Our Portion In Christ

Apostle Grace Lubega

Ecclesiastes 6:1-2(KJV); There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men: A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

The scriptures teach us that disease is not only that which affects the body.

There is another kind of disease such as that which is spoken of in our theme scripture.

The Bible reveals that there is a disease of a man “to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.”

A Born Again believer is a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light (Colossians 1:12). He has been given everything that pertains to life and godliness (2Peter 1:3). He has been blessed with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places (Ephesians 1:3).

Sadly, we live in a world where the Born Again Christian seems to be behind in everything; his reality is not that which heaven has stated as truth. What is ordained by God for him is in the hands of strangers; they that are not of the covenant.

What God has ordained as our portion is not merely a promise; it is the reality of the new life in Christ.

This means that to heaven, lack is not in the story of a believer. To heaven, being at the mercy of a non-believer is not the story of a believer; To heaven, having your life determined by the systems set by a non-believer, if these systems are contrary to God’s Word is not the story of a child of God.

You are the pace setter; the one who establishes systems; the one who defines the direction of economies. God calls upon you to live in the consciousness of this reality every day.

GOLDEN NUGGET:

What God has ordained as our portion is not merely a promise; it is the reality of the new life in Christ. This means that to heaven, lack is not in the story of a believer. To heaven, being at the mercy of a non-believer is not the story of a believer; to heaven, having your life determined by the systems set by a non-believer, if such systems are contrary to God’s Word is not the story of a child of God.

PRAYER: My Lord, I thank you for this great Word. I rest in the reality of what you have ordained as my portion in Christ. I am above and not beneath; I am rich and lack is never my story. I live with this consciousness every day and with this, reality I prevail, in business, in career, in family, in my studies and in every area of my life. To the glory of your name, Amen.
