FAR ABOVE ALL RULE - PART 2

TUESDAY 09 JULY 2024

I urge you to remember that being a born again Christian is not a matter of cogitating the realities of the Spirit in silent mode and walking solemnly with a cross. You must continually make bold and right confessions based on your faith because "with the mouth" confession is made unto salvation, and "with the heart" you believe and are justified, which means that your belief system is exercised, resulting in righteousness and glorious expressions. To that effect, Hebrews 10:23 (KJV) reads, "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; [for He is faithful that promised]." 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."

After God raised Christ from death, what happened next? He exalted Him by giving Him a name above every name that is named in this present world and in the age to come, and also seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion. What about the saints? Here is the greatest testimony of their Christian faith: "And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:6 NIV).

This versified statement numbered as Ephesians 2:6 candidly reveals that God raised us up together with Christ, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Who are "us"? The saints, which entail myself, and all other persons who have been saved by the special grace of God in Christ Jesus. Where are we seated with Christ? We are seated with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus. Now if, as a born again Christian, you have been omitting yourself from this revelatory experience, it's high time you changed your mind and perception. How do you start?

You start by believing it with all your heart and confessing it boldly. You can repeat after me: "I am seated with Christ at the right hand of God 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." As you speak it forth on a regular basis, your faculty of perception and reasoning will begin to align with this truth such that your imagination will start generating constant belief script, rumination and character based on your heavenly union with Christ in the spiritual realms.

Once your mind and spirit have aligned with the state of your "highly exalted" level and status in Christ Jesus, nothing in this present world can stop you from functioning by the force of unseen power that produces its realities as your personal experiences in real world, especially in your earthly activities and transactions with humanity. Therefore, being conscious of the noteworthy description embedded in this gospel truth will definitely speak out in your behavioural manifestations, from the standpoint of sufficient clarity. In other words, it will be evident for all to see, as you handle the affairs of your life on earth, characterwise.

Beloved, in my humble state of mind, I esteem it as a great favour to ponder how lofty I have become in Christ Jesus. In fact, I am short of English words to demonstrate my "highly exalted" level and status in Christ Jesus. Using the word "Lofty" is the least I can offer to say, and it literally means that my position in Christ is of vast imposing height. The position is overly supreme, superbly magnificent, exceptionally majestic and substantially supernatural; it is far beyond sky-high and sky-scraping immensity, and I give God the glory. Stay tuned for part 3. Shalom!

Guided Prayer:

Dear Father in heaven, I thank you for raising me up with Christ and setting Him at your right hand as the supreme Deity - with my precious self - in the joint sitting. It is a matter of praise and jubilation, and I profess it as a great profession in my world, in Jesus' Name, Amen!
