[TREM Devotional 2 March 2020] Topic: Take Yourself Out Of The Other 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 KJV
Many believers allow their lives to be hung up on their background. You see, whenever you are seeing any believer succeeding, know he has taken himself from the other kingdom into the real Kingdom; the Kingdom of God. The challenge with many believers is that at times they straddle the fence – they want to stay in the Kingdom of God and also want to stay in the kingdom of the world. It doesn’t work that way. In the book of Colossians 1:13, the Bible says we have been “…delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the Kingdom of His dear Son. You are now in the Kingdom! This Kingdom is unshakable. It is the Kingdom where the Word of God rules and where the Word of God is, there is power.
In this Kingdom you now belong, there is no limitation. Doctors can be limited but where you belong there is no limitation. The God you serve can overrule doctor’s reports. He knows how to overrule age barriers. He can overrule any complication because He is God. In Christ, we have been made partakers of His inheritance. So, don’t doubt God.
As a citizen of the Kingdom, you have a goodly heritage. So, if there was no success in that location before you arrived; because you have a goodly heritage, you will succeed. That is the way you should see yourself. That is the way the Lord fashioned it. He says you are the light of the world and you are the salt of the earth. In other words, you are a way maker. You show others how it is done because in your Kingdom you know how things are to be done.
Even when adversity strikes, you know your heritage. You know that all things work together for your good because you love God and you are the called according to a purpose. Others may be shouting and wallowing in confused pits, but you know that God will turn things around for you, so you stand tall in the face of adversity and you will surely succeed.
