God! Three letter words yet words are not enough to describe Him; His beauty, His dimensions, His depth, His love, His Mercy, His kindness, His Kingdom, His Sovereignty… it is endless I tell you.
But in this blog post, I will be writing about a dimension of Him or rather a part of Him I find fascinating powerful and worth talking about- The Right Hand of God!
When Jesus Christ, Our Lord & Savior died, He rose and is seated at the right hand of God till date. As He took His seat there, God exalted Him, gave Him a name above every other name – Philippians 2:9
The Bible could have just told us that Jesus was elevated to seat in a high place in heaven, but that is not the case. In recent times, I am learning that every detail given to us in the bible is a pointer to something important. I strongly believe that this right hand of God is a throne room of a different kind of Power from God.
My God is all powerful, but this mighty right hand of His which is mentioned over fifty times in the bible is something only the spirit of God can open our eyes and understanding to see and comprehend.
And may He do just that as we delve into the study of the Right hand of God in Jesus name.

- The mercy and Grace of God in abundance flows from there to His children because that is where Jesus is seated right now and He intercedes for us non-stop- Romans 8:34
- The sacrificial blood of Jesus flows from the right hand of God to atone for our sins everytime we was ask – Hebrews 9:14 Hebrews 10:12
- The power of God through Christ Jesus flows to His Children here on earth. If Jesus had not died, risen and taken His seat on the Right Hand of God, we Christians will not be able to walk in or possess the life of victory we have right now. Philippians 2:9, Luke 10:19
