Some of you apologise before you ask.
That is not a personality. It is an indication of th seat your are positioned
Every born-again believer is legally seated: "And hath raised us up together, and made
us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:6). Past tense.
Completed.
But legally seated and functionally seated are two different things, and
there are four seats a blood-bought believer can occupy in his own mind.
THE DOCK (the accused). You relate to God as a judge and you feel like a defendant Prayer feels like a hearing, and when trouble comes your first thought is "what did I do?"
Tell-tale symptom: you apologise before you ask.
THE DOORSTEP (the beggar). You know you are forgiven, but you live at the edge of the estate hoping for scraps. You do not ask big, because asking big feels presumptuous.
Tell-tale symptom: you flinch at blessing.
THE dominaENTRANCE (the hired hand). You have a role and you work hard at it, but your
standing rises and falls with your output. This is the most religious seat, and by a
Light Bearers for Christ 1
distance the most exhausting, because the rent is due again every morning. Tell-tale
symptom: your confidence in prayer tracks your performance like a share price.
THE THRONE (the son). You come boldly, because the blood, not the week, is your
qualification. You speak to the mountain instead of describing it to God. Tell-tale
symptom: nothing has to happen for you to be settled.
Only the fourth seat reigns. And you were put in it on the day you were born again. No
promotion is pending. No qualification is outstanding. Ephesians 2:6 is not a target. It
is a receipt.
In this message Pastor Robert Onuorah holds up a mirror, because locating yourself is
the beginning of traction and motion. The whole work of the teaching is to get a passenger who has already been upgraded to stop standing in the aisle apologising to the crew, and to sit down in the seat with his own name printed on it.
