PACIFIC KINGDOM - PART 9

THURSDAY 24 APRIL 2025

Ephesians 1:3 reads, "All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ" (NLT).

Indeed, we are supremely blessed in this pacific Kingdom because of Christ, not because of any man or angel, denoting that God is always pouring Himself out to us in Christ. As a result, there is a perpetual overflow of spiritual blessing coming from God to us, on account of our inextricable union with Christ. In the realm of gratitude, I specifically thank God for the bond and firmness of my union with Christ, and of a truth, nothing can separate me from Him. More below!

Reference: Hebrews 12:28 English Standard Version (ESV)

"Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, and offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship with reverence and awe."

I'm blessed with all spiritual blessing relating to pacific Kingdom, because I am joined unto the Lord, and those blessings are assembled in the name and authority of Christ. So all the blessing is the great fruit of my union to Christ, and the evidence of His nature and perfections, as well as His mind and will. 

Therefore, since we receive a Kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, and offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship. To that effect, Romans 12:1 reads, "And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all He has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind He will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship Him" (NLT).

This acceptable way to worship does not signify offering your physical body as a burnt offering to God, but ensuring that you please God with your bodily actions with a due obedience to His will, as it pertains to active faith demonstrations, resulting in reverence to God. So its more about actioning the principles that are enwrapped in the Pacific Kingdom, which reflect a spiritual service and life pleasing to the Lord.

Giving your bodies to God? This is no longer about the things that are unseen, such as man's godly thoughts, noble will, finest emotions, righteous desires, and cogitations based on doctrinal precepts, but rather the physical demonstration and manifestation of a man's service to God. Got it?

Your physical body is the only window you can open to "give plainly appropriate character" to your salvation and spiritual worship to God - in your earthly reality. By such, we please Him, because those your noble thoughts concerning spiritual things that are unseen can only become a practicality or lived out through your physical body, and you become supremely blessed in doing so.

I'm not talking about religious practices, but genuine Christian service and true worship which are visible and observable by sight, as in, your behavioural actions being a living and holy sacrifice to God in accordance with His will. Those bodily forms of action [although they are entirely conformable to abstract divine ideas, spiritual realities and godly perspectives you've gained by spiritual awakening, enlightenment and understanding] are overt acts of worship to God.

In summary, offering your bodies to God is based on practical way of functioning in the newness of life in Christ, which upholds a lifestyle of faithful commitment that denotes serving and worshipping God in spirit and in truth. Stay tuned for the final part of this topic. Shalom!
