A POSITION OF REST

Text: “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” Eph 2:6

It’s my sincere prayer that the eyes of your understanding will be enlightened afresh as we go through our lesson for today. Every statement in our opening verse today is loaded. The scripture clearly explains the position of a believer. The life of a believer is purely a life of faith. We function primarily by receiving God’s word and endorsing it as so.

God had made us to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. It does not matter where you are sitting right now; on a bed, on a chair or wherever. That is a physical sitting, but in the realm of the Spirit we are seated with Christ in the heavenly places. I want you to note that sitting is a position of rest. If someone comes to fight you it will require that you stand up and fight. There is a big difference between sitting, walking and running. We are sitting; we are not fighting. The fight of faith that God requires from us is from a position of rest. We are not fighting to win; we have won already. What we do in spiritual warfare is to enforce the reality of our victory.

The heavenly place is the description of where we are seated. We are physically on the earth but we are seated in heaven. Heaven is a place of triumph; it’s a place where defeat does not exist. We don’t have to wait until we get to heaven to experience all that heaven represent. We are in heaven already; the experiences should start from now. The ultimate purpose of God is that his will be established on the earth just as it’s done in heaven. We are the agents through which God works to establish heaven’s culture on the earth. It’s such an awesome privilege. As we share the gospel and live our lives in the gospel of Christ the dominion of heaven on earth is being established through us. I want to ask you to stop fighting and start resting; your battles are over. There is an eternal victory credited to your account at calvary. Please enjoy your victory today.

PRAYER:
I declare rest over my life today. I enter into God’s rest over my life today. Rest over all that has to do with me
