RISEN, AND SEATED WITH CHRIST
Pastor Chris
If ye then be risen with
Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right
hand of God (Colossians 3:1).
When Jesus died on the Cross,
in the mind of justice, the whole world died with Him, because He died for all
men. However, Christianity didn’t start from His death, but from His
resurrection. When God raised Him from the dead, you were raised together with
Him, and you became a new creation, alive to God.
The new creation is the fruit
of His redemption (Romans 8:23). You’ve been brought out of death—spiritual
death—into life! You came alive with Christ; with His resurrection life.
Knowing that you’ve been raised together with Christ, and seated with Him in
the heavenly realms, the Bible says you should seek those things which are
above. Have the consciousness of one who’s seated together with Christ in the
place of dominion, glory and power. It’s a place where there’s no darkness, no
sickness, no defeat, and no pain; a place of absolute mastery and authority.
The Bible says Jesus is
seated at the right hand of God (the right hand of power). This means He has
authority over all creation; over all of heaven and earth. But guess what? God
has lifted us up into glory along with Christ. We sit with Him in the heavenly
realms of power, dominion, and majesty (Ephesians 2:6). We occupy the same
position of authority, with the power of attorney to act in His stead. What a
blessed reality!
PRAYER
What an awesome privilege to
sit together with Christ in the place of power, far above all principality, and
power, and might, and dominion, and every name that’s named, not only in this
world, but also in that which is to come! I function from a place of glory,
power, authority, and dominion, separated from the debilitating effects of sin,
corruption and darkness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
Ephesians 2:4-6;
But God, who is rich in
mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead
in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly
places in Christ Jesus:
Philippians 2:9-10;
Wherefore God also hath
highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven,
and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Colossians 3:1-3
If ye then be risen with
Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right
hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the
earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
