Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

(Psa 24:3-6 KJV) 

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

(Php 2:8-9 KJV)

God had planned to reveal Himself to different generations of humanity. Knowing that each generation will have different levels of mental development and the discoveries of the natural world, He chose to use terms that each generation can relate with and discern His mind. In using earthly things to explain the heavenly realities (Truth), the manner God spoke to people 2000 years or earlier reflected their understanding of the natural world. Therefore, though our understanding of the earth and nature, in general, has changed, the Truth of God remains the same. So we must see not from this world’s light, but with the light of God.

In Revelation 5:1-7, when a search was made for who can open a sealed book in heaven, three locations where life can be found was investigated: heaven, earth, and under the earth. Heaven is the realm of Angels, the earth is the realm of Man, and under the earth is the realm of Satan and fallen angels (demons). Though not directly mentioned in that part of scriptures, a higher realm of existence was indicated. For a Lamb, that looked as if it had been slain appeared in the midst of the throne, the four living creatures, and the elders (Rev. 5:5-7). The Lamb came from a higher realm of living that the Angel who made the first inquisition didn’t have access to. That realm of living is the realm of God.

The realm of God is not accessible to the Godhead alone, but also specific individuals that He exalts to that plain of living. In Revelation 5:6, apart from the throne, the four living creatures and the elders were also mentioned. It was one among the elders that brought the revelation of the existence of the Lamb which the Angel who made the first inquisition in Revelation 5:3 could not find. We can see that the God realm is a realm of greater light. People who operate from this realm of life are greater than those who operate in the lower light (Heaven, Earth, and Under the Earth). Now how do we gain access to this realm?

The first of God creatures that desired to be in this realm was Lucifer (Isaiah 14:13). Though his desire was not wrong, the way he hoped to achieve it was. He repeated ‘I will, I will’, indicating dependence on self and not trust in God. Because of this, he was brought down (debased). However, God came down in Jesus Christ to show us the path to that realm or plane of living. And the way He revealed is the way of humility, which is expressed in obedience (Phil. 2: 8-9) and service (John 13:1-17). As Jesus obeyed the Father to the extent of dying the death of the cross, God exalted Him above the heavens (Psalm 57:11), which is the realm of God. As we follow His footsteps of humility and obedience, we too will be exalted to that realm of light, which the devil could not attain.

Prayer Point:

Let’s thank God for His word today. Let us also ask Him to help us humble ourselves before Him.

God bless you all
