May we allow God to fill us with His righteous presence by giving Him the full opportunity to work in us as the sanctifying fire for His radiant expression of glory through our coordination as the corporate Christ.
Our Christian life and church life are a covenant life; we are covenanted people who enjoy the promises of God as seen in the Word of God.
We need to learn how to live under God’s covenant and not be threatened or frightened by any clouds of convictions, feelings, or environments.
We are under God’s blessing, and there is no more condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. To us, death has been abolished and everything is life; we enjoy the divine life in the church life.
We are not afraid of losing our job or health, and we do not feel threatened by any dark negative thing. Rather, we believe into the promises of God, for our destiny is under the blood-sprinkled covenant.
What a privilege it is for us to be covenanted people who enjoy God’s blessing!
Our Christian life should be a life under God’s blessing and our church life should be in the enjoyment of the blessings of the covenant. We open to the Lord and allow Him to work in us as the sanctifying fire for His radiant expression of glory through our coordination as the corporate Christ.
When we speak of being covenanted people, we need to realise that Christ Himself is the covenant of God given to His people for their “Christification.”
Christ Himself, signified by the rainbow of righteousness, holiness, and glory, is the covenant of God given to His people for their Christification.
God gave Christ to us for us to be Christified, that is, for us to be made exactly the same as He is in life, nature, and expression but not in the Godhead (Isa. 42:6; Heb. 8:10-12).
Christ is our covenant; He is given to us by God as the divine transmission for us to enjoy Him, experience Him, and partake of Him, so that we may become the same as Him!
1 Corinthians 1:30 tells us that Christ is wisdom to us from God, both righteousness and sanctification and redemption.
Christ is wisdom to us from God, transmitting Himself into us as righteousness (that we might be reborn in our spirit), sanctification (that we might be transformed in our soul), and redemption (that we might be glorified in our body) (see 1 Cor. 1:30; Rom. 8:10; 12:2; 8:23; Phil. 3:21).
Hallelujah, God is continually transmitting Christ into us as righteousness, sanctification, and redemption so that He may gain the spiritual reality of the rainbow in the church life!
Day by day we are under the divine transmission of the Triune God in Christ as our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption for us to express God in His righteousness, holiness, and glory.
The dispensing of the Triune God as life into us, the tripartite man, is according to His righteousness, through His holiness, and unto His glory.
He is Christifying us as He is dispensing Himself into us so that we may become the same as He is. He is leading us, the many sons of God, into glory, so that we become the same as Christ in every possible way for God’s glorification, His corporate expression! Amen!
When we read this and hear this, oh Lord, may we praise the Lord and open to Him to give Him our best cooperation today!
Lord Jesus, we open to You today: gain the spiritual reality of the rainbow being manifested in the church today! Amen, Lord, we allow You to fill us with Your righteous presence by giving You the full opportunity to work in us as the sanctifying fire for Your radiant expression of glory through our cooperation as the corporate Christ! We just want to cooperate with You today. Keep us open to Your divine dispensing. Hallelujah, God gave Christ as the covenant to us for our Christification! Amen, Lord, we open to Your inner work by Your divine dispensing: make us exactly the same as You are in life, nature, and expression but not in the Godhead! Hallelujah, Christ is wisdom to us from God, transmitting Himself into us as righteousness, holiness, and redemption! Lord Jesus, have a way in our being today! Keep us under the continual transmission of all that God is into our being for us to be made the same as Christ in every possible way! Hallelujah, in the church life we have the manifestation of the spiritual reality of the rainbow! Praise the Lord!
The Transmission of Christ as the Multifarious Wisdom of God into our being Makes us the Masterpiece of the Triune God as the Wise Exhibition of All that He Is!
The Bible is both precise and economical in the way the types and figures are used.
We see the rainbow in the clouds at the time of Noah, as a sign of God’s covenant and His faithfulness, and we see the rainbow also in Ezekiel around the man on the throne above a clear sky.
If we look at the New Jerusalem, the entire city has the appearance of a rainbow, for the foundation stones of the holy city are of twelve layers, with each layer being a different colour (Rev. 21:10-20).
The New Jerusalem looks like a rainbow; this signifies that the city is built upon and secured by God’s faithfulness in keeping His covenant.
What the rainbow declares for eternity is that, when God judged sinners according to His righteousness, He did not destroy everyone but saved many from destruction as a testimony of His faithfulness. Hallelujah! We are God’s spared ones to be the holy city.
We will have the appearance of a rainbow declaring to the whole universe God’s saving faithfulness. This shows that our experience of the Christian life and of the church life will consummate in such a rainbow.
God will have the fulfilment of His heart’s desire. Throughout the ages, God has been judging fallen man according to His righteous throne, His holy fire, and His glorious nature.
However, He has saved some to such an extent that they have become a bright rainbow reflecting His glory and testifying of Him and His faithfulness forever.
When others see the New Jerusalem, they will realise that heaven and earth have been joined, and God has gained a group of people who for eternity will reflect the brightness of God’s righteousness, holiness, and glory. Wow!
This is what God will obtain in the New Jeursalem, and the spiritual reality of this should be manifest in the church life today.
Today in the church life we need to allow God to work in us and we should open to Him, receiving grace to the extent that everything becomes pure, just, and holy.
We need to let the fire of God’s holiness burn away everything that does not match God so that God’s nature is manifested as bright gold in and through our humanity.
Then, the church will be filled with God’s righteousness, holiness, and glory. The transmission of Christ, as the multifarious wisdom of God, into our being makes us the masterpiece of the Triune God as the wise exhibition of all that He is (1 Cor. 1:30; Eph. 2:10; 3:9-11).
We are becoming the masterpiece of the Triune God, the wise exhibition of all that He is, even a poem expressing His infinite wisdom and divine design. This is our destiny.
In eternity as the New Jerusalem (a city whose foundations have the appearance of a rainbow—Rev. 21:19-20), we will be a rainbow to testify of God’s faithfulness to carry out His new covenant in making us exactly the same as He is as righteousness, holiness, and glory (vv. 10-11).
Wow, we are becoming the masterpiece of the Triune God! We are His masterpiece created in Christ Jesus. A masterpiece is a work of art that expresses the maker’s wisdom and design.
God is a Maker, a Designer, an Architect; the New Jerusalem will be God’s masterpiece expressing His infinite wisdom and divine design.
He created the new man in Himself to show His infinite design and wisdom, and He will gain His glory. The multifarious wisdom of God is made known through the church to the whole universe.
God invented a new thing: the new man is a new invention of God, for it is man mingled with God, God mingled with man, for God’s corporate expression.
The Triune God went through a process to be the zoe life, the life that is divine and can be received by man. He came as the tree of life, and the shell of His humanity was broken to release the divine life hidden in Him.
He was baptised with the baptism of His death and released the divine life, the divine fire, for us all to receive the divine life and catch the divine fire!
When we exercise our spirit, we fan our spirit into flame, and we are filled with the divine fire! There’s an impelling power of the divine life in us that keeps us going on until we become the same as He is!
Our path is brighter and brighter, and we are becoming just as He is.
As we spend time with the Lord in the morning, we receive and enjoy the divine transmission of Christ as the multifarious wisdom of God into our being so that we may be made the masterpiece of the Triune God!
We may not see much change in us, we may even think we’re getting worse, but actually, the Lord is taking us through a process until we become the New Jerusalem.
We will be a rainbow to testify of God’s faithfulness to carry out His new covenant in making us exactly the same as He is as righteousness, holiness, and glory.
Lord Jesus, we come to You day by day to contact You, receive You, and be filled with You! We want to have a consistent, habitual, personal, affectionate, private, and spiritual time with You every morning! May our path be brighter and brighter. Lord Jesus, we open to the transmission of Christ as the multifarious wisdom of God into our being so that we may become the masterpiece of the Triune God! Hallelujah, as we open to the Lord’s divine transmission, we are becoming God’s masterpiece, the wise exhibition of all that He is! Amen, Lord, work Yourself into us a little more today. Make us the poem expressing Your infinite wisdom and divine design. Wow, for eternity we will be the New Jerusalem as a rainbow to testify of God’s faithfulness to carry out His new Covenant! Amen, Lord, make us exactly the same as You are as righteousness, holiness, and glory! We exercise our spirit to contact You and receive Your divine transmission for You to carry out Your economy in us! Amen, Lord, gain the spiritual reality of the rainbow in the church life today!
