Do you know that without God, human being cannot do anything on earth?
And there is equally an important truth, that without human being God will not do anything on Earth.
That's how powerful you are, as human being.
This is the reason why God wants to possess and inhabit our body.
2Cor 6:16b “..for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”
Don't forget that we said in one of the previous messages that, the only being with legal authority on earth, approved by God is Man.
Even God does not have the authority to function on earth.
Hmmmm.
It sounds unbelievable?
But that is the truth.
If God wants to function or do anything on earth, He has to get permission to do so from man.
Hear God Himself in Genesis 1:26.
God said "...and let them have dominion.."
Take note that, He did not say "let us".
God deliberately removed Himself from the dominionship of the earth.
God delibrately put Himself in that position.
That means, man is supreme on earth.
Hmmm.
Another truth that sounds unbelievable.
But that does not mean God is weak.
NO!
God still remains the omnipotent(All powerful), Omniscience (All knowing), Omnipresence(Every where at the same time).
But you need to understand that, there is quite difference between Authority and Power.
Authority is the Legal right to exercise power.
So if you have power and there is no commensurate authority backing you up to exercise it. That power is as useless as no power.
All power in hevean and on earth is with God.
When it comes to authority, God only has authority in heaven.
While He gave the authority on earth to man.
He said: "...let them have dominion.." (Gen 1:26)
And that is why God always need to take permission from man before He will do anything on earth.
You can now understand the reason behind the incarnation.
Carnation means carnal (the flesh)
In-carnation means God in a carnal (flesh) body.
You can also understand why God has to come in human form as Jesus Christ.
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in flesh..."
( 1Tim3:16)
So you can see that the Holy Spirit was packaged into a dust body (Jesus).
We now have immanuel (God in man, Elohim in man)
God with us. "...God was in Christ.."(2Cor 5:19)
The whole thing about incarnation is for God to have Legal authority on Earth, as He (God) has given to man.
God is a God of principle, that will never break His own law.
That is why He is also following the due process He laid down.
But unfortunately, man was not actually doing the Job as planned, So God has to come in.
God initially planned heaven on earth.
"Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.." (Mt 6:10)
Man could not do the job according to God's plan, because he disobeyed God, fell, receive the nature of satan and at the same time, handed over his authority to satan.
Man was the one God gave authority to in the garden at Eden. The authority given to man was legally transferred to satan through disobidence.
It therefore means, the power the devil was using over man, was not given to him by God, but by man himself.
Jesus Himself could not challenge that fact in Luke 4:6 when the devil presented it.
"And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it."
The devil was talking about the kingdom authority and dominion to function on earth, handed over to him by Adam.
Jesus knew that was true, because man(Adam) actually handed it over to devil.
And Jesus knew that, He (Jesus) is still going to collect that power back from the devil.
Which He actually did.
After His sacrificial death and resurrection before ascension, He declared to the disciples in Mathew 28:18 that:
"All power is given unto me in hevean and in earth"
So He collected the power back, from the devil on our behalf and gave the power back to the believers.
He, Himself does not need it, as the time of this declaration. He is about to ascend and sit at the right hand of God in glory.
He only collected those power on our behalf. And invested it into the Church (His body). We are the Church.
So now;
We have the power!
We have the authority!
Where exactly am i going? or what exactly am i driving at?
For you to function effectively in this world created by God, remember it is God's world not yours. You were only placed there by God, and God has programmed how He wants His world to be run.
Bottom line
You need God to possess your body for you to be effective, successful, wealthy, prosperous, Celebrated and to operate maximally at the peak of distinction, with your destiny.
Jesus said "Behold i stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Rev 3:20)
Why does He wants to enter?
God wants to fill our entire beings with Himself, yes, to fill us so full of Himself.
When this happens, we begin to live in the realm of the supernatural abundant blessing of God. And that is also when we will begin to operate maximally at the peak of distinction, with our destiny.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY
