EMBODY means ‘to represent in a physical form; to personify’.

ELEVATION means ‘the act of raising a person from a lower place, condition, or quality to a higher one. Also means ‘the condition of being or feeling elevated, heightened; exaltation’.

Right Representation implies Embodying the Elevation.  By redemption- the finished work of Jesus at Calvary, the downtrodden / fallen man had been raised up. He has been elevated into a significant personality – one who is equipped by heritage (the redemption package) to be the right representative of God on earth: to cause Creation to come to the full knowledge of the fact that there is a God whose Wisdom brought the earth and all that is in it into being and determined how the creation would be/ remain under control throughout time.

Embodying the Elevation implies being the heir of God indeed: making ones new status evident to all to the glory of God Almighty who paid the sacred price to restore to the ransomed man (who accepts Jesus as his Saviour) the privileges that man lost which in Christ has become his possessions.

In Jesus Christ, he has become a precious and priceless personality, heavier than earlier forms of man – a creature, a friend, a son of God. Hence, he has to maximize all he has received to make Creation even the adversary to know He has remained mindful of the man He created in His image and likeness and has redeemed him to be better than Adam that could be shortchanged, Abraham that could be set up, the disciples that could be subjected to all manner of schemes. Now, God has no mean people – the heir in Christ being dangerously decked with Power, Riches, Wisdom, Strength, Honour, Glory, Blessing to be capable of the task of standing in the gap for God to control creation.

Satan was defeated once and for all and man was ransomed for eternal triumph and the Blood of Jesus shed at Calvary is still speaking – telling satan the limitations of the other man that gave him the grounds to trespass is finished. Hence, he lost it in the heir of God.

It is therefore the place of God’s own heir to behave as God expects of him. Thus:

a)   ACKNOWLEDGE: Far be it from any heir of God to manifest ignorance of whom he is in Jesus Christ in this age when times have so evolved and events have so whipped the fool who says ‘there is no God’. Despite man’s desperate manoeuvres in the Scientific and Technological sphere to act like he is in charge, God has made it clear to the sensitive that the man (even life) is nothing without God. The waster has wasted all sorts of ‘man’ yet the strength of redemption has kept the heir on his feet praying to secure and safeguard creation from being overrun by satan and its anti-Christ schemes.

‘The man that is in honour and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish’ (Ps 49:20 KJV). God forbids that the heir of God would choose to perish as a beast after the price that God paid to make him honourable. There is a command to uphold in order to Embody the Elevation. It is in Proverbs 3:6 ‘in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight’. Hence, the heir must acknowledge God for whom he is – the heir of God. Then live, walk and behave as befitting his personality to give God glory for the privilege.

To Embody the Elevation - represent God rightly as your obligation, acknowledge that you are God’s heir, the governor of God’s estate responsible to tend the trees and keep the creatures that God may suffer no loss and you may have fruits to sustain His chosen people under your care.

b)   ASCEND: The seat of an authority differs from that of his subjects. That is why the divine authority (the Trinity) is seated in Heavenly places far above principalities and powers (Eph 2:6).

God has remained magnanimous to the man He ransomed. He had ‘raised him up with Christ and seated ‘us’ with Him in Heavenly places’. That is, the heir of God is no mean personality by his place and position in Christ in the same plain with God. Therefore, the gimmicks of elemental spirits and agents of darkness notwithstanding, the heir of God is seated far above them and made by God to be ‘more than conquerors’. Knowledge of the person of God with whom the heir is seated is principal. Note these Scriptures:

i)Isa 49:16 “Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.”

ii) Deut 32:11 “Like  an eagle protecting its nest, hovering over its young, God spread out his wings took hold of Israel, carried him on his back CEB

iii)Eccl 8:4  “Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?” (KJV)

iv) Isa 49:24 -25 “Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.”

There is none mighty enough to withstand God. If the freedom of the captive of the terrible was ever actualizable through a prophet of old, then the heir of God is too specially decked to imagine any enemy as terrible.

Embodying the Elevation is representing God rightly and entails that the heir is seated where his seat is rightly located, speaks with authority as God does and expect his Word to have the capacity to create, crush and counter by the weight of God’s Word that undergirds his utterances.

Note that to ascend takes effort and energy and the heir of God is not bankrupt or lacking in those. He should quit the ground level for his subjects and satan and use the ladder of faith to reach for his seat. From there, he can oversee creation and ask the help of God to fulfill his obligations towards creation especially the maintenance of order.

Acknowledge the lifter – the same Holy Spirit that was in Jesus which was able to raise Him from the death. It is He that quickens the heir of God unto his exalted throne is he knows where his seat is and desires to occupy it and do the necessary work on God’s behalf. So, rise to your seat!
