And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:” (John 17:18-22 KJV)
Today, we affirm our faith in the Lord and in His servants by whom we believe (See 1 Corinthians 3:6-9) We want to boldly declare that everyone can live the same life as Christ lived on earth, operating in the same power and glory as He did.
When the Lord prayed for the church as the scriptures teaches in John 17, some of the lines in the prayer assures that we can live and operate by the same power and glory as Christ did. From the scriptures, we believe that;
We are sent into the world even as Jesus was sent. You are sent just as Jesus Christ to your family, workplace, home, friends. (John 17:18)
We are sanctified through the truth. In John 17:19, we understand that just by coming to church and sitting to hear the truth, that same truth sanctifies. Merely humbling yourself to hear the truth sanctifies you. If you go further to do the truth, you will be blessed.
Jesus Christ prayed for us: our third assurance that we can live and operate by the same power and glory is the fact that Jesus Christ has prayed for us. That prayer is like giving a standing order to your bank (John 17:20)
We are one with the God head: we belong to the God family. We are one with the father, son and Holy Spirit. (John 17:21)
We have been given the same glory as was on Jesus Christ: we must receive and manifest that glory. (John 17:22)
Indeed, you have no excuse; you can live as Jesus lived. You can walk in power and glory. Romans 8:28-30 teaches us that you are called according to the purpose of God. God called you because He has a purpose for you.
- He knew you before you were born
- He predestined you to live as Christ did
- He called you
- He has justified you
- He has glorified you
The very moment you decide to come to church, God rewarded you with these blessings. (Hebrew 11:6)
Only believe!
I love you
