Christians are called to carry the presence of God like Jesus Christ. We are in union with Christ.
When the mystery of our union is fully established and revealed in his body, then shall this Scripture below be fulfilled.
“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.”
Revelation 11:15 KJV
When the Living Word abides in us and we abide in the living word, the union is operational.
Jesus came, went to the cross as us, died as us, buried as us, rose as us, ascended as us and now, living in us, working in us and now we are seated with him in the heavenly places, far above all powers and principalities. Glorious destiny!
“And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.”
John 17:11, 21 KJV
Glory! This is a direct invitation to join the divine conversation and we must agree with the truth that we are united with divinity in love, light and life, in the fellowship of joy and peace.
Therefore, we can say like Jesus “All that you have are mine and all that I have are yours”.
In Christ, we carry his nature, manifest his character to men. Here are the blessings available to us in Christ highlighted by Paul in Ephesians, Chapter One.
1. In him, we are blessed with all blessings in the heavenly places.
2. In Christ, we become ‘the chosen’ to join the divine conversation. Chosen to be holy, blameless and ‘ in love’ with Jesus Christ.
3. In him, we have been predestined to be an adopted mature Son of Yahweh in the book of God’s pleasurable will.
4. In Christ, we are accepted
5. In Christ, we are bought, paid for, redeemed and nothing else have any right or claim over us.
6. In Christ, God, through his rich grace forgave us all our sins. So technically, we have no sin problem but ignorant-attitude problem.
7. In him, we have obtained great inheritance. All that Jesus has is ours and all that we have is his. Amen.
8. When God’s plan is fully realized, everything else apart from God will be found in him so he can be ‘All in All'.
“Which is his body, the fulness of him that fillet all in all.”Ephesians 1:23
“For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.” 1 Corinthians 15:25-27 KJV
“That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:" Ephesians 1:10 KJV
