DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  I CORINTHIANS 4:8

(8)  Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us:  and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

REIGN!

Grace be unto you!

Through the fantastic beauty of Jesus Christ, believers are heir of God, and joint-heirs with Jesus in the infinite times;  encouragingly, we are already qualified as dignitaries in the body of Christ, as kings and queens of heaven, marching forward towards the mark of salvation to reign with Jesus in his eternal kingdom;  on that note, our behavioral attitudes on the planet must change to reflect that of the sons and daughters of the throne of kingship;  therefore, my brothers, and sisters, be a kingdom mindedness person, as joint heirs with Christ, going forward, let us comport ourselves in his righteousness! 

Consequently, individual attitudes and behaviors of the past before we came to Jesus that is not good to live by after redeemed must change for the world to see that we are born again;  for the moment we receive the Holy Spirit, the life transformation begin, old habits are being made away so that the newer people yet to be revealed in the images of Christ our Redeemer, this process is through the lifetime of a believer;  therefore, we need to be patient with the Holy Spirit, listen to his counsels, turn away from the old ways, walk in his ways, it is more comfortable in the process, if we obey his words.

In that aspect, we cannot bring the same old habits, dragging them along into the newer selves;  a king or a queen with a kingdom mindset should behave his or herself likewise;  before we were redeemed, assumable we ate whatever food we wanted to eat, wore whatever outfits we desire to wear, and had the money to spent on material things of life; all these things are good to enjoy,  however, as dignitaries, we carefully choose our meals, wearing the right clothes, and spending our blessings wisely to include the poor, never be found in the midst of chaotic environments, full of evil works.

On the journey of a successful transformation, it has to be a new ball game, the things we used to indulge before redemption, now must be carefully thought of, to endeavor to do them;  at times, ask yourself, it this what Jesus will do?  If it is right for you to do it, by all means, go ahead child of God; for, Jesus wants you to be happy, enjoy life; just make sure that at the end of your days, you reign with him in infinite times.

Beloved, before redemption, we reigned in darkness, doing things by ourselves as we choose to do them, now that we have become the joint heirs with Christ, we are still reigners, but this time around, we are not alone by ourselves, but the Holy Fold is cheering us on to help us go through life in righteousness so that we can inherit the promise of joint heirs with Jesus Christ in eternal life:  therefore, continue to reign!  Be ye in Love!  Jesus is coming back again soon!  Peace and Love be unto you!  Amen and Amen!
