Revelation 3:19,21 KJV βAs many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. [21] To him that overcometh will I grant to SIT WITH ME IN MY THRONE, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.β

Did you notIce Jesus said all who overcome will sit with Him IN HIS THRONE?π I think itβs interesting that those who love God and do not seek to usurp His throne like Satan did get to sit with Him in it. How AMAZING that we can go from the lowest place to the highest position!πΒ
Jesus had just rebuked the church for being lukewarm. He said he would spit them out of His mouth if they do not repent. Yet he holds out this grand promise for all who do repent: to sit with Him in His throne.π Itβs as if God is saying, βDonβt you see what you are giving up if you remain lukewarm? I am offering you a seat with me IN MY OWN THRONE.βπ€£
I donβt think any of us really know how great our reward is for overcoming and keeping the faith. (1 Corinthians 2:9) But itβs still a good idea to meditate on it. Being that the church is Christβs bride and He is the perfect husband just imagine what a good husband would do for his wife. There is nothing he would hold back from her. Whatever he owns is hers. They share everything together. This is what I imagine when Jesus says, βTo him that overcometh will I grant to SIT WITH ME IN MY THRONE.β He fully shares with usΒ what is His, forever! WOW!πΒ What a Husband we have!π He said the same thing here:
Revelation 2:26-28 NET βAnd to the one who conquers and who continues in my deeds until the end, I WILL GIVE HIM AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS β he will rule them with an iron rod and like clay jars he will break them to pieces, JUST AS I HAVE RECEIVED THE RIGHT TO RULE FROM MY FATHER β and I will give him the morning star.β

Jesus says just as he has been given authority from God to rule the nations and break them to pieces (those wicked nations), He will give the same authority to all who conquer and keep the faith to the end. He shares with us what has been given to Him. He holds nothing back. He is the perfect Husband to the church His Bride. Yet Satan is still tricking people into believing that God is holding things back from us. But as we can see that is a lie. If they only knew the real Jesus Christ.π Some Christians donβt even know that Jesus promises to share His throne with them. He states it again through His servant Paul right here:
1 Corinthians 6:2-3 KJV βDo ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? [3] Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?β
Thatβs right, you read it correctly. Not only will we (the saints) judge the world along with our Husband and Master Jesus Christ, we will judge angels too!π³ Our Lord and Savior shares everything with us, He holds nothing back.
2 Peter 2:4 GNB βGod did not spare the angels who sinned, but threw them into hell, where they are kept chained in darkness, waiting for the Day of Judgement.β
Jude 1:6 KJV βAnd the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.β
God gives full victory to all who overcome this Satanic, evil world system. We will sit with Jesus IN HIS VERY THRONE if we repent of all wickedness and do not be lukewarm. Sitting with Jesus in his throne? You canβt go any higher than that!π
James 1:9 NIV βBelievers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position.βπ
