Executing Christian Integrity (Installment 2)





In the first installment of this lesson series we discussed the Divine Dynasphere, a system of power designed by God the Father to sustain the humanity of Christ during his earthly ministry. We also learned that this sphere of power was bequeathed to us by Christ upon his departure from earth.

The apprehension of this exceptional truth provides an enormity of confidence for the Christian believer. The very system of power that sustained Christ during his earthly ministry is the same system of power that God uses to sustain each and every believer during their life here on earth. Christ did not only come to earth for the sake of saving humanity, but he also came to present the protocol plan of God and reveal the sphere of power available to each of us to execute this Divine plan.

As we progress in this study we will examine, in some detail, the uniqueness and efficacy of the Divine Dynasphere. Whether you are coaching a sports team of commanding an elite army, there are two necessary elements involved in a successful campaign. First there must be a strategic victory and then there must be a tactical victory.

The strategic victory is witnessed in the masterful planning of the executive agent (Coach, General, etc.). The strategic plan places the tactical agents or elements (players, soldiers, etc.) in the most advantageous position to insure victory. When executing His plan of grace, God sent our Lord Jesus Christ to bear the sin of mankind, he executed the perfect strategic victory over the enemy. He released humanity from the enslavement of sin. He provided the freedom and the power for humanity to execute His power and plan.

In the tactical element of the plan, it is the responsibility of the tactical agents to effectively execute the strategic plan. No matter how great a coach or how superior the general, the inability to tactically execute the plan leads to defeat. The awesome thing is God’s strategic victory over Satan was so complete that it guaranteed the tactical victory of all who would commit to following the plan. The victory has already been provided for every believer who will simply commit to the plan.

“But in all things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.” (Rom. 8:37, NASB)

How do we conquer? We conquer by accessing the Divine assets that have been provided through the magnanimous work of Christ at Calvary. When Jesus Christ declared “It is finished” (John 19:30), it was a proclamation that all that is required to save, empower, equip and elevate the believer had been accomplished. It is the believer’s responsibility to access these assets and execute God’s specific plan for their lives while daily executing the Christian way of life.

All of the assets required to execute the Christian way of life is available in the Divine Dynasphere. In fact, outside of providing the power, the system presents the standards and organization necessary to reach optimum performance as a believer. The system provides the cohesiveness necessary to facilitate the required organization, discipline, authority, and training for each believer to actualize their full potential.

No matter how innovative an idea may be, without an organized system through which you may execute the idea, all efforts will lead to frustration and failure.

The Christian believer has been given many commands an mandates of which he/she is responsible for carrying out; however, every mandate and requirement associated with Christianity is facilitated by one Divine system of power.

Dr. Rick Wallace
As stated earlier, the cohesiveness of God’s system of power provides the proper environment to execute God’s plan. In order to be effective the believer must become familiar with God’s plan, which is also facilitated within the Divine Dynasphere. It is the responsibility of every believer to engage in the daily study, absorption, digestion, metabolism and inculcation of scripture so that they may become thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Tim. 3:16, 17).

What God’s system provides is a superior system that transcends any plan that any Christian could devise. God has covered every contingency and provided for every challenge. It is when believers take on the mindset that they have it all figured it out that they get themselves in trouble. God has provided all that is necessary, we simply must execute the plan.

When the believer commits to working within the system, they progress toward their destiny and actualize their potential. ~ Dr. Rick Wallace
