Today's Focus: Reasons WHY you MUST always take up the POSITION of JESUS before God!
Many genuine Christians do not know God runs a spiritual JUDICIAL SYSTEM in dealing with us and our arch enemy, the Devil and all his demons and demon-driven human agents that come against us par time in Christ in this World. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
What shall we then say to these things? If God BE for us, WHO can be against us? He that spared NOT His own Son, but delivered him up for us all, HOW shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall LAY any thing to the CHARGE of God's elect? It is God that JUSTIFIES. Who is He that is condemned? It is CHRIST that died, yes rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also MAKES intercession for us. (Romans 8:31-34).
This mean that for you and I to win the BATTLE of LIFE or to overcome the enemy of our soul and success in Christ in this World which is Satan and all his demons and demon-driven human agents, we must take the POSITION of JESUS by FAITH before God always. True!
The Bible reveals that the POSITION of JESUS is:
1. A position of RIGHTEOUSNESS before God. This is because He was a sinner before the court of God on our behalf, has fully paid the price for our sin and God has declared Him RIGHTEOUS on our behalf in His final verdict. True!
2. A position of JUSTIFICATION before God. This is because He was condemned before the court of God on your behalf, has fully paid the price for our offence and God has declared Him JUSTIFIED on our behalf in His final verdict. True! (Romans 8:31-34).
3. A position of VICTORY before God. This is because He was defeated before the court of God on our behalf, has fully paid the price for our defeat and God has declared Him VICTORIOUS on our behalf in His final verdict. True, halleluyah! (Colossians 3:14,15).
The Bible reveals that though He was a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He SUFFERED; And being made perfect, He became the AUTHOR of eternal salvation unto ALL them that OBEY Him. (Hebrews 5:8,9; Isaiah 53; Hebrews 12:1-4).
Now, know and note that RECEIVING or taking the POSITION of JESUS before God in Heaven requires that you personally BELIEVE on Earth what He has done for you before the Court of God against the Devil, your accuser. True! (John 1:12; Romans 10:8-10; 1 John 5:4,5).
This is because God has designed it that for whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMES the World: and this is the VICTORY that overcomes the World, even our FAITH. Who is he that overcomes the World, but he that BELIEVE that Jesus is the Son of God? (1 John 5:4,5).
Therefore, the Bible calls out to you and I thus:
Seeing then that WE have a great HIGH PRIEST, that is passed into the heavens, JESUS the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. LET us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that WE may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:14-16).
JESUS is the one and only human name (vis-a-vis divine name), God has highly LFTED UP and given to any human being that will BELIEVE in Him on the Earth. True! (Philippians 3:9-11).
Therefore,
1. As you THINK on Earth, think with the mindset of taking the POSITION of JESUS before God in Heaven. Again, this is because God only recognises His position as the only one who has fully paid His due, that He the Father requested for the FREEDOM of any human being on Earth. True!
2. As you SPEAK on Earth, speak with the mindset of taking the POSITION of JESUS before God in Heaven. Again, this is because God only recognised His position as the only one who has fully paid His due, He the Father requested for the FREEDOM of any human being on Earth. True!
3. As you LIVE on Earth, live with the mindset of taking the POSITION of JESUS before God in Heaven. Again, this is because God only recognised His position as the only one who has fully paid His due, that He the Father requested for the FREEDOM of any human being on Earth. True!
The Bible reveals as HE is when He was on Earth physically, so are WE in this World currently. True! (1 John 4:17).
This is why Apostle Paul said thus:
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet NOT I, but Christ lives IN in me: and the life which I NOW live in the flesh I live BY the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and GAVE Himself for me. (Galatians 2:20; Philippians 4:13,19; Ephesians 2:5-10).
And counselled us to SET our mind on things above, not on things on the Earth. Likewise, Jesus taught us to PRAY down the things of Heaven (Will of God) down to Earth. (Colossians 3:1-4; Matthew 6:9,10).
That is why the Bible says that you shall KNOW the truth and the truth shall make you FREE. And Jesus Christ being the TRUTH of GOD, the Bible says further, if the Son therefore make you FREE, you shall be FREE indeed. Halleluyah! (John 8:32,36).
Again, that is why the Bible counsels you and I that WHATSOEVER you do in word or deed, DO all in the NAME of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him. (Colossians 3:17).
This is because JESUS is the only NAME in the record of the Court of God in Heaven that has fully paid His due for His sin on our behalf. True!
Now, if I may ask you, do you think, speak and DO everything each day in the name of Jesus as required by a genuine Child of God in Christ on Earth?
Or are you among many genuine Christians, who are so ashamed of talking or doing anything in the name of JESUS before people of the World?
If yes, then let me shock you with this. That is why many of your prayers are not answered and many of your needs are not met. True!
Jesus Christ undeniably said that if you deny Him before men on Earth, He will also do the same before His Father in Heaven. Hmm, this is scary. (Matthew 10:32,33).
That is why Apostle Paul boldly declared I am not ASHAMED of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto SALVATION to everyone that BELIEVE. Halleluyah! (Romans. 1:16).
Are you ashamed of JESUS in this World?
Are you ashamed of taking the POSITION of JESUS in this World?
Think about it and do something about it now, because not doing so, you will taking the position of defeat and failure in this World. No, don't, for we are sitted with him in the heavenly places far above principalities and powers. Halleluyah! (Matthew 7:24-27; Ephesians 1:15-23).
Today's Focus from Scripture:
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and NOT after Christ. For in Him dwells ALL the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And YOU are COMPLETE in Him, which is the Head of all principality and power: (Colossians 2:8-10; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6).
Take note, take heed!
Prayer Direction: According to today's revealed truth, pray as you are led by the Spirit of God.
God bless you.
