Eph 1:9-11
God has now revealed to us his
mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfill his own good pleasure. 10
And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under
the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth. 11 Furthermore,
because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God,
for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his
plan.
NLT
The scripture we just read tells us
that a time is coming when God will bring everything under the authority of
Jesus Christ. A day will come after the rapture, when Jesus Christ and we who
are in His kingdom will rule and reign in this earth for one thousand years.
The city which you dwell in will probably still be known by the same name
when this happens. This period of our rule and reign with Christ will be after
we have been raptured and the anti- Christ’s era has come and gone.
You see, those of us who are working
for the kingdom of God; working to populate the kingdom of heaven and
depopulate hell, are the ones who will reign and rule with Christ in His
Millennial reign. It is after this period that the new heaven and the new earth
will be created.
For example, do you think any
governor will appoint in his cabinet people who didn’t support him? He is more
likely to appoint people who worked hard to see that He won the elections. So
It will be during that reign of Christ on earth; the people who will reign and
rule in His government will be those who continue to stay united with Christ,
bearing much fruit and doing His will (being His witnesses- campaigning for
Him).
Jesus Christ wants you to rule and
reign in this world and in His coming reign on this earth. The key to this is
to trust Him and obey Him, never look down on yourself but take advantage of
the blessings God has bestowed upon you. He will make all grace abound
towards you. Amen.
