EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!
SUNDAY AUGUST 16, 2020.
SUBJECT : WE ARE COWORKERS WITH GOD!
Memory verse: "We then, as workers with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain.” (Second Corinthians 6 vs 1.)
READ: Second Corinthians 5 vs 20:
5:20: Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God we’re pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
INTIMATION:
The Christian is the representative of God to the world on behalf of the cross. It was through the early apostles and disciples that the message of reconciliation was first preached to the world. We are workers with Jesus Christ. It is in the realm of the recreated spirit that we become utterly one with Jesus Christ, and entered into the holy priesthood (First Peter 2 vs 9; Revelation 5 vs 10). You can be God's voice, His spokesman, His ambassador, His under-ruler, through the Word in your lips, in Jesus' Name. You become God's Will toward Satan ruled world through your prayer life. As coworkers with God through prayer; your spirit is contacting the Father. Your spirit is reaching other human spirits through the Father, and also connects to the spirit of other believers.
Therefore, in the spiritual exercise of prayer, we become so utterly ruled and governed by the Word and the Holy Spirit that we become masters of demons and of their works. The Word on our lips in prayers is the same as the Word on the lips of Christ. We cast out demons with the Word. We pray for sick folks and the diseases leave them. Weakness is destroyed by the strength of God. The very life of God flows out through our lips.
In First Corinthians 5 vs 4, the apostle Paul enumerated this revelation in relation to prayer, and our union with Christ in His work when he said, "In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,” The apostle Paul was telling the believers that when they gather together in their meeting that his spirit, and the Lord Jesus through the Holy Spirit will be with them in their deliberations.
Remember what Jesus said in John 7 vs 38 - 39, "On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If any one thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." Jesus, speaking to the Samaritan woman in John 4 vs 10, used the term "living water" to indicate eternal life. Jesus is speaking of the Holy Spirit's indwelling presence that comes from our inner life of prayer, and there gushes forth a torrent of the very life of God that speeds on its way to that who is in need.
The Holy Spirit is God's promise or guarantee of eternal life for those who believe in Him. It is that same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead that dwells in you, and that Spirit will also quicken your mortal bodies (Romans 8 vs 11). Our prayers bring the very presence of God upon men, and any circumstances, in any part of the world. In prayer we are cooperating with Him, and become ambassadors of Christ, ruling the demons and evil forces all over the world.
Prayer: Abba Father, thank You for making us kings and priests to reign on earth. Endue me with the excellent spirit of prayer, in communion with You, and working with other believers to rule the world with You, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.
PRAISE THE LORD!
