The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Rest of God, #21
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. (Psalms 2:8)
The current teaching that we are to employ "faith" in order to get what we want from the Lord is the opposite of the Kingdom of God. The "faith message" is of the False Prophet because it arises from the human soul and has our pleasure, not the Lord's pleasure, as its purpose. Yet numerous Christians have been caught up in this misconception.
Much suffering must be poured on the Christian believers in order to destroy these erroneous concepts. Even then a multitude of believers will grow cold, joining the swelling ranks of the nauseating Laodiceans.
God informed the Israelites precisely what their land of promise was, what its boundaries were. It was a large part of what is referred to today as the Middle East.
God has informed us Christians precisely what our land of promise is. To the Lord Jesus Christ has been given the nations and the farthest reaches of the earth. The saints are co-heirs with Christ. Our inheritance and His are the same. Our inheritance is not separate from that of the Lord Jesus.
The inheritance of the Lord Jesus Christ includes all things in the heavens and upon 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)
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 3:22,23)
Thou hast put all things in subjection under his [man's] 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 2:8)
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. (Revelation 3:21)
He that overcometh [overcomes all that would seek to keep him from doing God's will] shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. (Revelation 21:7)
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. What existed before that we do not know except that it probably was spiritual in nature. But now there is a material universe of substance and form.
Man was created in the material universe in order to inhabit it and rule it. The first "man," as God intends man to be, was Christ. Adam and Eve were the source of all flesh-and-bone human bodies. However, the first Person to appear in God's image, the first Individual capable of assuming the authority designated by the Scriptures to "man," is the Lord Jesus.
The material universe is not evil, neither is it the home of Satan. Satan and his angels are of the spiritual world, not of the material universe. They successfully have invaded the material universe, corrupting it beyond belief. Nevertheless it is the intention of the God of Heaven that the material realm exist and that it be inhabited and governed by "man."
To be continued.
