To Him that Overcomes

"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" (Revelation 3:21).
In the Book of Revelation, there are two classes of Believers.
The first is The Overcomer.
The Overcomer is The Bride of Christ whom He has chosen. 
It is all those who went further with The Lord, beyond their
salvation and responded to the High Calling in Christ and
are “seated” with Christ in His throne. A people called of God
to more. Who loved not their lives unto death. Who rose
above their life circumstance and overcame, who followed 
The Lamb wherever He went. A Bride who has "made herself ready" 
for The Marriage Supper of The Lamb".
The Second is The Multitude.
"After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no
man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people,
and tongues, "stood" before the throne, and before the
Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their
hands " (Revelation 7:9)
(robes and palms speak of Redemption and Salvation)
This vast multitude that "stands" before His Throne received of The Lord during their life the free gift of Salvation. Heaven is their home for all eternity.
As they "stand" in the presence of The Lord before the throne they see all those who overcame that are "seated" with Him they realize that they missed the opportunity to be an overcomer and be chosen as His Bride. They spent their lifetime accumulating riches in this world and being concerned for temporary things and the cares of this world but failed to purchase eternal things.
Our testimony is the expression of our relationship with The Lord.
It is the accumulation of all the decisions that we have made over
our lifetime that have registered and formed our "Eternal Expression".
The Multitude was freely given Salvation but did not grow during
their lifetime but chose their own way and the way of the world and 
never submitted their lives to His Lordship.
The Overcomer during their lifetime allowed The Lord to bring them into a 
special relationship where they became a “Living Sacrifice" unto The Lord. 
Their self-life was dealt with by the daily working of The Cross and 
was no longer an obstacle or hindrance to the expression of His Life. They are the “Wise Virgins”, Their lamps were full of oil which speaks of direct 
and ongoing communion with The Bridegroom.
The time that we have, here on earth, is the most important time of all eternity as we are making our decisions for eternity now.
John 12:25 "He that loveth his life shall lose it; and 
he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal"
If we love our life here we will lose something of eternal value there...........
The unspeakable Joy of having an intimate relationship with Our Lord as His Bride for all Eternity. A Joy unspeakable and fullness of Glory as we rule and reign with Our Lord as His Sons for all Eternity.
“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14
“And he that overcometh, and keepeth My works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; ....
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” –Revelation 2:26-29
Paul saw the difference in these groups, and he sought the higher level (high calling of God). May we also seek this eternal relationship of being seated with Jesus in His throne, as a Bride having "Overcome this world even as He Overcame"
Today we can come before Jesus and "surrender our lives" to Him and allow Him to take us far beyond our Salvation and prepare us as His Bride. This is the very heartbeat of The Lord as He sits enthroned beside The Father ever making intercession for us that we would be engaged to Him with eyes for Him only and "enter in " so that on "that day" our place will be at The Marriage Supper of The Lamb
