Message of the Day: Psalm sixteen is sweet a write
up that one will love to read again and again. It contains prayers and words of
encouragement to the children of God. It is very rich in what should be the
confession and experience of them that follow the Lord. The Psalm tells us much
about God and the blessings of relating with Him. It did not fail to tell us
the dangers inherent in following false gods. It is in this great Psalm of great
things that we come across the term Saints on earth. If anyone is in doubt,
here is a confirmation that there are Saints on earth. In life here and hereafter,
these Saints are precious and special before God. They are all the delight of
God. They are the godly on earth. As for the godly (the Saints)
who are in the land, they are the excellent, the noble, and the
glorious, in whom is all my delight. Psalm 16:3.AMP
What are the identities of these special people in heaven and on earth?
Yes, Saints are on earth and the joy today is that you can be one and God
specifically wants you to be one. The Saints are the children of God in Christ.
The Saints are the redeemed of the Lord. They are precious purchased by the
precious blood of Jesus and made citizens of heaven dwelling temporarily on
earth. There is no reason why you can not be one and even confess that you are
one.
Most of the time, the Bible refers to Saints, you find out that
invariably the reference are in respect of Saints on earth. Of course there are
Saints triumphant who had slept on earth to be with Christ in His glory at the
glorious place.
The book of the Psalms is a book that contains the most references on Saints.
The words joy, gladness, rejoicing, singing and praises generously feature in
their mentioning. Joy in the Lord always is a sign of being a Saint. They are
privileged to praise God as a normal way of life. They can sing aloud on their
bed. They have the honour to execute judgment written, this is ministry of
binding and losing. To execute
vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; To bind
their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute upon
them the judgment written: this honour have all His Saints. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 149:7-9.
Paul routinely refers to children of God as Saints. And that is what we
are in Christ. The blessings and benefits are tremendous. The Lord revealed to
Daniel that the Saints shall take the Kingdom for everlasting possession. But
the Saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for
ever, even for ever and ever. Daniel 7:18
From You to God: It is a privilege to be a Saint,
heavenly Father, make me a sure one in Jesus name.
Application: Confess that you are a Saint in
Jesus name.
Foot Note: The children of God in Christ are
Saints and they must live accordingly.
