Beloved,
FOCUS: Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:20).
I found out from the scripture that it is not enough for me just to believe in God. In fact that does not make me different from the devil (James 2:19). My true believe is reflected in how much I love and serve God (Hebrew 11:6). I also found out it is not enough for me to know who God is. It is also crucial for me to know who I am in him, if I am to fulfill my purpose on earth. Eve knew God but did not know she was in God. That was the basis on which she was deceived; she wanted to be who she already was (Genesis 3:4-6). Unless we consciously seek to find out who we are, and double down on living that way, the enemy shall continue to lord things over us. They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes (Psalms 82:5-7). If we know who we are in God, we do not die like men. True! You shall not die like men, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Now this is for the person that has accepted Jesus into his/her life. If you have not, you have the opportunity to do that right away. When you are born again, you are no more a citizen of this world. You are from heaven, just like Jesus. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world (John 17:16). When we know that and work in the consciousness of it, we stay above the things that control the world system. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2). You have been made free from the law of sin, failure, sickness, misfortune and lack because you are from above. I am not really interested in knowing your experience. Tell me who you are. We are from above, and we are above all. We are above sudden death. We are above destruction. We are above disappointment. We are above sickness and disease. We are above dishonor. We sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, far above where the devil can operate. Hallelujah! Can you receive this? You are from above (John 3:31). Friend, The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all (Psalms 103:19). That is where we belong.
An ambassador lives according to the place he came from. The fact that the ambassador of USA is in Nigeria, does not make him a Nigerian. The consciousness of where he came, makes him live in line with the system of America, not Nigeria. Therefore, If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth (Colossians 3:1-2). When we do that, we live according to the law of the spirit of life in Christ, and so remain free from the law of sin and death. The laws that control the economy of this world has no hold on us. Yes, we live above their law. When darkness covers people around us, we stay free (Isaiah 60:1-2). Hallelujah! This is your portion in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Ambassadors have access to the power of the home country. If we live our lives as ambassador, we have access to the powers of heaven. The Bible says we taste the powers of the world to come (Hebrews 6:5). The same power that would keep eternity becomes operational in us. This is why Jesus could enter the house even when the doors were locked (John 20:26). Yes, Philip was transported by the Holy Spirit to another place in the twinkle of an eye (Acts 8:39-40). Talk of the power of the world to come! This is available now. It is called eternal life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God(1 John 5:13). This is a great news. We have eternal life, NOW. As God is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). You are unstoppable from now on in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
When we know who we are, and are conscious of it, it becomes easy for us to hear from God (John 10:16). It simplifies manifestation of the gift of the Spirit (Mark 16:17). It becomes easy to scoop wisdom from above to work for us (Luke 7:35), and the resources of heaven are cheaply available to us (1 Corinthians 3:21). You and I are ambassadors from heaven. Our lives are heavenly; our protection is from above and our resources are limitless. We are freed from the corruption that is in this life (2 Peters 1:3-4).
From now on, we shall live who we are and shall not suffer or die like men in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring (Acts 17:28).
Shalom
