The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Necessary Orientation, #8
Because they lead my people astray, saying, "Peace," when there is no peace, and because, when a flimsy wall is built, they cover it with whitewash, therefore tell those who cover it with whitewash that it is going to fall. Rain will come in torrents, and I will send hailstones hurtling down, and violent winds will burst forth. When the wall collapses, will people not ask you, "Where is the whitewash you covered it with?" (Ezekiel 13:10-12—NIV)
If we begin to preach what the Bible states maybe the Christian people will be delivered from sin, and our country will not continue in the tragic condition of today. Maybe we need to build a wall against sin that will stand!
I think the Lord has told me He is going to restore righteous government in America in answer to our prayers. But He added that our nation will be punished severely because of the sin that is so widespread, such as the murder of babies that have come to birth only to be butchered. Believe me, their blood is crying to God from the ground—every one of them! And God is hearing!
I think we are going to be hit hard—very hard! It is time to repent. Can you say Amen?
Perhaps a hint of the Kingdom, of what we are going to inherit, is found in the following verse.
He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. (Revelation 21:7—NIV)
"Will inherit all this." All what? Probably all that has been described, starting in the first verse of Chapter Twenty-one.
So the overcomers, the sons of God, those who choose their life in Heaven rather than their life on earth, will inherit a new sky, a new earth, the new Jerusalem, nations of people to govern and bless. How marvelous! How utterly, stupendously marvelous!
You know what the best part is? It is that God is not making all new things but all things new.
This means everything we have known and loved on the earth that is worthy of being preserved for eternity, that will bring untroubled joy, will die and be raised again in Jesus Christ.
What a world, what an inheritance we have to look forward to!
Now why will we lose all this if we choose to live in the flesh?
It is because all of this inheritance would be totally ruined if one member of the sons of God, of the governing priesthood, were to be worldly, or lustful, or self-willed. One sinner found among the elect, as in the case of Achan, would introduce chaos into Paradise.
No, those who inherit the Kingdom will be those, and only those, who have overcome the old fleshly nature and have chosen to build their life in Heaven in Jesus Christ. Only these can be trusted to maintain Paradise once it has been regained.
Make sense to you?
Each of us Christians is choosing today, and each day following, what we will inherit in the Day of Resurrection. If we prove ourselves worthy of the Kingdom by refusing to yield to our old nature and by embracing our new life in the Lord Jesus Christ, we will inherit indescribable glory in the Day of Jesus Christ.
To be continued.
