Translated Into Light

Text: Colossians 1:3
" “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:”"

God has a plan for us, and everything that God is doing today is in accordance with the plan. Understand one basic truth. For every one of us that have become born again, God has moved us from the realm where the powers of darkness have rulership into the kingdom of his dear son (Colossians 1:3). In other words, we are dwellers and participants in God’s kingdom.

This is important because we must have to realise and be conscious of our first place of residence which is the Kingdom of God. If this truth does not dwell in us, God’s people will find themselves exiled from the realities of the kingdom. Scripture tells us in Psalms 82: 6-7, I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.”

Since we have been moved, there is another plan that we must have to discover. The first plan however, is that we have been moved. God’s plan can be likened to a script. It has a beginning and an end. Scripture says “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith …” Hebrews 12:2.

This shows us that “Our Faith” has a beginning and an end. In our bid to walk in accordance with the will of God and in line with the plans of God, we must first give our lives to the Lord which then becomes the inception, after which we seek to discover the next agenda of God for us.
