Monday, February 16, 2009 ( you are double owned... ) "In Him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation - in Him when you believed - were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit. He is the down payment of our inheritance, for the redemption of the possession, to the praise of His glory." Eph1:13-14 When I was Papua New Guinea, they have a trandition; when you make something, you own it. Many of them survive on basic tools, like canoes, baskets, wooden houses etc. And most of them are handmade. So you make them, you own it. It is the same with our Creator King. In Col 1: 16 says" because by Him everything was created, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities - all things have been created through Him and for Him." All things have been created through Him and for Him!! we are FOR Him!! Our lives, actions, speeches are not for ourselves, or other people but for Him!! We belong to Him because we're made by Him. With our lives we ought to reflect His glory. However, due to the fall, we have all turned our backs on Him and make ourselves god. By His grace, bought us back again with His blood. Whatsmore, in the Ephesians passage above, we're SEALED with the promised Holy Spirit. Sealed in Greek has many meanings, in this context it is best interpreted as ownership. We have a mark of His ownership!! Living inside us. He owns us, bought us, and marked us. There is nothing in us that belongs to anyone else but Him. Therefore friends, let us live for Him, everything that is in us!!! my prayer is that we may together walk this journey with a goal of to "live is Christ and to die is gain". If it is to love, then love, if it is to forgive then forgive, if it is to endure then endure, if it is to fight, then fight, if it is to be molded to be more like Him, can a clay say to his potter how to be molded? Let all that we are shine His glory!! Friends, we are far richer than we think, such awesome eternal glorious inheritance, where we lack no spiritual blessings!!! What God has for us to finish this journey on earth is immesurable, more than we can ever ask or imagine!! Not only that, we have an "inheritance that is imperishable, uncorrupted, and unfading, kept in Heaven for us" 1 Pet1:4. What an awesome hope!! Hang in there bros and sis, continue to let your "work produced by faith, your labour prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Thess 1:3 live for Him, for we are double owned...
