Topic : Chosen To Be A Blessing.
Memory Verse:John 15:13. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Bible Reading :John 15:14-16. Key Verse: v16.
Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
The grace of God that brings salvation appeared unto us because God in his benevolence chose us to represent him here on earth. As his people, we are to continue as to finish every good works Jesus Christ our saviour began here on earth when he walked on the surface of this earth as a man. His primary assignment on earth was to save men (as many as will believe in him). He was moved to come and die for us out of love. Because he loved us, he couldn’t watch us languish in our sins and become permanently enslaved by sin and the powers of the kingdom of darkness. He submitted himself to die for us to live, willingly. “I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. “Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.” John 10:14-15,17-18.
Our relationship with Jesus is multidimensional in nature. As servants, we receive instructions from him to carry out daily (live in his will). It doesn’t stop there because Christ does not just relate with us as ordinary servants, but friends and fellow heirs. As friends he is able to bring us into his depth and secrets by his Spirit. Now, we are able to walk alongside each other (with him) daily. He shows interest and gets involved in all that concerns us, giving us helping hand here and there to make sure that we succeed in our endeavours. As joint heirs, he brings us into his eternal inheritance with the father. We are able to partake his divine nature as fellow sons in the house. “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: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” 2 Peter 1:3-4.
All these rights and privileges are extended to us so that we can be fruitful in him. Not only that, God desires that the fruits we bear in him stands the test of time. This means that we are designed to live our lives to impart as well as impact everyone around us positively. This fruitfulness must touch every aspect of your life and entire being. This includes your spiritual life, your social, career or business life, your martial life, etc. At this point, you must understand that your fruitfulness is by covenant and therefore not negotiable, as long as you walk in obedience. “And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.” Deuteronomy 7:13-14.
Prayer : Thank you Father God for choosing me, even from my mother’s womb to be called your own. Thank you for every resources you have made available to me as to make me a blessing here on earth. I bless you for configuring me to be a blessing to my generation in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
