The Daily Word of Righteousness
One With God, #15
No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. (Revelation 22:3—NIV)
The Throne of God and of the Lamb will be located forever in the new Jerusalem, that is in the Church, the Bride of the Lamb, the new Jerusalem.
Think what this will mean to the saved nations of the earth! They will be able to come up to Jerusalem, to the holy mountain. There they will be able to approach God through the saints. They will be loved, blessed, and be able to receive eternal life.
There will be no more war and fighting or distress of any kind, because God in His Temple will be dwelling among men.
In the last days the mountain of the LORD's temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. (Isaiah 2:2—NIV)
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. (Revelation 21:4—NIV)
All of this blessing, glory, and beauty will become available to mankind only as you and I are willing to give up our own life and become a room in the eternal house of the Father.
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:20—NIV)
The church in Laodicea was the only church of the seven about which the Lord had nothing good to say. I personally believe we are approaching the age of Laodicea, the period during which the rights and welfare of people are seen to be the highest good, while God is important only as He promotes the well-being of people.
It is to this church of self-centered people that the Lord offers the grandest reward of all—that of being the eternal house of God.
Yet it is not only the house that is being offered, the very Throne of God is included.
To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. (Revelation 3:21—NIV)
When we invite the Lord into our personality we dine on His body and blood and He dines on our love and worship. The result is the Father and the Son come and set up Their throne in our heart.
As soon as we have granted the Father and the Son full, unhindered authority to sit on the throne of our heart, then They invite us to sit there with Them.
Thus he who overcomes, through Christ, trust in the world for survival and security, the passions of the flesh, and self-will, sits with Christ on His throne just as Christ sits with His Father on His throne. The Throne of Almighty God is within us, for man was created to govern all the works of God's hands.
You can be a part of this Kingdom if you care enough to seek it with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. (from One With God)
