Philemon 1:6 (NLT) - “And I am praying that you will put into action the generosity that comes from your faith as you understand and experience all the good things we have in Christ.”
There is so much you have in God as His child. You have been enormously and richly blessed. The Apostle Paul writes; “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,” Ephesians 1:3. Moreover, as His child, you are an heir just like Romans 8:17 says; “and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
The challenge sometimes however is that one can be too focused on the natural - when you are observing all that is not currently working as you want them to or you are focused on what is lacking. If you are so focused, then you are wrong because “…His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue” 2 Peter 1:3. In reality therefore you do not lack, you only need to keep growing in your knowledge of what has been made available to you in Christ so you can fully experience and enjoy it.
So, appreciate all that Christ has made available to you today and always. As you come to more knowledge of what God has done in you and for you through the finished work of Christ, give thanks and rejoice. Let your life be one of celebrations as you study scriptures and see all that you are and have in Christ Jesus. There is so much you have been given in Christ - inexhaustible riches. So, celebrate. Hallelujah!
Prayer: My Father, I thank You for who You have made me in Christ. I have been delivered from the power of darkness and brought into the Kingdom of Christ Jesus my Lord and Saviour. I rejoice for you have given me all I require for living a godly life. Glory to You forever, in Jesus’ Name. Amen
