Topic : Living In God’s Love.
Memory Verse :
John 17:23. You live fully in me and now I live fully in them so that they will experience perfect unity, and the world will be convinced that you have sent me, for they will see that you love each one of them with the same passionate love that you have for me.
Bible Reading : John 17:20-22 TPT. Key Verse : v21.
“And I ask not only for these disciples, but also for all those who will one day believe in me through their message. I pray for them all to be joined together as one even as you and I, Father, are joined together as one. I pray for them to become one with us so that the world will recognize that you sent me. For the very glory you have given to me I have given them so that they will be joined together as one and experience the same unity that we enjoy.
By this time Jesus Christ was rounding up his earthly ministry. Therefore he began to prepare the disciples for what lay ahead of them in a life without his physical presence. Now in this chapter seventeen of John he prayed one of the most heartfelt prayer that shaped our relationship with the God head. If you look at Christianity around the world, you will observe that the prayers he made to God in this chapter is at work. We need to study this prayer of this chapter and as to do everything possible to live our Christian lives anchored on the reliable answers to this prayers which began to manifest in the lives of the disciples in full measure from the day of pentecost when God came down from heaven to live in man permanently. “Then all at once a pillar of fire appeared before their eyes. It separated into tongues of fire that engulfed each one of them. They were all filled and equipped with the Holy Spirit and were inspired to speak in tongues—empowered by the Spirit to speak in languages they had never learned!” Acts 2:3-4.
In his prayer to the father, Jesus made specific requests we must live in the consciousness of daily to make our earthly lives worthwhile. The first thing I want us to realise here is that all he requested from the father here was for everyone that will ever believe in his name till he returns. Now, observe here that Jesus specifically desired that we live a life of union with the God head. Just the way the father, son and Spirit are one, we became the fourth personality in the union. This union is what qualified us to carry his glory here on earth. That is the primary reason the Holy Spirit is given to us as a mark or seal of ownership. He is the carrier of the glory of God that beautifies the lives of men on earth. “But God still loved us with such great love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy. Even when we were dead and doomed in our many sins, he united us into the very life of Christ and saved us by his wonderful grace! He raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with him into the glorious perfection and authority of the heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as one with Christ!” Ephesians 2:4-6.
“So with deep love, I pray for my disciples. I’m not asking on behalf of the unbelieving world, but for those who belong to you, those you have given me. For all who belong to me now belong to you. And all who belong to you now belong to me as well, and my glory is revealed through their surrendered lives. “Holy Father, I am about to leave this world to return and be with you, but my disciples will remain here. So I ask that by the power of your name, protect each one that you have given me, and watch over them so that they will be united as one, even as we are one.” John 17:9-11. On a final note today, I want us to realise that we are not without protection, no matter the level of wickedness that operate in our world. Jesus asked the father to keep us from the evil one and his wicked forces working with him. Specifically he asked that his name should be our defense. That is the reason we bear his name as family members. At his name every knee bows. “From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.” Psalms 61:2-4 KJV. See Proverbs 18:10.
Prayer : Thank you Lord Jesus for all you have done for me. Thank you for your love that is deeper than any explanations. Thank you for making me one with you. Thank you for your protection over my life and all that belongs to me in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.
