ESTABLISHED IN CHRIST FOR HIS KINGDOM PURPOSES (1)

SCRIPTURE READING:

Isaiah 43:19 – “Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.”

1 Peter 5:10 – “But [a]may the God of all grace, who called [b]us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, [c]perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.”

God initiates new beginnings, but also provides the path – a foundation – to walk it out.

Psalm 40:2 – “He brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps.”

Rescue leads to restoration. New life leads to established steps.

Colossians 2:6-7 – “As you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith…”

Receiving Christ is the beginning. Walking in Him is the process of being established.

After the new beginning comes the process of being spiritually grounded.

God does not just start something new – He builds it to last. Establishment is the divine follow-through.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE ESTABLISHED?

To be established in the Bible means to be:

1. Permanently settled in every area of your life
2. To be firmly planted in a place or something e.g. God’s Word, business, career
3. To be built up
4. To be stabilised never to live a life of ups and downs
5. To be set up never to be pulled down again
6. To be rooted, fixed and unmoveable planted by God that you cannot be moved
7. To be secured, and to be safe and to be brought to the place where your life is not at the mercy of a man
8.  To be preserved by God Himself and confirmed – often by God Himself. It reflects a state of spiritual stability, divine approval, and enduring purpose. The term appears in both Old and New Testaments, carrying rich theological and practical significance.

To be established means stepping into your divine identity and purpose

Biblical Definition of “Establish”

• In Hebrew, the word often translated as establish is “kun”, meaning to set up, make firm, prepare.
• In Greek, the word is “stērizō”, meaning to make stable, strengthen, or fix firmly.
• Spiritually, it implies being grounded in God’s truth, strengthened by His Spirit, and confirmed in His promises.

Verse	Meaning
Proverbs 16:3 – “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.”	God brings stability and success when we surrender our plans to Him. Aligning plans with God’s will
Psalm 112:6 – “Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever.”	Righteousness leads to spiritual permanence and legacy.
Isaiah 54:14 – “In righteousness you will be established… you will have nothing to fear.”	Establishment brings peace and protection from fear.
1 Peter 5:10 – “…the God of all grace… will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”	After trials, God personally secures and strengthens His people.
Matthew 7:24-25 – “…like a wise man who built his house on the rock… it did not fall.”	Establishment is about building life on Christ’s teachings — a foundation that withstands storms.

Altar call: For anyone reading this article who is not saved and wants to be part of the family of God or you want to re-dedicate your life back to Jesus, please repeat this out loud. “Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I have sinned against you. Lord Jesus forgive me of my sins. I repent of my sins. Lord Jesus come into my life and be my Lord now and forever in Jesus Name. Amen

Prayer: Any power saying, “no” to my divine establishment in life and destiny, be destoyed now by the fire of God, in Jesus Name.
