Thought for Today: When God Made You

In these last days the enemy has released an ordinary spirit into the church. Since the devil cannot convince you that God is not who He says He is, he is now attempting to convince the children of God that they are just like everybody else in the world.

This ordinary spirit that has been released in the body of Christ has been sent to attack not only those who sit in the pews each Sunday but those who serve God in any capacity in the church, from the parking lot attendants to the gatekeepers, ushers, worshippers, prayer warriors, preachers, teachers, prophets, equipment managers, office administration, even the pastors of the church.

Jesus said in Matthew 24:24, “For there shall arise false Christ and false prophets and shall shew great signs and wonders insomuch that if it were possible, THEY SHALL DECEIVE THE VERY ELECT.”

The enemy has been whispering in your ear that you are no better than anybody else, and if he has not whispered that into your ear then he is saying you are just like everybody else. The enemy wants you to believe the lie from hell that you are just an ordinary person.

But I came to inform you the devil is a liar. The minute that you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, you went from being an ordinary person to an extraordinary person. For the word of God says “But as many as received Him (Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior) to them (this means you) gave He POWER TO BECOME SONS/DAUGHTERS of God, even to them that believe on his name” (John 1:12).

When Jesus became your Lord and Savior, God took His Super and fused it with your natural, which gives you the ability to live a supernatural life. This is what is meant in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any man/woman be in Christ he/she IS A NEW CREATURE old things are passed away behold all things are become new.”

I know you don’t feel like it, I know you don’t think there is anything special about you, and you may even believe the lie that the world, your flesh, and the devil has told you all this time that you are nothing special. I say to you my brother, I say to you my sister THE DEVIL IS A LIAR, yes, I am shouting at you. As a child of God, you are not an ordinary person, you are an extraordinary person.

The word of God says, “According as His (God’s) divine power hath given unto us (this means you) all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him (Jesus the Christ) that hath called us to glory and virtue. Whereby are given unto us (this means you) 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).

The reason why the enemy don’t want you to pray (communicate with God) , worship (get in the presence of God), and read the word of God is because the more you do those things the more you become like Jesus. And anyone who has even heard of Jesus understands that He is not ordinary.

I want to put this right here for you, Romans 8:29 “For whom He (God) foreknew He also did predestinate to be CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON, that HE (Jesus) might be the firstborn among many brethren/sisters.” If you are being made in the image of Jesus you need to know this truth: there is nothing ordinary about you.

I rebuke the spirit of ordinary over anyone who is reading this thought of the day. And I declare that you are sons and daughters of the most-high God, you are joint heirs to the throne of God, you are the head and not the tail, and that same power that raised Jesus from the dead now dwells in you.

For it is written, “When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained, what is man (humanity) that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him/her a little lower than the angels and hath crowned him/her with glory and honour THOU MADEST HIM/HER TO HAVE DOMINION (authority) OVER THE WORKS OF THY HANDS; THOU HAST PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIS/HER FEET” (Psalms 8:3-6).

There is nothing ordinary about you. Get up, pick your head up, and grab the word of God and declare what God says about you. You are not ordinary, you are extraordinary simply because when GOD MADE YOU, he created something special. 

Thought for Today: Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth 

It seems like one of the hardest things to do in life is to follow instructions. There are many reasons why we as humans don’t like to follow direct instructions. For some of us we feel like we already know what to do, how to do it, and when to do it; for others it’s just too much reading or listening; for others, instructions are too long and confusing.  

When you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, God Himself gave you written instructions on how to live a life that is pleasing to HIM. For the word of God says “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. That the man/woman of God may be perfect thoroughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). 

God has also given you His word to protect you, as seen in Proverbs 30:5 which says, “Every word of God is pure; He (God, Himself) is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.” When you follow the basic instructions before leaving earth (read your bible) “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper and every tongue that shall rise against thee I judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD and their righteousness is of me saith the LORD” (Isaiah 54:17). 

When you follow the basic instructions before leaving earth (read your bible) you will have better direction in your life, for the word of God says, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path” (Psalms 119:105). 

When you follow the basic instructions before leaving earth (read your bible) it will give you a whole new life, for the word of God says “My son/daughter attend to my words incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes, keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are LIFE UNTO THOSE THAT FIND THEM AND HEALTH TO ALL THEIR FLESH” (Proverbs 4:20-22). 

But the main reason why your enemies do not want you to follow the basic instruction before leaving the earth (read your bible) is found in John 1:1-5, which says, “In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him and without Him was not anything made that was made.”  

When you read the Basic Instructions Before Leaving the Earth, that are from God, not only will God reveal to you all that He has created, He will also reveal to you who He is. Reading His word allows you to get to know Him for yourself.

Have you ever noticed that when you pick up your Bible to sit down and read, all hell breaks out? The phone rings, the kids are screaming, the dogs are barking, and the cats are meowing. Music gets turned on, tv gets turned up, and if that’s not enough all kinds of thoughts are racing around in your head as you try to read your Bible.  

I know what I am about to say may sound strange, but you have to stop trying to make time to read your Bible. The world, your flesh, and especially the devil will do whatever they can to prevent you from getting the basic instructions to live a life that is pleasing to God. 

Hear me clearly, you can’t make time to read your Bible, you need to TAKE THE TIME to read your Bible. Not only will it build an intimate relationship with you and God, it will also give you the instructions to build a place for God to stay in your life. 

For it is written, “All this said David the LORD made me understand in WRITING BY HIS HAND UPON ME EVEN ALL THE WORKS OF THIS PATTERN. And David said to Solomon his son be strong and of good courage and dot it (follow the basic instructions before leaving the earth) fear not nor be dismayed for the LORD GOD even my GOD will be with thee He will not fail thee nor forsake thee until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD” (1 Chronicles 28:19-20). 

Get the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (read your bible) every day and watch the life you live move from ordinary to extraordinary. 

Be Blessed
