Today, The Authority Of The Kingdom Of Heaven Is Wielded Effectively And Consistently Only By The Believer Who Overcomes The World

The Table With Brother Joshua

At our last gathering at The Table, we saw that our Lord Jesus grew not only physically, but that He also grew spiritually.

We saw that we are joint-heirs with our Lord Christ.

We also saw that The Kingdom of God is bequeathed to us by our Heavenly Father.

We however understood that we cannot possess our inheritance of The Kingdom of God until Christ comes to maturity in us.

Today, we will look at another perspective of our growth to maturity with the words of Lord Jesus as our main dish.

He spoke these words to us in Revelation 3:21:

To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcame and have sat down with My Father in His throne.

We will note that our Lord Christ did not sit with His Father in His Throne until He had overcome.

Furthermore, He clearly stated that only those who overcome will sit with Him in His Throne.

As we had seen previously, only those who Christ is fully formed in possess their inheritance of The Throne and Its authority.

These are otherwise said to be overcomers by our Lord Jesus.

With this in mind, we will proceed to walk the pathway to being an overcomer, so that we may enter into our inheritance.

We begin our walk by finding out what/who do we overcome.

John 16:33 reveals in His words what our Lord Jesus overcame:

I have spoken these things to you so that you might have peace in Me. In the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world.

He overcame the world.
So, what or who do we overcome?

In 1John 2:12 -14, the Apostle of our Lord Jesus not only reveals the growth path of the child of God but twice, he also reveals who we overcome.

We will however only read verse 14:

I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the Word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

We overcome the evil one.

We overcome the prince of the world our Lord Jesus overcame.

How do we overcome the world and her prince now that we know that we are to overcome the world and her prince?

In John 14:30, our Lord Jesus spoke these words:

Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

He declared that there was no correspondence in Him with the prince of this world.In other words, there was no desire in Him for all that the world has to offer.

And in Ephesians 4:27, His Apostle writes to us:

Neither give place to the devil.

The Apostle exhorts us not to give the devil a foothold within us.

We should note that he said that except we give the devil a place in us he cannot take it.

Now, here is the summary of what is being said:

An internal breach of security gives victory to the enemy of our soul.Therefore, the primary pathway for you and I to overcome is to ensure that the prince of this world has nothing in us.

We pray that your Spirit, Soul, and Body be nourished with the Bread of Life as you continue to listen.
