Far Above All Principality – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional December 23rd

(We’re Seated Together With Jesus At God’s Right Hand)

TO THE BIBLE: Ephesians 1:19-20 NIV
“Far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.”

LET’S TALK
“No, Darlyn, don’t go into that house! I heard that a witch lives there,” Carol warned her sister. “That shouldn’t stop us from leading her to Christ!” Darlyn retorted.

“I thought you knew to whom we were connected—Jesus is Lord everywhere! He’s the Head of all principality, and we’re seated together with Him at the right hand of God. If she’s in there, she ought to be scared of us.”

When God raised the Lord Jesus from the dead, He set Him at His own right hand “far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come” (Ephesians 1:21).

“Right hand” in Scripture means the place or seat of power. It’s like saying, “Jim is my right-hand man”; it means Jim represents and speaks for you; you’ve given him your authority.

Jesus being seated at God’s right hand means He’s seated in the seat of power; God operates through Him. That’s amazing!

But then we observe something remarkable about the infinite expanse of Jesus’ dominion, it surpasses all levels and hierarchies of power.

The Lord Jesus reigns supreme in this world as it is now and also in the ages to come. He holds unmatched authority over all things, and His Name stands above every title.

The Amplified translation renders it beautifully. It says Jesus is far above “…every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come” (AMPC). Glory be to God!

In other words, call them whatever you want; the superiority of the Lord Jesus is undeniable, and it transcends all persons, limits and boundaries.

That’s the Lord Jesus Christ in whom you believe and whose birth is celebrated at this time all around the world. His authority knows no bounds and has no equal. His power extends throughout eternity, Hallelujah!

Pray:
Dear Father, I’m in awe of your mighty power, which was demonstrated when you raised Jesus from the dead and set Him at your right hand in the heavenly places, far above all levels and hierarchies of power, dominion and every title or name. Thank you, for I’m seated with Him in this glorious place of power and authority and have become his operational headquarters in the earth. Amen.
