The Daily Word of Righteousness
Three Works of Grace, #13
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. (Ephesians 2:22)
The third work of grace emphasizes the Booth. In order to be a part of man the individual must understand that his personality, especially his body, is not his own possession. His personality belongs to God to be used for God's purpose. God purpose is to dwell in the human personality, to be the supreme Lord thereof.
We cannot govern our own personality, we cannot sit on the throne of our own life, until we are one with God.
The throne of the life of each person was designed to be the throne of God, of the Lamb, and of the individual. As long as the person reigns supreme on the throne of his life he is in slavery to Satan and sin. When he invites the Lord Jesus to enter his personality and be Lord thereof, the Lord prepares him to be the throne of God.
When God and the Lamb are perfectly in control of the personality, then the believer is invited to sit with Them on the throne of his own life. Such perfect rulership and rest mark the omega of redemption.
Man was created to be the throne of God and the Lamb and to govern all the works of God's hands, but only as he or she has become an eternal part of God and the Lamb.
In order to attain perfect rulership and rest the individual must open the everlasting doors of his personality to the Lord Jesus, who is the Lord of Glory, the Lord of Armies. He must dine with the Lord on the body and blood of the Lord. Then, through the body and blood of the Lord, he must overcome all worldliness, all of the passions of the flesh, and all of the rebellious self-will that fills his soul.
Attaining the throne of one's own personality is discussed in the following passage:
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 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 3:20,21)
The Altar, the Lampstand, and the Booth. The Booth portrays the desire of God to find His rest in the sons whom He is bringing forth, and ultimately in every saved person.
