*RHAPSODY OF REALITIES*
(ADULT)
*TUESDAY 14TH, MAY 2024*
*PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME*
*CREATED FOR HIS GLORY*
*"According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath CALLED US TO GLORY AND VIRTUE"*
*(2 Peter 1:3)*
*______________________*
Notice our underlined part in our theme verse; God has called us to glory and virtue. Virtue means excellence. Heβs brought you into a life of glory and excellence. All you have to do to enjoy the life He's given you is to live in His Word! Thatβs the key to living in your inheritance in Christ and enjoying life to the full.
Thereβs nothing the Lord hasnβt given you or done for you already. Ephesians 1:3 says, βBlessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.β He has already granted you every blessing you could ever imagine. This is in sync with what we read in our opening verse.
Your life, therefore, should be one of praise, glory and thanksgiving to the Lord every day, everywhere and at all times. Heβs given you the transcendent life; the overcoming life that makes you superior to Satan, darkness, disease, sickness, failure, defeat and death; life thatβs beyond this world!
This extraordinary life, along with righteousness, was delivered to you in Christ through the Gospel. His vicarious sacrifice in our behalf ushered us into the glory-life. The Bible tells us that the prophets of old testified of the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow (1 Peter 1:11).
Christ suffered so that you would live in the glory. Youβre in that glory now. Blessed be God! If, for example, youβve had problems in your physical body, regardless of what it is, use the Word against it. Declare that youβre triumphant always and in every place. Hallelujah!
π£οΈ *PRAYER*
*Dear Father, I thank you for the life of Christ in my spirit thatβs made me one with you and brought perfection and excellence into my life. My life is for your glory and I function by the dominion of the Spirit today, in Jesus Name. Amen.*
