The Daily Word of Righteousness

Canaan, continued

He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. (I John 2:2—NIV)

Christ purchased the nations by His death on the cross. Every human being belongs to Him. The earth is the Lord's with all its resources. He and we will never deed the earth over to Satan. It all belongs to Christ and us. With God's help we shall press forward until all the riches of the earth are ours and Satan is nowhere to be seen.

We have to fight to gain that which God promised us from the foundation of the world.

We have to fight to enter the Sabbath rest of God, the place in God where His greatest desires for us are our greatest desires, where we delight to do His will.

We have to fight to take back the earth from the thief who stole it from us.

We shall overcome Him by the blood of the Lamb, by the word of our testimony that God is true, and by loving not our life to the death.

To Have Christ Formed and Dwelling in Us

I will also give him the morning star. (Revelation 2:28—NIV)

The Lord Jesus Christ is the bright morning Star. Satan also is a day star but the new day he is announcing is filled with moral horrors and endless torment.

If we will patiently obey the commandments of Christ and His Apostles, and also glean the valuable instructions of the Old Testament, the Day Star, Christ, will rise in our heart. His rising in us announces the new day of the Kingdom of God. Christ's new day will be filled with all that is righteous; all that is holy; all that is desirable, wonderful, joyous.

We in our adamic state are not able to inherit the earth and its nations. We never could govern and bless them as God wants them governed and blessed. We must have the Day Star, Christ formed in us and dwelling in us, if we are to inherit the nations of the earth.

Jezebel represents the worldly spirit, the partying spirit, eating, drinking, and making merry. Those who are willing to turn aside from the worldliness of Jezebel will inherit all that is desirable in the world and then will make new in Christ every aspect of their inheritance.

Perfect union with Christ.

The authority and power to rule in Christ over our circumstances.

Freedom from the fear of being tormented by the Divine judgment.

Daily provision for the saint who is fighting the good fight of faith.

A new creation with a new name.

And now the nations and the farthest reaches of the earth as our inheritance.

Let's press forward.

To Be a Member of the Royal Priesthood

Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. . . . (Revelation 3:4,5—NIV)

To walk with the Lord Jesus Christ in white means the person is a member of the royal priesthood. Each member of God's elect has been called to be part of God's Israel, of the royal priesthood. One of the desirable features of being part of the royal priesthood is that we will be raised from among the dead at the coming of the Lord.

To be continued.
