BEHOLD THE CROSS!

Ps 16:8 ¶ I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

In the wilderness, Israel camped facing the tabernacle of Moses while their backs faced the world. God does not want His people to behold the world; He wants us beholding His glory in the cross. The story of Israel tells us that the world is inferior to the church because their backs were facing the world while their faces were toward the tabernacle, the glory of God.

The world has nothing good to offer us in terms of health, finances, education, prosperity and the likes. They function with lesser principles while we function with a higher truth. The fact that Israel’s back was against the world and their faces was toward the tabernacle implies that all that God wants is for us to be conscious of the cross and nothing else. In it is the inheritance of rest of the believer.

The world and its systems are falling apart at an alarming rate. It is only a fool that will put faith in this sinking ship. The world is peripheral to the church. There is no way the world can be superior to the church. The devil is the god of this world’s system while Jesus is the God of the kingdom of God where we belong.

These are two different systems guided by different principles. If you go by the principle of the world, you are submitting yourself to the devil and his cohorts. On the other hand, if you submit yourself to the principle of the kingdom of Jesus, you are submitting yourself to the Lordship of Jesus.

We have been delivered from the domain of darkness and have been translated into the kingdom of His dear Son (Col 1:13). As new creations in Christ Jesus, we are not subject to the world. We are superior to the world.

We have a better health system, a better financial system and every other thing you can think about. Our system cannot fail; it is founded on Jesus. We don’t need a psychologist to live; we don’t need a doctor to live; we don’t need a financial analyst to live; we don’t need an ungodly marriage counselor to help us in our marriages.

Prayer of Salvation
Dear God, I believe that Jesus died and was raised for me. I confess Jesus as the Lord of my life. I receive eternal life into my spirit. I declare that I am born again in Jesus’ name.
