Rhapsody of Realities - Your Blood-bought Inheritance - 30/04/2015

Pastor Chris

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue (2 Peter 1:3).

When we talk about salvation, some people don't understand it; it's a big word. It encapsulates all the wonderful blessings resulting from the redemptive work of Christ: salvation, healing and divine health, success, freedom, liberty, preservation, etc.; they've all been paid for! They're yours now to enjoy! All the good things of life are all in the salvation package; the glorious life is your heritage. Prosperity with peace is your birthright.

Read the opening verse again; it says His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness. That's not a promise; it's a statement of fact, expressing what God has already done. In Christ Jesus, He's given you everything that you require for the transcendent life; they're all inside you. Christ in you is the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27), and Christ is everything.

Therefore, you're forever set up for the triumphant life. In Christ, you have it made; all things are yours (1 Corinthians 3:21)! This is what makes Christianity so awe-inspiring; the life that God has given you is the divine life, and everything you'll ever require to live joyfully and triumphantly, came with that life.

Remember this: Jesus shed His blood for you, being the only sinless one qualified to save us by His blood. Since He's already done it, all you need do is enjoy the benefits associated with His vicarious sacrifice. You have legal rights to possess everything salvation in Christ brings, for they're your blood-bought inheritance in Him: "In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will" (Ephesians 1:11).

CONFESSION

Christ lives in me; therefore, I'm made for life! His divine power has given me everything I require to live joyfully and victoriously every day! Success, prosperity, divine health, promotions and the glorious life are my blood-bought inheritance, and vital experience in Christ Jesus! I have a goodly heritage. Halleluiah.

Romans 8:32 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?

1 Corinthians 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;

Rhapsody of Realities - He Lives In You - 29/04/2015

Pastor Chris

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service (Romans 12:1).

Why does God require us to present our bodies as a living sacrifice? It's because He lives in your body. Your body is the temple of God; that's where He lives: "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" (1 Corinthians 3:16). If your body isn't presented to Him, He can't use it and the temple that He doesn't live in is an ordinary building; it's empty and void of glory.

Now, God is everywhere, but His manifested presence isn't everywhere. Just like electricity; when there's electrical power in a building, it doesn't function everywhere in the building. The electrical appliances won't function just because they're in the building; they'll have to be plugged into the power source. In the same vein, your physical body has to be yielded or submitted to God for Him to "perambulate" in you, as it were. This is the idea Paul gives us in 2 Corinthians 6:16; it says, "...for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them...."

"Walk" in the underlined phrase is the Greek word "emperipateo", which means "to perambulate"; to walk up and down the bounds of a property in a supervisory manner. God, through the Holy Spirit, perambulates in your body to keep it perfect against intruders, such as sickness, disease and infirmities; that's part of His work and ministry in your life, so give Him the liberty. Be yielded to Him to minister in you.

God needs you; He wants to talk through you, look through your eyes, walk in, and through you, and bless the world through you. He needs your body. He wants yielded vessels. The more you're yielded to Him, the more He'll be revealed in you. Let Him work through you, and carry out His divine plans through you.

CONFESSION

Every fibre of my being is fully yielded to the Lord to carry out His divine plans through me! I'm His living tabernacle! He talks through me, moves through me, and expresses His love and righteousness through me! My spirit, soul, and body are sanctified for His sacred use, and His glory is revealed more and more in me today and always, in Jesus' Name.

Further Study: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. ;

John 14:16-17 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Some of my thoughts... (Haarsha Balraj)

And if we are the vessels of God, shouldn't we always be true to ourselves? The soul's truth is God's truth. What happens when we don't listen to this truth? Do we try to live each day trying to be joyful, giving and loving yet inside we know we are living a lie and this lie kills us eventually? Of what value is it then, to not obey God's truth? For Jesus is life and resurrection - He lives in us, so why live in the dark when a beautiful truth lies wide awake in us? I choose light, and truth.
