KEY SCRIPTURE: John 14:20 KJV At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

The Lord spoke about a particular day in which the disciples would know that the Son is in the Father, and the disciples are also in the son, and the Son is in them. This is a real mystery. This is why Christianity is unique from other religions. Religions have the followers separate from their deity. They strive to meet the demands of their deity. In Christianity our God lives in us, and we likewise live in Him. The closest of the religions to Christianity is the African traditional religion in which the gods or spirits of the gods live in their subjects, but they do not live in their gods. There is no forgiveness for them, when they break the rules of their gods. To be accepted one more time, they would have to make sacrifices to pacify their gods. In Christianity we come under a principle called grace. It is a favour that our heavenly Father expresses towards us, as a result of the eternal redemption established for us by our Lord Jesus. Heb 9:12 KJV “Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.”

The state of the child of God is a very privileged one. If most children of God should come to terms with where we are located in the Spirit, and as a result the kind of beings that we are, our level of impact and the manifestation of the glory of God would be very high, like our Lord Jesus demonstrated, when He was here. Just consider a statement God reveals about the believer. Eph 3:10 KJV “To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,” the verse says God has honoured and raised the believer’s spiritual state to such a level that , the believer or believers are to make known to the principalities the many sided wisdom of God. I find it very intriguing when certain idol worshippers threaten to destroy Christians.

The truth is that certain Christians have ever suffered under the assault of such situations. The question is, what causes such brethren to come under their assault. When the believer does not walk in the light. Usually when he walks in sin. The other stronger principle that makes the Christian vulnerable, is when he or she does not live by the principle of a crucified life. In this state the child of God sees himself as crucified with Christ. His life is sold out to Christ. Every battle he faces is the Lord’s battle. Such a person cannot be destroyed by any evil power. The banner over him is Christ, and that is what any spirit who matches against him would face.

Dear child of God, may we stop living for ourselves, and rather surrender our lives totally to Jesus.

THOUGHT: GOD HAS SHOWN US MERCY, AND WE MUST BE LOST IN HIM TO REALLY EXPERIENCE HIM.
