Continuation..... These three things tell us of Our Position, Our Origin and Our Assignment. To go back and define the terminologies used. Accredited: - The definition of Accredited is, “being officially recognized or authorized”, We are officially recognized by Heaven through Christ Jesus and we have the authority of heaven. “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, Phil 3:20 and “And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Matt 16:19 Our Position From the writings of Paul we are positioned in Christ Jesus, for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring. Act 17:28. Your position is in Christ Jesus. This aspects is revealed from the words of John and Jesus “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: John 1:12. “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.” John 15:4. Our source is Christ Jesus the Authority we exhibit is through Jesus on our own we are powerless. From the Life of Jesus we see He understood his Position, even when tempted by the devil in the wilderness He stood in His position, “Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:3-4. In every aspect of our lives here on earth we need to remember our position is in Jesus “even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:5-7 You and I are officially recognized and Authorized by Heaven to execute the works of God on Earth.... to be continued
