Rulership in the Heavens Begins Now

Getting directly to the point of this article, Rulership in the Heavens Begins Now:

“Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign of the heavens; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens” (Matthew 5:19, ISR98).

Jesus is the epitome of the commandments for He is the Word:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth (John 1:1-3, 14).

With greatness come a few requirements: purity of heart is especially important and obeying the Spirit of God is essential. Those who are led (led kids, led) by the [Holy] Spirit, are the sons of God (Romans 8:14).

If we allow Holy Spirit to lead us we won’t err in judgment, we won’t be led of our flesh and do those things we know hinders our relationship with Almighty God. Thankfully, even if we do have an error in judgment, we can be quickly restored to peace in God and press on provided we just acknowledge the error, apologize to Father, and keep it moving. Father God is so patient and gracious, but we must never use that mercy to perpetuate a lifestyle of sinning. We’re better than that, we’re children of the King and He deserves our worship.

Live your life now for future rewards. Yes, there will be earthly rewards while we pursue righteousness in Him, but with that pursuit also comes future rewards, those treasures we lay up for ourselves that don’t corrupt (Matthew 6:19). There are also rewards for “position”—rulership, in eternity.

Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life (1 Corinthians 6:3)?

Positions in eternity are established by the choices we make HERE and now, so let’s not limit ourselves to earthly treasures when there are thrones to occupy and reigns in the heavens to rule. We are His workmanship in Christ (Ephesians 2:10), let’s agree to allow Holy Spirit to shape us now for our future seat, our position in the heavens. We are kings and priests and lords unto our God indeed (Revelation 1:6), but the manifestation of those titles actually begins right here and right now by following the Spirit of the Lord in obedience to His best for us. We know we have a book, a developing story, created by God before the foundation of the world with our part being worked out in this earthly realm; so let’s align ourselves with what He shows us in His Word (which is His best) and manifest our ability to reign in the heavens right now. We must make it a point to live our earthly lives for the rewards of the future; this is how we forever establish our rulership position with Them in the heavens and reign with Them in the worlds to come.
