The Daily Word of Righteousness
God Upholds His Servant, #2
Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles [nations]; (Isaiah 42:5,6)
Notice how God Almighty asserts His sovereignty when speaking of the Personality and the work of His Servant:
God is the LORD ! He is the One who brings into existence the Servant and who guides and empowers the Servant in every aspect of personality and actions. God is the Lord, the Lord God Almighty, the Creator of Heaven and earth.
We Christians are not to be operating at the lower levels of fleshly striving as we attempt to bring about the Kingdom of God. If we will wait on God He will lead us into His program. In God there is no strife. We are to be as Isaac, a person of peace and laughter. We laugh joyously with God.
"He that created the heavens." God always creates the heavens first. The promise to Abraham is that His Seed will be as the stars of the heaven. God is Master of the heavens and He is bringing the members of the Body of Christ up to the thrones of spiritual dominion.
The Body of Christ must gain dominion over the spiritual powers of the heavenlies before it can gain dominion over the earth. God's will must be performed in the spirit realm before it can be done in the earth. The strong man must be bound before his house can be spoiled.
The Servant of the Lord has mastery over the heavens. Whatever the Church binds on the earth is bound in the heavens.
Then comes the earth. Christ plants the heavens and then lays the foundations of the earth. The promise to Abraham is that his Seed shall be as the "sand which is upon the sea shore." God created the earth, its peoples, and its resources. The earth and its peoples belong to God, not to Satan. "The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein" (Psalms 24:1).
The Lord God has determined that the Presence of His Christ shall fill not only the heavens (the "stars"), but also the earth (the "sand which is upon the sea shore"). Christ shall cause the will of God to be performed perfectly in the earth as well as in the heavens. The nations will learn righteousness, truth, and worship when Christ comes.
God possesses all power in the heavens and on the earth. God has given the fullness of His authority and power to Christ. Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords, both in the heavens and on the earth.
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power [authority] is given unto me in heaven and in earth. (Matthew 28:18)
When the Servant of the Lord, Christ—Head and Body, ministers through the Spirit of God performing the will of God, then all authority and power in Heaven and on the earth is supporting the effort.
To be continued.
