Text: Ephesians 2:6
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
The original position of every genuine believer is too high to be reached by the devil. This Satan doesn't want you to know so that he can use your ignorance against you.
The bible says God has made you sit together with Him in Heavenly places in Christ.
How did you get to the position of sitting right beside God? Let's see how the scriptures put it.
Note the words 'in Christ Jesus' in the above passage.
As a Christian, you are in Christ Jesus. You went with Him everywhere He went.
Ephesians 1:20-22 say 'Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,'
You were in Jesus in his suffering. You were in him in the grave. So when God came to raise Jesus from the dead, He raised you with him. When He took Jesus to heaven, He took you there with him. When He set him at His right hand, He set you there with Jesus.
How high is the heavenly places where Jesus is? Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
How high is your location? It is as high as where Jesus is because you are in him where he is.
The bible also says that God put all things under Jesus feet. If I am seated with Jesus at God's right hand in heavenly places, it therefore implies that my feet are where Jesus feet are. Everything under Jesus feet is also under my feet without any exception.
That is your spiritual status.
To consummate this spiritual reality in the physical world, God makes a provision in the latter part of Ephesians 1:22.
'.....and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,'.
We are the church, the body of Christ. Jesus is the Head and believers are his body. The head of a living man can't be in a separate place from where the body is.
Jesus is sitting at the right side of God in heaven; we are there together because we are his body.
We are living here on earth; Jesus is here with us because he is our head. We are inseparable.
Let the devil craw around seeking whom to devour. That prey can never be me. Why? Because the eyes to see is at my head. Jesus sees him and knows how to handle him.
This is the reality I live in. This is a reality every believer should live in.
My prayer for you today:
I pray that every earthly weight weighing you down and hindering you from going up and growing up spiritually be removed in Jesus name Amen.
Scripture meditation for the day:
Colossians 3:1-4
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
God bless you.
