a peculiar kingdom
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God
Ephesians 2:19
Rhapsody of Realities Daily Devotional For Monday 22nd November 2021
We’re not of this world we’re the peculiar people of a heavenly Kingdom. Though we live in the earth, our citizenship—the Kingdom to which we belong and from which we operate—is in heaven. It’s a royal and glorious Kingdom of priests. You were born into that Kingdom the day you were born again (Colossians 1:12-13).
It doesn’t matter that you were diagnosed with an incurable hereditary disease. It makes no difference that you were said to have a chronic heart condition. Now that you’re born again, sickness is alien to your nature it’s an anomaly in our kingdom. Therefore, refuse to accept or accommodate it in your body.
Maybe your forbears died of a certain disease, and you’re told that’s how it’s been in your family. You now belong in a heavenly family, where Jesus is the head. You belong to a Kingdom where all things are possible and operates by the law of the Spirit of life. In this Kingdom, everyone is blessed and everything you do prospers our joy never ends. We rejoice in adversity.
In this eternal Kingdom, we don’t allow the things which are seen to determine and control the quality of our lives. We see and live by faith. We’re confident that whatever we see that we don’t like, is subject to change: “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal (subject to change) but the things which are not seen are eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:17-18). This is life in our Kingdom: we’re unmovable we’re in dominion. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. We’re forever victorious. Glory to God!
Confession
I belong in the Kingdom of light, a royal and glorious Kingdom of supermen, where sin, sickness, disease, depression, poverty, frustrations and everything associated with Satan and darkness are alien. I shine and reign gloriously by grace, through righteousness. My journey in life is upward and forward, to please the Lord in all things. Hallelujah!
