Pastor Chris
Sanctify them through thy truth:
thy word is truth (John 17:17).
Whatever God has said about you in His Word is the reality; that’s the
truth about you. For example, the Word says, "...Greater is He that is in
you than he that is in the world" (1 John 4:4). That means you can’t be
oppressed; you can’t be defeated or disadvantaged in life, because the greater
One, with all His wisdom, power, and glory, lives in you. Another truth is in 1
John 3:2 that says, "Beloved, now are we the sons of God…." You’re a
child of God now; not next year or when you get to heaven; it’s a present-hour
truth. You’re born of Him, and that makes you an associate of the God-kind.
Moreover, 1 John 4:17 says, "...As he is so are we in this
world"; that means you’re His express image; the effulgence of His glory.
Anyone who has seen you has seen the Master, because you’re His icon. No wonder
He said in John 17:22, "And the glory which thou gavest me I have given
them; that they may be one, even as we are one." Thus, as He
is—glorified—so are you!
Affirming the truth of our uniqueness, peculiarity, and superiority, the
Apostle James writes, "Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth,
that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures" (James 1:18). 1
Peter 2:9 reiterates a similar truth: "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."
You’re peculiar; the first and the best of everything that God created.
You’re His most precious and prized possession, called to display the
excellence, beauty and perfections of divinity! It doesn’t matter what you may
be going through in your life today; don’t despair; you’re more than a
conqueror. You’re the seed of Abraham! You’re a success.
The sickness-destroying, disease-resistant, and devil-repelling life of
God is in every fibre of your being, every bone of your body, and every cell of
your blood. Not only are you blessed, you’re also a blessing. Everything and
everyone you touch is blessed because you’re the dispenser of God’s goodness!
These are revealed truths about you in the Word of God; and they’re
indeed worth singing, dancing, and shouting about!
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you, for my heart has embraced
your words of life and truth. Thank you for granting me the revelation
knowledge of the glorious truths you’ve spoken concerning me, and the wisdom to
appropriate and walk in the reality of my blessings in Christ, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.
