ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.
Tuesday February 20th, 2024.
Topic :The Legislative Right Of The Believer.
Memory Verse: Matthew 16:16 Simon Peter spoke up and said, “You are the Anointed One, the Son of the living God!”
Bible Reading :Matthew 16:17-19. Key Verse: v19.
Jesus replied, “You are favored and privileged Simeon, son of Jonah! For you didn’t discover this on your own, but my Father in heaven has supernaturally revealed it to you. I give you the name Peter, a stone. And this truth of who I am will be the bedrock foundation on which I will build my church—my legislative assembly, and the power of death will not be able to overpower it! I will give you the keys of heaven’s kingdom realm to forbid on earth that which is forbidden in heaven, and to release on earth that which is released in heaven.”
Before Jesus Christ was born, many prophecies had gone forth concerning his birth and earthly assignment. However, many didn’t recognise him because he wasn’t born in the palace of a king, but to a carpenter. To make it worse, the circumstances behind his birth wasn’t what they expected. The fact that he was born in a lowly manger didn’t help the whole situation. Even his own family and close people didn’t understand whom he was, they saw to be just like any of of them. Those men among them who honoured him thought that he was just a great Prophet, but he was just the Messiah (son of God), the one everyone had been expecting. “And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.” Luke 2:36-38 kJV.
Now, I want to explain the implications of what Jesus response to Peter for knowing accurately by revelation whom he was. King James called Peter and every other believer the (rock) living stone carved of the Rock of Ages himself. This means that we as believers bear the characteristics, DNA and nature of the rock that we came from. That’s the reason no weapon formed against you and me can ever prosper and we have what it takes to condemn any lesser power that rises against you in Judgement in any realm of spiritual wickedness. “Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him. For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.” Isaiah 51:1-3 KJV.
Another important point we need to pick from what the master said is that we believers are the governing council of heaven on earth. As divinely appointed legislators, we make laws or define the rules of engagement. Whatever we approve stands and becomes the authentic rules that must be obeyed by all and sundry. This means that whatever we agree on earth as God’s people, heaven will always allow to be done. When we disallow, we also enjoy the backing of our father. The book of Revelations sheds more light to this truth. “And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” Revelation 5:8-10 KJV.
Prayer :Thank you Father God for whom you are and whom you have made me in you. Thank you because I came from you. I worship you because I bear your nature and characteristics. Thank you for empowering me to rule my world just like yourself in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Numbers 14:5-45.
