“But God, who is rich
in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead
in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been
saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly
places in Christ Jesus.”—Ephesians 2:4-6
God’s
desire for the body of Christ is for us to sit together with Him. Sadly, most Christians do not realize where
they are to sit. Instead of being aware
that they have this awesome place of honor and respect, too often they see
themselves as begging for whatever already belongs to them. Picture a king sitting in his throne room on
a beautiful chair. Envision him thirsty
and needing a glass of water what does he do?
He does not beg for a glass of water he tells his servant to get him
something to drink. Beloved, you are a “…chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a
holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him
who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a
people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have
obtained mercy” (1 Peter 2:9-10). Once
you became a new creature in Christ Jesus, you became a royal priesthood. No longer do you have to beg.
Determine
in your heart today to no longer live your life as a failure, moaning,
complaining and begging. God is on your
side, He is for you not against you. We
are His children and He loves us. It is
a legal fact that you no longer have to beg for what is already yours, “For you did not receive the spirit of
bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry
out ‘Abba Father.’ The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are
children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with
Him, that we may also be glorified together” (Romans 8:14-17).
Accept
as fact that you a representative of the kingdom of God and as a representative
you have certain rights. It is your
right to have everything that pertains to life, health, and abundance, and now
by faith begin to partake of that position (that seat) that He has given to you
in the heavenlies.
Prayer—Father I thank You that You have given to me
everything that pertains to life, health abundance, and I purpose in my heart
to partake of that position that you have given to me by faith, in Jesus Name.
Amen.
