The Eternal Purpose of God - Part 7 — Stephen Kaung

Moses Knows God's Righteous Ways

Everyone that you ever he may be. Why? Why all these things? Moses commanded the children of Israel to do. Why? Because he knows the way of god. He know god is so righteous. God's righteousness has to be indicated.

Moses Intercedes Because God Is Merciful

It cannot be immediately afterwards, he went up to the mountain and pleaded for the children of Israel. Because he knew god is merciful. Brothers and sisters, if we know the ways of god, then we are able to work together with god.

Otherwise, we will not be able. So, how important is again that we may know his counsel. Now, when you think of the counsel of god, of course, in the scripture, you'll find instance in chapter eleven, it said, oh, the depths of the wisdom and the knowledge of god how unsearchable are your judgment?

How untraceable are your ways? Who has been your counselor? Does god need to ask anybody anything? The wisdom of god. But thank god we are able to know his ways. We are able to know his counsel. And because of that, we're able to work together with him.

Knowing God's Purpose and His Way

Just recently, I read something that dear brother spoke in Manila in 1964. And he said, it is important to know god's purpose. But if you only know god's purpose, and you do not know god's way, the way to that purpose, it is useless.

We need not only to know god's purpose. We also need to know god's ways. His counsel. And then finally, the third thing is work. God works. He works according to the counsel of his will. That that purpose may be fulfilled.

God Works According to His Will

Our god is a working god. You remember the lord Jesus said in John chapter five verse seventeen. My father worketh his atonement and I work. You see, god has been working ever since. After he created the heavens after he created man, he was supposed to have his rest now because on the seventh day, he rested.

He look at everything he said, wonderful. Very soon, his rest was broken. Our father Adams and Eve, they sing the word in the garden of Eden. And God began to work again. Adam, where are you? God began to come to seek and to find the lost.

And how god called Abraham, how god worked with the children of Israel and how god even sent his only begotten son into this world and he has been working ever since. God works. And he works according to the might of his strength.

The Exceeding Greatness of God's Power

That exceeding great power. In Ephesians chapter one, we are told, if our eyes be open, we will see the exceeding greatness of his power towards us who believe. According to the might of his strength, in raising up Christ from the dead and seated him on high at his right hand and put everything under his feet.

Brothers and sisters, that's the working power. God can answer us exceedingly above. All that we can even ask or think of. To the glory of god. So, we do see, god has a glorious purpose and that purpose.
