Rightful Ownership

Dear Readers around the world. God’s Peace and Blessings to this day of our Lord!

Have you ever had something that you owned and treasured? Today let’s explore this issue of rightful ownership.

In the beginning God created the world, the entire universe, and all that was or ever will be. He looked and said it is good. Then God created Adam and Eve. We read how God said, let us create man in our image. God molded and created us to be like Him. Then God looked and said it is very good.

God has created each person on earth in His image. We must agree that this is good and that God is the rightful owner of His creation. God created us in His purpose. However, God also put choices before man.
We can see in the Garden of Eden the choice had to be made as to whether or not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. To eat meant to reject the will of God and to decide for themselves what is good and what is evil.

Mankind still today still struggles with this battle of good and evil.

The Bible tells us in Isaiah 53:6
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
There is none good, no not one. However, this is why the Great Shepherd of the sheep has come!

There are certain fundamentals of human life even today, before God and Satan. 1) the one you believe is, is the one you obey. 2) The one you obey is the one you become like, and the one who becomes your owner 3) The one you become like, is the one with whom you will spend eternity.

Who is your King? There are only two choices. There is one that is the Truth and then there is the Liar. The True King, the Lord God has these characteristics; Light, truth, goodness, love, creativity and life. The false king, Satan is darkness, a liar, full of evil, full of hate, loves to destroy and murder.

When we think of the Kingdom of God, we believe that the Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. The Kingdom of God is His Kingship, His rule, His authority. We are in awe of God’s power, His might, His Glory!

This is the rightful King and ruler! It is under His rule that true believers belong! He is the Creator, the Savior, and the Redeemer! The devil thought he had won the battle when Jesus died on the cross. He falsely assumed that man will be lost forever. He could not have been further from the truth.

By His death, Jesus destroy’s Satan right of ownership over humans. The document that was against us is Satan’s certificate of ownership. (our sins). Jesus Christ melts and dissolves this false ownership in His own blood! The victory is won! Jesus is victorious and He lives!

This offer stands for unbelievers today!
Mark 1:15
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Under whose authority and Kingdom do you belong today? Is it God’s? Remember, sometimes we feel weak and poor, but be encouraged because it says in Luke 6:20
And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

Believe and share the following! Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Our God, our Creator, the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, has rightful ownership of you!

Come to Him humbly and just as you are. We know that it does not take great learning or head knowledge to be in the kingdom of the KING! Luke 18:16
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

Dear reader, the time is short. All of the prophecies of Jesus have been fulfilled except the last one, which is that He is coming again! His coming must be first preceded by Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Matthew 25:31 (KJV)
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

What a day that will be when our Saviour we see in that beautiful city of gold!

May God Bless your week!
