“all things are yours” 2Corinthians 3:21.
LIGHT FOR THE NOW: The Name of Jesus represents everything that He is.
The death of Jesus has accomplished quite a lot for us as
believers. He died for us, that we might have life. He was buried, and God
raised Him from the dead, so that we might be raised together with Him (Romans
6:3-4). Now, He is seated in the heavenly places, in the place of power and the
Bible says that we are seated together with Him. Therefore, we are seated in
the place of power and authority. Yes, we may be here on earth, but our power
and authority comes from heaven. This is the reality that God wants us to
embrace and apply in our daily lives. The implication of our position in Christ
Jesus is that we use His Name, we have His Name, and we live in His Name. His
Name is exactly the same power that He has as a person. The Name of Jesus
represents everything that He is. However, there are many Christians who do not
understand that they have been given all the power and authority. They are ones
who pray for things. But praying for material things from God is not just a
waste of time but also an insult to God. This is because He gave you His Name,
and you are a joint-heir with Him. This means that you are a co-owner of the
world with Him. So why should you pray for what is already yours?
Our text for today clearly shows us that all things are ours.
God has given us everything. But if you are still looking at your
circumstances, you will still be thinking of how to pray and convince God to
grant your desires. But, how can you convince someone to give you anything who
already gave you everything including the Kingdom? Yes, God has already given
us Himself, how much more wouldn’t He give us everything including the Kingdom?
He said in Luke 12:32, “Fear not, little flock; for it is your
Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom”; and He has done that
already. What is required of us now as believers in Christ is to function on
Christ’s behalf. Yes! We are His ambassadors. He gave you His life and His Name
and His Name represents all that He is and owns. Therefore, you must take your
place of dominion, reigning and ruling with Him. He is a King and He has raised
us Kings unto Himself. A king does not beg. God does not want you begging Him;
that is why He made all things yours.
INSTRUCTION:Appropriate all that the Name of
Jesus has accomplished for you.
PRAYER:I am what God says I am, I have all
He says I have, and all can do all things in His Name, Amen.
QUOTE:Kings don’t beg.
