FEBRUARY 4
ONE IN HIS HEADSHIP
“Grow up into Him in all things, which is the Head, even Christ.”
(Ephesians 4:15)
There is a spiritual realm of dominion and control, not a position that is
selfishly grasped, but a position filled by those prepared by the Lord. “Keep on
fostering the same disposition that Christ Jesus had. Though He was existing in
the nature of God, He did not think His being on an equality with God a thing to
be selfishly grasped,” (Phil. 2:5-6, Williams).
“And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, (Heb.
5:4). One can always find a few self-appointed apostles and prophets in the
land. Those who would like to prophesy others into some kind of a position, as
if by saying so would cause them to qualify. But let it be clear, OVERCOMERS are
not self-proclaimed reactionaries, they are carefully prepared by God through
much purifying “To him that overcometh…”implies that there will be a sufficient
amount of obstacles placed into your pathway for your overcoming, so that having
gained the victory you qualify for the crown. If the difficulties seem to be
piling up in front of you, take it as a sign from the Lord that He purposes to
make you an overcomer. Consider the trials as a token of the personal attention
of God in your development.
You are sitting alone in the desert, the Lord is talking to you only by these
pressures; He is testing you with trial and tribulation, and yet you feel so dry
and dead, no feelings, no morsel of fellowship for a long time, and then one
comes along boasting of their many works and the causes they are promoting.
Don’t envy them, don’t measure your life by theirs, and don’t let their activity
place you under condemnation because you aren’t engaged as they. Many a star
falls out of its place and blazes across the sky in a spectacular display, but
it burns itself out, and plunges into darkness. God is bringing forth developed
disciples that will qualify to share His throne, which will abide in the place
He appoints for them, to rule in righteousness.
