Enrich and Sustain your relationship with Jesus reading our daily devotional – John 17:24 | Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
Beloved, your Father in heaven have not lost His passion of fellowship with humanity the crown of His creation. Even though Adam failed Him, but He had come up with a master plan to undo the wiles of the wicked ones against His people.
See His great vision. I have good news for you, that you are part of this vision and aspiration of the Lord.
Revelation 21:3-7 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
For this vision to be realised see all that, the Father had done. All you will need is to believe Him and plug into it trustfully and wholeheartedly.
1. He has unchanging good thoughts concerning you that shall help you find Him without stress.
Jeremiah 29:11-13. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
2.He is not going to withdraw His cord of everlasting love for you.
Jeremiah 31:3 The Lord hath appeared of old untome, saying,Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
3. He will support you to remove every hindrances for you to live with Him.
Isaiah 6:5-6. ¶Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
4. He will take you out of every pollution that can hinder you from living with Him.
Genesis 5:21-24. And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
Hebrews 11:5. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
5. He will also help you overcome all the difficulties satan can put on your way to hinder you.
Isaiah 43:1-2. But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
So like Noah, prepare tirelessly and continually for this great vision, God has for humanity, the crown of His creation and you in particular, shall not elude you.
It shall not in Jesus name.
Hebrews 11:7. By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
Dearly beloved, our Lord loves His followers, the glorious church and He loved them and that includes you, to the end.
John 13:1. Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
He loved them dearly because these would be His friends, that He would lay His life for.
John 15:13. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
So He sincerely prayed,so that His vicarious sacrifice for then, shall not be in vain, but fruitful.
I pray for you in particular, that Jesus’s death shall not be in vain for you in Jesus name.
John 17:9. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
John 17:15. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
John 17:20-21. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
The Lord summons the future into the present. He speaks of having once for all sent them, and he sees rising before his eye the multitudes in all ages who would believe their testimony as if already doing so.
John 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
The universal Church rejoices in the fullness of his love and the greatness of his wish concerning the individuals who believe. The prayer is an eternal intercession. It is the prophetic prayer of the bridegroom, praying for His brides. See what our Lord prayed for . His passionate desires for all His brides and you in particular. They shall not elude you in Jesus name.
1. He wants them to be with Him, where He shall be for all eternity. I see you too there.

1 Thessalonians 4:17: Then we which are alive andremain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. .

Revelation 7:14-17. And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
4. He was seeing them by faith in His Father’s Kingdom already. I see you there too.
Matthew 26:29: But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.
5. He saw as He prayed by faith a gathering of watchful followers.

6. He saw by faith the gathering of faithful followers that shall be dinning and reigning with Him eternally.

2 Corinthians 5:8: We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Dearly beloved, I pray for you earnestly that , the prayer of our Lord shall not elude you in Jesus name.
THE MOST IMPORTANT PRAYER OF CHRIST FOR BELIEVERS OF ALL AGES, ACCORDING TO THE GOSPEL OF JOHN, THAT MUST NOT ELUDE YOU. IT SHALL NOT IN JESUS NAME.
Friend, because Jesus promised His tried followers of the certainty of His coming back for them.
John 14:1-3. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
He followed it up with eternal prayer that would facilitate its accomplishment. Jesus has prayed for you in particular, this dawning rapture shall not elude you in Jesus name.
John 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
When He prayed, He had already seen the gathering of His bride in the nearest future as the answer to His priestly prayer for them.
See what He saw as He prayed. The great gathering at the marriage supper of the Lamb. You shall be there in Jesus name. It shall not elude you.
Revelation 19:6-9. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
So, for this great gathering not to elude you and it shall not in Jesus name. Commit yourself conscientiously to be doing the following:
1. You must continually be expectant looking forward to receiving your bridegroom.
Hebrews 9:28. So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; andunto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
2. Because, He bought you with His blood, you must be free from iniquity.
2 Timothy 2:19. Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
3. You must be part of the glorious church, not graceless church basking in shameful licentious lifestyle.
Ephesians 5:25-27. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Titus 2:11-14. For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
4. You must be doing all things from the perspective of eternity.
Colossians 3:1-4. If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
5. You must remain pure. Your fine linen must be sparkling without stain or spots, washed continually with the precious blood of Jesus, flowing ceaselessly at Calvary.
1 John 3:1-3. Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
May the good Lord help you to remain wise unto salvation until this time in Jesus name.
