Culture of Righteous Rule
Today’s Focus: Destined to Rule
Scripture: Genesis 1:26; Hebrews 1:10-12; 2:5; Revelation 21:1
Greetings Kingdom Citizens
When we talk about righteous rule we are talking about the central purpose in being deployed to the earth. If we are in the image and after the likeness of the Father then like our Father, we are born to rule. Now rulership is not some free-will and oppressing attribute. Our rulership is constrained because we as the sons are constrained to the Will of the Father. God sends Holy Spirit to lead and guide us and we are to do whatever we hear and see the Father do. This means we walk in truth and in spirit and bring the rulership of God from Heaven to the Earth. Now God gave us the earth to rule in.
Genesis 1:26: Let us make man in our image (spirit), after our likeness (character) and let them have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth on the earth.
So God has placed His sons in the Earth bring the rulership of God (dominion) from Heaven to Earth. We have dominion in the earth. The environment in the Earth that we are to have dominion is one that was set up and controlled from the very beginning.
Hebrews 1:10-12: And Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: They shall perish; but thou remainst; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; and as a vesture shalt thou fold them up and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
In the beginning the foundation of the earth was made by the Lord and everything in it was for our benefit and use. God made things in the earth to represent eternal truths about Him. A great example is how animals migrate season to season. This is a great example of how we need to learn to migrate from season to season in the grace of the Lord. Now the thing that God is doing and been doing since the day of the Lord, Jesus Christ is producing mature sons in the realm of time, that will establish the righteous order of rule in a eternal world to come. The reason God is doing it this way is to expunge sin so that sin cannot taint the new world to come. What is the new world to come:
Revelation 21:1: And I saw a New Heaven and New earth: for the first heaven and first earth were passed away and there was no more sea.
This new heaven and earth will not be subjected to angels but to mature Sons of God. “Hebrews 2:5: For unto the angels hath HE NOT PUT IN SUBJECTION THE WORLD TO COME WHEREOF WE SPEAK.” The new world will be borderless insomuch that it will have it’s operations of righteous rule in the heavens and earth. We as the sons of God are destined to rule but we must first come in the maturity of Christ
Now we have talked about the world to come, what about this world? We will discuss this in the next message.
Peace, Love and Grace from the Father,
