Morning Devotional For Saturday 28th April - Edoman - 04-28-2018
RHAPSODY OF REALITIES
SATURDAY, 28TH APRIL.
Pastor Chris
TOPIC ✨ Look Beyond This World ✨
That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:7).
The Bible says, “If our hope in Christ is good for this life only and no more, then we deserve more pity than anyone else in all the world” (1 Corinthians 15:19 GNB). If all there is, all we do, and all we live for is about this world, then that’s a hopeless and wasted life. Life on earth isn’t the end result; we’re here for a reason: to be trained for the life hereafter. Life in eternity is what counts.
How we live here on earth as Christians will determine the life we’ll have or enjoy when we get to Heaven and the ages to come. The reason is that the life we live here on earth has a lot to do with your faith in God and His Word, and your knowledge and understanding of spiritual realities. The less understanding you have, the less effective you’ll be in the ages to come. So, our life here is to train us for that future, because God is going to give us great authority; we’ll reign and rule with Christ in the ages to come.
Recall the words of Jesus in Luke 19:17, to the faithful servant: “…thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.” Same way, if you’ve been faithful in that which the Lord has committed to your trust, He’ll commit more to your care, not only in this world, but in that which is to come. He’s going to bless you and give you authority over cities, nations, and territories.
Not everyone will run cities, nations, and territories in the world to come; it depends on your knowledge and understanding of the Word and the application of the same in the earth. It’s one of the reasons you must train and educate your spirit in the things of God; get enlightened in things pertaining to the Kingdom. Use your faith. Subdue nations, and dominate circumstances in this world, in readiness for the life of dominion in the world to come. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for teaching me the importance of setting my focus aright, and not allowing myself to be distracted by the deceits of this present world. I’m completely yielded to your Word and your Spirit; I rule and make conquests with the Word today, in readiness for higher responsibilities in the ages to come, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study:
Ephesians 3:20-21 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him [be] glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
1 Corinthians 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
Mark 10:29-30 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, 30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

I boldly affirm that I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I do not walk according to my senses, but according to the Spirit; for the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in me. I walk in the consciousness of my righteousness today. I acknowledge the precious Holy Spirit who lives in me; He is my Comforter, Counsellor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby. I am mightily helped of the Lord, and therefore confident that my progress, prosperity and advancement is evident. God is at work in me; carrying out His purpose in me, doing superabundantly, far over and above, and infinitely beyond my desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams. He is mightily at work in me, both to will and to do His good pleasure and delight. I am guided by His Word, to fulfil His purpose for my life. I am not ordinary; I have eternal life in my spirit, because I’ve received Christ. Christ in me means glory in my life; it means divinity revealed and expressed in, and through me. I am the expression of the beauties and righteousness of Christ, bringing wholeness, sanity, and salvation to my world and the regions beyond. Glory to God! – See Video–
