YOU’VE BEEN RELOCATED
Giving thanks unto the Father… Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son (Colossians 1:12-13).
In some parts of the world, people desire to “relocate,” maybe to some other country or city where they believe they might have better opportunities. When you received Christ as Lord of your life, you were relocated to the best and most glorious place possible: the Kingdom of God’s Love-Son.
Read the second part of our theme verse again; it says, “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us (that means transferred or relocated us) into the Kingdom of His dear Son" This means that you’re currently located in the Kingdom of God’s Love-Son where you prosper and all your needs are met. That’s where you are NOW.
It's got to be your consciousness that you’re a Kingdom person, and you live the life of the Kingdom. That way, you’ll enjoy the blessings and privileges of the Kingdom. In this Kingdom where you live, there’s no lack or want; only surplus and abundance. David said in Psalm 23:5, “...My cup runneth over.” That’s superabundance. Hallelujah!
Here's another thought: your divine relocation was out of the domain — jurisdiction — of darkness, into God’s marvellous light: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” (1 Peter 2:9). Blessed be God!
Satan, or darkness, has no control or jurisdiction over you; you’re not under their influence. You’re in Christ, in His glorious Kingdom, and in Him there’s no darkness at all (1 John 1:5).
So enjoy your place in Christ. Enjoy the life of righteousness, dominion, victory, glory and joy in the Holy Ghost. That’s the life of the Kingdom into which you’ve been relocated: “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost” (Romans 14:17). Hallelujah!
CONFESSION: I rejoice in Christ. I’m not under the influence or jurisdiction of Satan; I was born into God’s Kingdom of light, to show forth His wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of the Kingdom of God. Hallelujah!
