The Daily Word of Righteousness
Eagles' Wings, #16
Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. (I Corinthians 3:21-23)
What belongs to the saints? The world, life, death, things present, things to come.
We have been given all things in Christ. Now we are required to follow the Holy Spirit until we are able to possess all things, circumstances, and relationships without their becoming gods to us.
Numerous trainings and testings must be administered to a son of God before he is able to receive his inheritance, which is "all things."
Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. (Hebrews 2:7,8)
It is God's will that His sons inherit all things.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. (Revelation 21:7)
Everything imaginable has been bequeathed to the sons of God. But in order to maintain, develop, and perfect their inheritance, which is the world of things, they must live in victory in Jesus.
If we would be a son of God, if we would have God for our Father, if we would inherit all things, we must overcome Satan. We must walk in Jesus in victory each day. When we stumble we are to confess our sins and lawlessness to Jesus, receive His forgiveness and cleansing, and continue forward in restored fellowship.
It is only as we abide in Jesus each day that we are eligible to inherit God's creation.
Everything has been given to His sons by the Father. The Lord Jesus is the Firstborn among many brothers, many heirs of God. The Lord Jesus had to overcome Satan in order to receive His inheritance. We must overcome Satan in order to receive our inheritance. We are brought out of Egypt on eagles' wings, but we enter our inheritance, our land of promise, on our feet.
Our unique destiny. Each of God's elect, His holy ones, was chosen from the creation of the world. Each has a unique destiny, a place prepared for him or her.
And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father. (Matthew 20:23)
"For whom it is prepared of my Father."
From the beginning of the universe God prepared a place, or places, on the right hand and on the left hand of Christ.
This extremely exalted position is a gift to the chosen individuals.
But the question comes, "Are you able to drink from the same cup that I must drink? Are you able to be baptized with the baptism with which I must be baptized?"
And notice,
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10)
The good works that the elect are to perform have been prepared for them from the foundation of the world.
To be continued.
