“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3 KJV
Our scripture for today is very explicit: God has blessed you with ALL spiritual blessings – not some but all – His word is yea and amen. Be rest assured that you are not going to end a disaster! Relax your mind. You are not going to end a disappointment! The hand of God is resting upon your life. The blessing of the Lord upon your life shall provoke a creative mind and cause you to become sought after. You shall be filled with the knowledge of witty inventions. You will become an instrument to provide answers to challenges of life.
It is written: “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption” (1 Corinthians 1:30 KJV). That is your heritage. You have wisdom! You have the mind of Christ! You have an astute mind! You have a creative mind. You are the righteousness of God in Christ. So, the devil cannot plant sin in your life.
Righteousness is God’s DNA. Righteousness is God’s ability. Righteousness gives you boldness in the presence of God. Because of your righteousness in Christ, you can stand without any fear or inferiority. Your righteousness in Christ gives you authority. Satan cannot stop you because you are unstoppable. That is your heritage. When you know who you are, then you will not fall for the cheap lies of the devil. You will understand the blessings ahead of you and so you will not indulge in the pleasure of sin that is just for a season. You are bigger than that. You are a loaded person. As far as heaven is concerned, whosoever is born of God does not commit sin, (1 John 3:9) because the seed of righteousness is in him.
Beloved, you can’t practice sin. It’s contrary to your nature. You can’t allow sin to become your lifestyle. Don’t compromise your loaded destiny.
