Weekly Pursuit – Week 2 of September
Verses:
2 Tim. 2:1 “You therefore, my child, be empowered in the grace which is in Christ Jesus.”
Excerpts:
Today the earth is filled with chaos. Chaos is everywhere. Every part of society is chaotic. However, we should not be discouraged. In addition to the satanic chaos, there is the divine economy. Whereas the satanic chaos will come to an end, the divine economy will reach a consummation. The end of the satanic chaos will be the lake of fire, and the consummation of the divine economy will be the New Jerusalem. Both in the Bible and in our experience, the satanic chaos always goes along with the divine economy. Where there is the divine economy, there is the satanic chaos. Where God is, Satan is also.
The overcomers are those who suffer the chaos, but they are not disappointed or discouraged. Instead, they are strengthened and enabled to stand for and live out the divine economy, becoming those who triumph in the unique constructive economy.
We have to conquer the satanic chaos by the processed and consummated Triune God as the all-sufficient grace. In 1 Corinthians 15:10 Paul says that the grace of the Lord was with him; in Galatians 6:18 he says that the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is with our spirit; and in 2 Timothy 4:22 he says that the Lord is with our spirit. The Lord as the all-sufficient grace is with our spirit, and we can conquer all the satanic chaos and carry out the unique divine economy by Him as our all-sufficient grace. (The Satanic Chaos in the Old Creation and the Divine Economy for the New Creation, chs. 1-3)
