GOD IS ABLE AND FAITHFUL: DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS!
“But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath CALLED you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:9-10.
The last time I checked with God about you in the Scriptures, He said that your WORTH in Him is GRACIOUS and PRICELESS. So, don’t let your present turbulence or circumstances MAKE you SETTLE FOR LESS than your WORTH in Christ Jesus. And in the same scenario, don’t disvalue and undermine your worth by the grace before our God in the name of humility, which is actually ignorance, foolishness and stupidity to the context of His word on the scriptures concerning our redemption in Christ Jesus. And do not even submit before man nor satanic influences, because your true worth and definition is not in men or Satan and his cohorts. Know for certainty that YOU ARE OF GOD AND ABOVE ONLY. You ARE CHOSEN, you ARE ROYAL, you ARE HOLY, you ARE PECULIAR, you ARE CALLED, and you have RECEIVED and OBTAINED mercy in the grace wherein you stand before God – without GUILT, unashamed and without complex, and without insecurity and without anchor, wrath and doubt of any form, and without fear of any kind standing before the Creator God in Christ Jesus. A place of no sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation.
“I desire therefore that in every place men should pray, WITHOUT anger or quarreling or resentment or doubt [in their minds], lifting up holy hands” 1 Timothy 2:8/Amplified Classic Edition.
“For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control” 2 Timothy 1:7/Amplified Classic Edition.
You ARE of God, and His DESIGN and SHOWCASE to the world, for you ARE wonderfully and fearfully created – that is, reverently made. You ARE God’s workmanship. You ARE of God’s cornerstone, fashioned and polished in the similitude of His palatial palace of GRACIOUSNESSS, GRACEFULNESS, FAITHFULNESS and BLESSEDNESS. The world by its makeup may discredit you, which is okay, for they qualify and quantify you as you ARE not of them – for YOU ARE of God. This is the hallmark of living a purpose-driven life that brings about meaningful fulfilment in the grace. And your stand in the grace gives you access to Father God and to enjoy the justified life in Christ Jesus.
“YE ARE OF GOD, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 WE ARE OF GOD: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.
“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS by faith into this GRACE wherein we STAND and REJOICE in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.
Your REDEMPTION is PRICELESS – don’t demean your WORTH for the LESS. Know full well, there IS an answer to your prayers, for God IS able and faithful to meet with you at the point of your need. God is NEVER late when you ARE patient – He’s always on time – Hebrews 10:23, 35-39. He lives in a TIMELESS realm of possibility, not on our 24hrs Gregorian timed Calendar. Hence FAITH – which is the necessary tool of the timeless realm in Him – is of paramount importance to ENGAGE with God – 1 John 5:4-5; Hebrews 11:6; Habakkuk 2:4. And surely and assuredly, God WILL meet you at that point in the realm of possibility. Mark 9:23; Mark 10:27 and Matthew 19:26.
Dust yourself off right now, head up and raise your shoulders high, and put on your high heels of redemption rights and privileges in Christ Jesus. Then arise in grace and look unto the HILLS from whence comes the ANSWER – and not the QUESTIONS – as you step into your day. It’s your time to shine. Go forth and shine, for your light has come and God’s PRICELESS glory is upon you.
Be Blessed – Meaning: Be Empowered in grace To Succeed, Thrive, Colour and be meaningfully Fulfilled.
YOU ARE WORTH THE LIVING – THE BEST OF GOD – DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“YE ARE OF GOD, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 WE ARE OF GOD: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.
“And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL CONTINUE until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], DEVELOPING [that good work] and PERFECTING and bringing it to FULL COMPLETION in you.” (Philippians 1:6 Amplified).
“God is FAITHFUL (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on); by Him you were CALLED into companionship and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” (1 Corinthians 1:9 Amplified).
“And WE KNOW that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did PREDESTINATE to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.
“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS by faith into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and REJOICE in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.
SUMMARY:
This is a charge to every Believer to KNOW THEIR IDENTITY, GUARD THEIR WORTH, and WALK IN FAITH because of what Christ has done.
In a world and even in some Churches where people are tempted to SETTLE FOR LESS — less value, less faith, less of God — God is saying: You are PRICELESS, CHOSEN, and CALLED. Don’t trade that for turbulence, people’s opinions, or satanic pressure.
