RHAPSODY OF REALITIES TeeVo - ON THE SAME SEAT! - Monday, May 9th 2022

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES TeeVo Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc, DD Monday, May 9th 2022 ON THE SAME SEAT! (You’re Seated Where Christ Sits) 📖TO THE BIBLE Colossians 3:1 AMPC “If then you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.” ▶️LET’S TALK Jesus is seated at the right hand of God. The Bible doesn’t say, ‘He is seated at the right-hand side of God.’ The word ‘side’ wasn’t included in the statement, but that’s what some people think. The scripture says, “If then you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God” (Colossians 3:1 AMPC). When you call someone your right-hand man, you don’t mean he’s the man on your right-hand side. Rather, what it means is that he’s the man in whom you’ve vested your authority. It means you’ve given him permission to act for you; he has the power of attorney to act in your name. So, when the Bible says that Jesus is seated at the right hand of God, it means God has given Him authority over all creation. Hallelujah! Guess what? God has “…lifted us up from the grave into glory along with Christ, where we sit with him in the heavenly realms—all because of what Christ Jesus did” (Ephesians 2:6 TLB). We are occupying the same position of authority, with the power of attorney to act in God’s stead. Hallelujah! ▶️ GO DEEPER: 1 Corinthians 15:20-24, Philippians 2:9-11 🗣 SPEAK I was raised together with Christ, and I’m seated with Him in the heavenly realms now. I reign over every situation that comes my way today in the mighty Name of Jesus. 📚DAILY BIBLE READING: ONE YEAR ╚═══════╝ John 4:27-54, 1 Kings 2-3 TWO YEAR ╚═══════╝ Mark 9:2-13, Numbers 12 🎯Act: Thank the Lord for the authority you have in Him, and tell others about the authority that they can have in Christ Jesus.
