COVENANT PARTNERSHIP WITH CHRIST JESUS
Category : Gird Up , Uncategorized
We as believers, a chosen remnant in Christ Jesus, have a covenant bond and partnership with Him, and are seated together with Him in heavenly places.
There are those who are still dead in their trespasses and sins. But not us! As born again believers, we have been resurrected (raised up) in the spiritual realm far above all principalities and powers, through the glorious power of Christ Jesus.
What a wonderful joy to know that we are seated with Christ Jesus as He is seated at the right hand of Father God. We must be reminded of the fact, however, that it is not because we have been so good. The Bible reminds us…”not by works lest any man or woman should boast.” Our seating and covenant partnership is due to the undeserved favor and the amazing grace of God when He called us unto Himself.
Some answered the call to come unto His rest, some didn’t, and perhaps and hopefully some not as yet!!! Father God is omniscient (all knowing). He knows who will and who won’t. I pray that the latter choice will not be for any of us reading this blog! Allow this to sink in (Selah)!
We, who were once caught up in trespasses and sins and following all of the evil works of the prince of the power of the air (the devi), have now put away the carnality of our flesh to be made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
Think about it! We are seated with Christ Jesus at the banquet table to sit at His feet and be blessed while we are still down here on earth. We have access to the heavenly portals because of our right standing in Christ Jesus through His death on the Cross. We can come boldly to the throne of grace to find mercy to help us in the time of need.
We who are seated with Him are now wearing the new man in Christ Jesus to do His bidding. For the Bible says we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works to the glory of the Lord now and in ages to come.
What is His bidding? Simply put…it is whatever Jesus requires of us to fulfill the destiny for which we were created including to share the glorious gospel of Christ Jesus to a lost and dying world.
I hope and pray that your 2018 will be filled with drawing even more closer to Christ Jesus and to redeem any time lost due to distractions, trials and tribulations of 2017. May you have a Happy New Year!
And raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:6) (NKJV)
And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience (Ephesian 2:1-3)
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10)
PRAYER!
Father God, in heaven, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, we thank You for Your unmerited favor that You have bestowed upon every born again believer. We thank You that we have access to Your heavenly portals through the blood of Your Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, shed on the Cross of Calvary. I thank You that this access allows us to be seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus in the spiritual realm while still living down here on earth. What a joy and a privilege to know that we don’t have to wait until we get to heaven to experience heavenly joy, peace, covenant partnership, and access and with the gifts bestowed because of this privilege. We thank You that we can experience it right now in this earthly realm, in Christ Jesus name we pray, Amen!
