FAR ABOVE ALL RULE - PART 1

MONDAY 08 JULY 2024


I am introducing a new topic which has to do with living a life suitable to the rule of our faith in Christ. It is a matter of great honour when we profess this good profession, that we are highly ranked, far above all rule and authority - and we keep functioning within the lines of the empirical expressions, in order to ensure that all of the description is exerted and echoed in our earthly lives here and there, as well as every now and then. More below!

Reference: Ephesians 1:20-21 New International Version (NIV)

"...and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come."


Beloved, God raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. That's exactly the point made by apostle Paul in the above versified reference.


The Golden news is that our relation to this truth is not different from Christ's dignified status and divine awe in heaven. What do I mean by this? Friends, it is this same might and resurrection power that God used in the Anointed One to raise Him from the dead and to position Him at His right hand in heaven, that was used to raise us with Christ and to position us in Christ at the right hand of God in heaven. So just as there is nothing superior to Christ, there is nothing superior to you too. Just as He's above all rule, authority, power, and dominion; over every name invoked, over every title bestowed in this age and the next, so are you too. Got it?


When we hear and embrace this level of spiritual truth, we begin to understand what having a true Christian faith is. And it's not enough to accept it, we must speak it forth in our world and bring it to bear in our daily lives. In another way, as we accept it as true, we must reveal it as our true identity to the people of the world - by living accordingly. On earth, we are heavily influenced by the status of Christ in heaven, denoting that we are functioning in Him in the earth realm. Johannine literature in accordance with 1st John 4:9 (ESV) reads, "In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent His only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him."


So we bring this atmospheric approach and vibration to the world - in His own authority bequeathed to us, meaning that we boldly carry ourselves as possessing supreme power and ultimate authority in this present world and we demonstrate it to our world by exercising it in His name. Just as God has placed all things beneath the feet of Christ and anointed Him as the head over all things for His church, so have all things been placed beneath our feet, and so also, we function as the superior head, not the tail, because we are above only, seated with Christ at God's right hand in the heavenly realms - far above every rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. Stay tuned for the successive parts of this wonderful topic. Shalom!


Scripture Reading - Psalm 83:18; Luke 10:19; Ephesians 2:6; Titus 2:15.


Exuberant Declaration:

I function as the echo of my Master's authority on earth. His name is the Lord Jesus Christ, for in Him I live, move and demonstrate my superior being on earth. I thank God for being steadily higher and mightier than Satan and His minions, because in Christ Jesus, I have overcome him and the world, and this belief is frequently exercised in absolute dominion unto righteousness. Praise God!
