IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD: YOU ARE GOD’S BEST!
“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.
Don’t think or live less than what God HAS DONE, IS DOING and WILL DO in you in Christ Jesus – for you are God’s BEST, knowingly and unknowingly.
For you are the reason WHY the earth was made. Henceforth, you need to keep COMMUNICATING YOUR FAITH effectually, with shoulders high, head up, and on the HIGH HEELS OF FAITH in the grace of Christ Jesus’ stead. Isaiah 45:11-12; Psalms 8:4-8.
When God made all things He created, He said they were GOOD. But when He made man – them, male and female – He said they were VERY GOOD. Meaning, He is the very BEST, hence you are God’s BEST, irrespective. Speak well to live well. Think well of yourself. And walk the walk of WHO YOU ARE in Christ Jesus’ stead – and not what religion, tradition, denomination, or sectarian settings want to make you be, or purport you to be, to suit their limitations of your WORTH in Christ Jesus. You are A CHOSEN GENERATION, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PECULIAR PERSON, set to show forth the praises of God who has delivered you and taken you out of the darkness of this world into His marvellous light of glory and virtue.
I pray that you will START UP NOW living in the SCRIPTURAL CONSCIOUSNESS of who you are in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“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.
“Giving thanks to the Father, who has QUALIFIED us to share in the inheritance of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. 13 For He has RESCUED [DELIVERED] us and has DRAWN us to Himself from the DOMINION of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED [TRANSLATED] us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the FORGIVENESS of our sins [and the CANCELLATION of sins’ penalty]” Colossians 1:12-14/Amplified.
“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.
“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I HAVE MADE THE EARTH, AND CREATED MAN UPON IT: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Isaiah 45:11-12.
“What is MAN, that thou art MINDFUL OF HIM? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast MADE HIM a little lower than the angels, and hast CROWNED him with glory and honour. 6 Thou MADEST him to have DOMINION OVER THE WORKS OF THY HANDS; thou hast PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIS FEET . . .” Psalms 8:4-8.
“And God said, Let us make MAN in our image, after our likeness . . . 27 So God created MAN in his own image, in the image of God created he him; MALE AND FEMALE created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over . . . 30 And God saw every thing that he had MADE, and, behold, it was VERY GOOD. . .” Genesis 1:26-31.

SUMMARY
The message is a bold IDENTITY CHARGE titled “IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD: YOU ARE GOD’S BEST!”
It calls every believer to wake up to their true worth in Christ, to stop living beneath what God has planned, and to consciously walk in the truth that you are God’s crowning creation — made for glory, purpose, and dominion.
KEY POINTS
- YOUR WORTH IS ESTABLISHED IN CHRIST
Philemon 1:6 — “That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU IN Christ Jesus.”
What God HAS DONE, IS DOING and WILL DO in you makes you GOD’S BEST, knowingly and unknowingly. You are the reason WHY the earth was made. Isaiah 45:11-12 - YOU ARE THE “VERY GOOD” OF GOD’S CREATION
When God made all things He called them GOOD. But when He made man — male and female — He said VERY GOOD. Genesis 1:26-31
Meaning: Because He is the VERY BEST, you reflect His BEST. You were made in His image and likeness, crowned with glory and honour, and given dominion. Psalm 8:4-8 - YOUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST
You are not defined by religion, tradition, denomination, or sectarian limitations.
1 Peter 2:9-10 declares you are:
A CHOSEN GENERATION, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PECULIAR PERSON — called out of darkness into His marvellous light to show forth His praises.
Colossians 1:12-14 AMP — God has QUALIFIED, RESCUED, DELIVERED and TRANSFERRED you into the Kingdom of His Son with forgiveness and redemption. - WALK IN SCRIPTURAL CONSCIOUSNESS
God has put ETERNITY in your heart and made EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL in its time. Ecclesiastes 11:3
Therefore, speak well, think well of yourself, and walk the walk of WHO YOU ARE in Christ Jesus stead.
CALL TO ACTION
- ACKNOWLEDGE IT: Daily acknowledge EVERY GOOD THING that is in you in Christ Jesus. Your faith becomes effectual when you agree with what God says about you. Philemon 1:6
- REFUSE SMALL THINKING: Don’t think or live less than God’s BEST for you. Lift your shoulders, head up, and walk on the HIGH HEELS OF FAITH in God’s grace.
- REJECT FALSE LABELS: Reject what religion or tradition tries to reduce you to. You are not ordinary — you are God’s image, His BEST, and His representative on earth.
- LIVE YOUR IDENTITY NOW: START UP NOW living in the SCRIPTURAL CONSCIOUSNESS of who you are. Speak it, believe it, and walk it — a chosen, royal, holy, peculiar people showing forth God’s praises.
FINAL WORD
You are GOD’S BEST. You are GOD’S IMAGE. You are GOD’S CREATION.
Live like it, in Christ Jesus. Amen.
