RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY FRIDAY 22ND NOVEMBER 2024.
This scripture indicates that Christians will indeed judge angels. We will be seated together with Christ on thrones, and we shall judge the world and judge angels according to the Scriptures.
Does this imply that Christians are superior to God’s angels? Yes, and our superiority is the result of our identity, our oneness with Christ. We’re joint heirs with Christ, born of the Spirit of God. Unlike the angels who are servants of God, we’re God’s children: “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs–heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ…” (Romans8:16-17 NKJV).
The Bible says, “…the servant abideth not in the house forever: but the Son abideth ever” (John 8:35). And 1 John 3:2 says, “Beloved, now are we the sons of God…;” we have the rights and privileges of sonship. We’re one with Christ, and He has given us His authority; we live and function in His Name.
Some have asked for clarification with reference to Matthew 22:30 which indicates that at the resurrection we would be as angels. You have to understand the context: it says, “For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.” Here, Jesus was responding to a question about marriage after resurrection, but He clarified that in the resurrection, we won’t be bound by earthly institutions like marriage. Instead, we will be like the angels, without gender, and will not engage in marriage.
This doesn’t mean we will “drop” in rank to the status of angels but that we’ll transcend earthly distinctions. In the resurrection, we’ll be like God, who is neither male nor female. Presently, the angels are sent to serve us: “But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation” (Hebrews 1:13-14).
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for making me a joint heir with Christ, seated in heavenly places with Him, living and walking in the authority in His Name. I walk in the consciousness of my divine nature and live victoriously, reigning in life through Christ. Thank you for my divine oneness with you, my position, authority and inheritance in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
