SUPERLATIVE POSSIBILITIES - PART 4

MONDAY 26 AUGUST 2024

Another superlative possibility I want to shed light on - is our position with Christ. Colossians 3:1 reads, "Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God" (NIV). When I consider the truth that I'm seated with Christ at God's right hand, such a distinguished and advantageous disposition gives me a lot of goosebumps.

This is why I reason with a "far above" turn of mind, bearing in mind that all powers have been subjected to the Lord Jesus Christ, due to His risen status, and by virtue of my union with Christ, who is the head over all creation, and over every ruler and authority, I am eminently complete in Him in the highest realm of glory, More below!

Reference: Matthew 19:26 New International Version (NIV)

'Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."'

The Bible says, "God raised Jesus from the dead..." (Romans 8:11 NCV). No one else raised Christ from the dead, except the power of God, for with God all things are possible. So Christ did not raise Himself from the dead because He did not give Himself as a gift to the world; God gave Him to the world. This profound verity is found in John 3:16, which reads, "For this is how God loved the world: He gave His one and only Son..." (NLT).

To a noticeable degree, Pauline epistolary expression numbered as Ephesians 1:19-21 NLT reads: 

"I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now He is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come."

Beloved, take the time to cogitate on this revelatory insight with ardent alacrity, because it will definitely enlighten your mind, convince your conscience, revive your understanding and also revitalize your spirit as per heightened level of our position with Christ and in Christ. To me, it's the governing part of the superlative influence I have obtained in Christ Jesus. I am seated with Christ in the place of honour at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. And in this present moment, "together with Christ", I function far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else - not only in this world but also in the world to come.

Romans 6:5 reads, "If we have become one with Christ in His death, we will be one with Him in being raised from the dead to new life" (NLV). Child of the Most high, have you ever understood who you are in inextricable oneness with, as well as, having a joint-sitting with? Beloved, I don't know about you, but I am seated with the everlasting King of glory; a verity that translates to the assurance that I am characterized as a superior force in the heavenly realms on account of my supreme and unending concord with Christ. To comprehend how superlatively and supernaturally powerful this revelatory insight is, I encourage you to ponder the entities of the Godhead concentrated upon our oneness with the Son. Why? The reason for this is to discover who you truly are on earth.

There is only one true God in the heavens who revealed Himself as Father to us in Christ, by coding His glorious essence in the Son in human flesh, and also by sending us the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of Christ. To that effect, Pauline epistolary expression reads, "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity dwells in bodily form" (Colossians 2:9 NIV).

In other words, in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. Now watch this: This fullness entails God the Father, and the Holy Spirit. To that effect, if you are in union with Christ, you have been made complete in Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.…which is in accordance with the versified statement numbered as Colossians 2:10 (NLT). This implies that our completeness is based on the entirety of our indwelling fullness of God.

Explicitly, my highly concentrated effort on the Son is because - in Him lies the mystery of the Godhead (see Colossians 2:2 NIV). However, when you understand that this overwhelming mystery embedded in Pauline versified statement known as "Christ in you", equally denotes that the presence of trinity ingrained in the realm of divinity - is fully resident in you, you'll be aptly ignited in your spirit, thereby demonstrating unco courage and boldness of the Spirit in your world at all times.

Question: Are you really born again? If so, indeed, you are superior to the world at large, for He that is in you, is far greater than He that is in the world (1st John 4:4 NIV). Therefore, never take your true identity in Christ for granted anywhere you vividly emerge on planet earth. Stay tuned for part 5. Shalom!

Scripture Reading - Romans 16:25; 1 John 2:13; 1 John 4:6; 1 John 5:4-5.

Guided Prayer:

I acknowledge without reservation, that I am a supreme, superior, superlative and higher-ranking force on earth due to my active and expressive association with Supreme Deity. Truly, although I am not of this world, I am an extraordinary, peculiar and most prized treasure on earth, and I'm supremely engulfed in the light of divine perspective, as I live and function in all-powerful Christ. Hallelujah!
