The phrase ‘right hand’ bears great significance in the Bible. It portrays a position of privilege – a place of honour and status. For example, our Lord Jesus Christ sits at the right hand of the Father (Hebrews 1:3). Hebrews 12:2 also reveals that after Jesus suffered and died on the cross, He sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. The right hand of God represents His ultimate strength and power.

    Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.     1 Peter 3:22

The person being referred to in the Scripture above is Jesus. He is the One on the right hand of God with all powers in subjection to Him. No matter the earthly position a fellow occupies, there is more power and authority at the right hand of God. God’s right hand is the place where all angels, authorities, and powers submit to Him. Psalm 18:35 also reveals that the right hand of God is the place of sustenance and help. Today’s memory verse tells us that as God’s children, we are seated together with Christ, and since He is at God’s right hand, we are also there with Him.

Being at the right hand of God means that you will never lack help and provision. It means that you will always find the timely and abundant help you need. Those who are at God’s right hand are never small because His right hand is the place of power, as we see in Mark 14:62, which says: “And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.” This means that, as Christians, we are a people of power and influence. We enjoy help, sustenance, and favour from God. Unfortunately, however, while this is our identity as God’s children, some believers are living far away from this reality because, like the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32, they have wandered far away from the Father’s right hand. They have heeded the call of sin and frustrated God’s grace upon their lives.

Beloved, if you have not surrendered to God, or if you have wandered away from Him, I invite you today to come unto Him. He is knocking at the door of your heart (Revelation 3:20); open it up to Him. He is waiting for you earnestly with open arms; don’t keep Him waiting.

Psalm 110:1-3

RCCG Hymn

In Christ Alone

  1. In Christ alone my hope is found
    He is my light, my strength, my song
    This Cornerstone, this solid ground
    Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
    What heights of love, what depths of peace
    When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
    My Comforter, my All in All
    Here in the love of Christ I stand
  2. In Christ alone, who took on flesh
    Fullness of God in helpless Babe
    This gift of love and righteousness
    Scomed by the ones He came to save
    'Til on that cross as Jesus died
    The wrath of God was satisfied
    For every sin on Him was laid
    Here in the death of Christ I live, I live
  3. There in the ground His body lay
    Light of the world by darkness slain
    Then bursting forth in glorious Day
    Up from the grave He rose again
    And as He stands in victory
    Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
    For I am His and He is mine
    Bought with the precious blood of Christ
  4. No guilt in life, no fear in death
    This is the power of Christ in me
    From a life's first cry to final breath
    Jesus commands my destiny
    No power of hell, no scheme of man
    Could ever pluck me from His hand
    'Til He retums or calls me home
    Here in the power of Christ I stand
