13 In Him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in Him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:13-14 (NIV)
Oh, to know, to really deeply and truly know, to treasure, and to live from that place, where you rest assured in the fact that you have been sealed with the promise of the Holy Spirit, what greater guarantee could we not have!
When you seal something, you do so with the intent of preserving it.
That is exactly what God did through sealing us with His Holy Spirit.
As indicated earlier in this Devotion, God Himself is keeping your body, soul and spirit blameless and preserved.
What does it mean for you to be sealed with His Holy Spirit?
Do you take comfort and reassurance from the fact that He has committed Himself to you, by investing His very own nature inside of you?
If God has so invested Himself within you, and He walks this earth in you, through you, as you, then He has a very definite vested interest in ensuring you are kept not only holy, but also kept sane, kept strong, kept encouraged, and ultimately ensure your success as the ‘more than a conqueror’ that you are in Him.
As commented by Kleynhans, the fact that God sealed us, indicates that it was something that He did, and which we had nothing to do with , praise God!
Reflection Prompts
• Picture the Holy Spirit as a seal stamped on you. What does that image stir in your heart—security, belonging, protection?
• Where do you need reassurance of God’s commitment to your future today?
• Thank the Holy Spirit out loud for living inside you as the guarantee of your full inheritance.
Prayer:
Thank you, Father, for sealing me with your Holy Spirit, for keeping me as the ‘apple of your eye’ (Zech 2:8) and for enabling me to live life that place of divine reassurance and rest.
Resting in your unending and perfect love! ]]> Religion & Spirituality Wed, 31 Dec 2025 08:40:00 +0200 0 0 In Christ Realities_A Short Devotional of Ephesians_Day 7 0 0 Charles van Onselen full 2:37 Charles van Onselen's Audio https://iono.fm/e/1631333 https://iono.fm/e/1631333 INHERITORS IN AND OF CHRIST
11 In Him we have obtained an inheritance – Ephesians 1:11 (NIV)
What a glorious truth, that you have an inheritance which is rich beyond compare! It is Christ Himself, as He already promised to Abram in Genesis 15:1, when He said that He was Abram’s ‘very great reward’.
One of our biggest challenges in this epoch is avarice, discontentment, and disillusionment.
Why?
Because we often set our hearts, our affections, our hopes and dreams on the wrong places, and that hope deferred, makes the heart sick (Prov 13:12).
But when we look to Christ, and Him alone, as our exceedingly great reward, and inheritance, delighting ourselves in Him, as our chief pleasure (Ps 37:4), we can never be disappointed.
You have an inheritance in the One who owns all the gold and silver (Haggai 2:8), how could He ever not be enough?
Yet our experience sometimes may differ when we look at our bank accounts, doesn’t it? We need to honestly ask ourselves though whether the unlimited, eternal, unchanging God, can be compared with the limited, temporary, and dynamic nature of our monetary system?
During a recent meditation on God’s unlimited provision, and the resources under my stewardship, I felt the distinct impression in my spirit, as if He was asking me, ‘My son, do you want to live capped, or uncapped’?
Reflection Prompts
• Where have you perhaps misplaced your hope lately (finances, people, achievements)? How has that felt?
• Sit quietly and ask: “Jesus, show me how You are my exceeding great reward today.”
• Write down one way you can delight yourself in the Lord this week instead of lesser things.
Prayer:
Thank you, Father, for an uncapped, unlimited rich inheritance in You, as my exceeding abundant reward! Thank you that you have provided Yourself, and that you are more than able, to richly provide even more (Phil 4:19), seeing that you have given us everything that pertains to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). ]]> Religion & Spirituality Wed, 31 Dec 2025 08:39:00 +0200 0 0 In Christ Realities_A Short Devotional of Ephesians_Day 6 0 0 Charles van Onselen full 2:41 Charles van Onselen's Audio https://iono.fm/e/1631332 https://iono.fm/e/1631332 PURPOSED IN CHRIST
8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ – Ephesians 1:8 (NIV)
Wow, imagine…
You are purposed in Christ! He has decided to make known the mysteries of His will to you. It was His good pleasure to give you His Kingdom (Luke 12:32).
If by this time there is still any doubt in your mind, I want to encourage you to reject those thoughts outright, because God has chosen you, and in addition, He purposed you!
There is no need to feel tossed to and fro, without purpose, for the Master of the Universe, has already decided what you have been destined for, and that destiny, is greatness itself!
Jesus said that He came to give us life, and life in abundance! As Gustav Gous says, a 10 out of 10 life! (John 10:10).
In the infamous words of St. Irenaeus (spiritual son of Polycarp, who in turn was a son/disciple of John, the beloved disciple);
“The glory of God is the living man, and the life of man is the vision of God’
What is it that gives you life, that energises you, that makes you feel alive? That gives a clue as to the purpose God has shaped you for.
Reflection Prompts
• What activities or moments make you feel most alive and energised? How might they hint at God’s purpose for you?
• Read Psalm 139:16 aloud. Thank God for writing your days already in His Book, how does this make you feel?.
Prayer:
Thank you, Papa Father, for creating and forming me for Your purpose, I praise you for you all my days were written in your Book, before one of them came to pass (Ps 139:16) ]]> Religion & Spirituality Wed, 31 Dec 2025 08:38:00 +0200 0 0 In Christ Realities_A Short Devotional of Ephesians_Day 5 0 0 Charles van Onselen full 2:19 Charles van Onselen's Audio https://iono.fm/e/1631327 https://iono.fm/e/1631327 REDEMPTION AND FORGIVENESS IN CHRIST
7 In Him (Christ) we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses – Ephesians 1:7 (NIV)
What a glorious reality it is to know that you have been forgiven of all your trespasses, past, present and future!
“For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.” – Hebrews 10:14 (NIV)
When you are in Christ, you possess redemption through His blood.
That means that whatever happened in the past, whatever sins, failings, defeats, shame or guilt may have haunted you, God dealt with that through the cross of Christ Jesus and redeemed it.
He ransomed you and made you holy and blameless in His sight!
What a glorious truth!
God loves you, is jealous over you, and will make sure that you are kept holy and blameless until the day of His coming! (Col 1:22, 1 Thess 5:23).
He is leading you into paths of righteousness for His name’s sake (Ps 23:3) will graciously complete that good work which He has begun in you (Phil 1:6).
He has invested Himself in you and has a greater commitment to your success than you could ever have.
What a glorious truth to know that we have been redeemed, and forgiven, so that we can move forward with great liberty to, and from, His throne of Grace (Heb 4:14-16), divinely enabled to walk emancipated from all guilt and shame, and conquer this world, with His love!
Reflection Prompts
• Is there perhaps a past failure or sin which haunts you and you still carry shame about? Bring it to Jesus now and receive His full forgiveness.
• How does knowing you are already “holy and blameless” in God’s sight free you to live boldly today?
• Pray for someone you know who struggles with guilt, asking God to reveal this truth to them.
Prayer:
Thank you, Holy Father, for your relentless love and forgiveness, redeeming me, and wiping the slate clean once and for all, so I may run with you, with all the divine energy You placed in me. ]]> Religion & Spirituality Wed, 31 Dec 2025 08:31:00 +0200 0 0 In Christ Realities_A Short Devotional of Ephesians_Day 4 0 0 Charles van Onselen full 2:48 Charles van Onselen's Audio https://iono.fm/e/1631175 https://iono.fm/e/1631175 It is not presented as an exegetical submission or theological treatise but are the words of an appreciative son of God, reflecting on our Father’s goodness, who translated us out of the kingdom of darkness, into the kingdom of His Son, and more so, into the Son Himself.
