OUR DESTINATION IN CHRIST 1

ROMANS 8

29 ¶ For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

Christianity is a journey. It commences from salvation and ends at the Image and fullness of Christ’s stature. Christianity is not a religion, but a vibrant and dynamic relationship with God. As a matter of fact, we can measure the progression of our journey in God from one point to another. We will not make significant progress in our walk with God if we lack the sense of destination. How ridiculous does it sound if a person is said to be on a journey but does not know where he is heading to. Our relationship with God is a journey that begins at salvation but ends at the stature of the fullness of Christ. {Rom 8:29; Eph 4:11 – 15}

There are many distractions being designed today to frustrate our journey in God. The only way to break through every barrier and opposition is to set our gaze on the glory set before us, that is, our destination- the fullness of Christ – perfection. {Heb 12:1-2} It is only as we grow up into Christ {the perfect man} that we portray His purity, Glory, Power, Authority and Love in fullness.

OUR DESTINATION IS NOT A PLACE

In the past, we have been taught that our goal as Christians is to make heaven. It has being emphasized that heaven should be the most important thing to a Christian and that is the whole essence of our walk with God. As spiritual as this notion sounds, it is not scripturally accurate. I am not saying that we should not intend to make heaven. Making heaven is the will of God for all His children. However, it must be clear to us that while heaven is God’s gift to us, the primary purpose for our salvation is becoming like Christ. As a matter of fact God’s agenda since creation has not changed. The plan of God is that man should extend His heavenly dominion and reign to the earth realm.

PSALM 115:16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S; But the earth He has given to the children of men.

GEN 1:26 ¶ Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

THE DAY OF THE LORD

            When the vision of conforming to the fullness of Christ’s image becomes all consuming in our hearts, we will begin to experience the emission of revelation and light in an explosive manner. Illumination will come on the church to bring forth the depths of God’s people. The earth is about to witness the church of the firstborn that is neither denominational nor discriminatory. The ‘laser’ of the Spirit is splitting all barriers holding bound the true church Christ purchased with His blood.

            The day of the invasion of the Spirit is coming upon the earth and the believers who have allowed the circumcision of their hearts with the inscription of the Spirit will begin to set a new standard in the earth. This will bring great power upon the church with such impact that will surpass the accomplishments of the early church. This power will only be seen through those responding to the cry of the Spirit – the call to perfection.
