DONT SETTLE FOR THE AVERAGE LIFE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 2013* Pastor Anita Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; And ye are Christs; and Christ is Gods. (1 Corinthians 3:21-23) God didnt create you to suffer and struggle through life. Some people suffer and settle for the lesser things in life because theyre ignorant of their rights, privileges and inheritance in Christ. Some have thought it wrong to live well and look good. They have the notion that its better to live in poverty and go to heaven. Living in poverty, sickness and defeat has nothing to do with going to heaven; in fact, thats inconsistent with the Gospel. However, living in health, dominion, and in Gods provision is the will of God for you. God didnt plan a miserable life for you. His Word, apart from showing you His will for your life, also reveals your inheritance in Christ. 2 Corinthians 8:9 ,declares, For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. Jesus became poor that we might become rich. What you have to do to enjoy the life of prosperity Hes brought you into is to live in His Word! In Isaiah 1:19, God said, If ye be willing and obedient, ye shalt eat the good of the land. The Living Bible puts it this way: If you will only let me help you, if you will only obey, I will make you rich. Your submission to Gods Word as final authority in your life is the key to living in your inheritance in Christ and enjoying life to the full. God has already given you all things to enjoy; so dont settle for the average life.

I thank you for bringing me into my place of inheritance in Christ Jesus, where youve made all things available to me to freely enjoy, in Jesus Name. Amen.
