Theme: Look To The Glory Within!
By Pastor Anita
"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us"- (2 Corinthians 4:7).
Once you're born again, your life becomes one of blessings; 1 Peter 3:9 says you were called to inherit a blessing. Then 2 Peter 1:3 tells us that His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that has called us to glory and virtue. Inside you is the glory of God—the beauty and excellence of the Spirit. Therefore, always look inwards to the glory within.
The Lord Jesus said in Luke 6:45, "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good…." He didn't say you should pray to God to give you good things from heaven, because your spirit is a reservoir of good things; you only need to bring them forth!
When you received the Holy Spirit, you received into you life and godliness. You don't need to look for help outside, because the "Helper" lives in you. His presence in your life represents solution to every crisis, and deliverance from all troubles. You don't need to seek to be blessed because you've already inherited a blessing (1 Peter 3:9). What you need to do now is to "search and discover"; in other words, look into the mirror of God, and discover who you really are.
Acknowledge that you're the blessed of God. Testify that in Christ, you have everything you require for a heaven-inspired, successful and victorious life in this world. The communication of your faith becomes effectual as you acknowledge every good thing, which is in you in Christ Jesus (Philemon 1:6). There're good things already in you—pleasurable things—things that bring joy, honour, and excellence, because you're in Christ Jesus! Look inwards and bring forth excellence from within you.
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for endowing me with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. I'm full and loaded with good things, and I bring forth excellence from within me today, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
f u r t h e r s t u d y: 2 Peter 1:3; Ephesians 1:3
