DELUXE PAVILION - PART 7

MONDAY 20 NOVEMBER 2023

In several passages of the Bible, God instructed us to refuse to fear. For instance, in Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV), He said, "Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Jesus also did the same severally. To instantiate His instruction in that regard, in John 14:27, He said, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid" (NIV).

This simply means that the information you don't need to entertain is any information that brings fear. To that effect, we are to come boldly and function accordingly! As we delve into the final part of this topic, we'll gain insight into the fundamental benefits of throne room empowerment, which we've been invited to become part of, and how it practically plays out in our Christian lives.

Reference: PSALM 27:4-5 The Message (MSG) "I'm asking God for one thing, only one thing: To live with Him in His house my whole life long. I'll contemplate His beauty; I'll study at His feet. That's the only quiet, secure place in a noisy world, The perfect getaway, far from the buzz of traffic."

The Psalmist says, "The LORD has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all" (Psalm 103:19 NKJV). Ephesians 2:6 (NIV) also says, "And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus." With the cognizance these Scriptures convey, we can be empowered to function with a continual display of audacious approach and practical valour in any given situation.

Have you contemplated the truth that your heavenly Father's Kingdom rules over all? Have you also considered what it means to be raised to the greatest rank or position with Christ in the heavenly realms? Once you grasp the weight and value of these Scriptural truths, such cognizance or awareness will inspire courage in you and stir up your faith.

God knows what the absence of fear can do for you, and that's the reason you've been enjoined to come boldly. As you continually function with such attitude, the benefits of His pavilion in the throne room will be revealed in your life in accordance with the following Scriptures:

Psalm 36:7-8 (NCV) "God, your love is so precious! You protect people in the shadow of your wings. They eat the rich food in your house, and you let them drink from your river of pleasure" (Divine protection and richness of supply).

Psalm 23:1-2 (KJV) "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters" (Divine provision).

Psalm 65:4 (NLT) "What joy for those you choose to bring near, those who live in your holy courts. What festivities await us inside your holy Temple." (Fullness of Joy, plus His goodness).

Isaiah 58:11 (NET)

"The Lord will continually lead you; He will feed you even in parched regions. He will give you renewed strength, and you will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring that continually produces water" (Guidance, renewed energy or vigour, retained freshness and unending fruitfulness).

In conclusion, I want you to be conscious of facing any situation in your life with substantial composure, and from the standpoint of victory, courage, boldness and dominion, bearing in mind that you always carry a distinctive and peculiar atmosphere generated in His pavilion. For this reason, I was inspired to share this topic with you, so you can build your faith strong with the divine ideas and perspectives embedded in all the series or succession it contains and also, remain consistent in demonstrating the boldness of the Spirit, as you live your life to please God. Shalom!

Scripture Reading - Psalm 16:11; Isaiah 26:3; Psalm 84:1; 2 Thessalonians 3; Psalm 23:6.

Exuberant Declaration: The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all. I wallow in the luxury of His presence because I'm so grateful that I've been transferred into His Kingdom through the virtue of my salvation, and I reign with Christ. Blessed be God!
