"Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee." 2 Corinthians 1:21-22
A seal is used to authenticate a document by leaving an impression. We have seen examples of seals when we needed a document to be notiarized. When a document is notarized, a public officer must attest or certify the writing (such as a deed or will) and signs it to show that it is authentic. Once we receive the seal or stamp of authenticity our document is legally binding. Now imagine God's seal.
Being sealed by God means that he has confirmed, ratified and secured our position in Christ. He is the impression of a seal upon us. His seal authenticates and validates us to be partakers and joint heirs; whatever God has prepared for us will be for us! You are marked and positioned for purpose.
There is only one way to obtain the seal of God. You receive it once you have accepted Christ into your heart. In our acceptance we become established in Christ reaping all of the benefits of a joint heir. Everything that God has prepared for us is made possible through the righteousness of his son. We have entered into a covenant that gives us unprecedented access, power and authority.
With this covenant, we are instantly marked with the seal of God. It separates us as his chosen people but also let's the enemy know that we belong to God. We become a serious threat to the enemy's camp and also a target. However, we are given everything we need to engage and overcome because we are equipped with the Spirit of God which is our guarantee. It is by the Spirit we are able to put on the amor of God that ensures our victory.
God is establishing you because he wants to anoint you and prepare you for the upcoming transition that this New Year will bring. As you crossover, God wants to remind you that you are marked as an overcomer. He has validated your position, ministry and business. His stamp of approval is upon your life to WIN! Don't settle, step out in faith knowing that you are SEALED by GOD!
If you desire to be sealed by God, then take the moment right now to accept Jesus Christ into your heart. Simply pray this prayer:
Dear Lord, Thank you for sending your son to die on the cross for my sin. Please forgive me. I ask that you come into my life. I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Lord, I ask that you help me to live for you all the days of my life. Teach me to walk earnestly after you and desire your word. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
If you pray that prayer, welcome to the family of God; the great body of Christ. You have made your first step of faith! I encourage you to find a church home that teaches and preaches the word of God.
