Rhapsody of Realities Thursday, November 13th Theres Nothing More You Need To Do... Pastor Chris Oyakhilome PhD Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light (Colossians 1:12). No Christians needs to pay any additional price, outside of what Christ already paid to have an extraordinary life and be all that God wants us to be. Think about it: what did David do for God to choose him and make him king of Israel? Nothing. What did Abraham do for God to choose him and say,lll make you great; Ill bless you and make you a blessing, and through you and your seed the whole world will be blessed? Again, like David, Abraham did nothing; it was simply Gods choice. Moses said to the children of Israel, God blessed you because He loved your fathers, referring to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; he didnt say it was because they did anything. It was simply the result of His love. What did Joseph do for his father Jacob to love him and give him a coat of many colours? He was one of Jacobs many sons, but his father just loved him. He was neither the first nor the last child of his father; therefore, his fathers love for him wasnt preconditioned on his position amongst the siblings. It was simply a matter of choice, though he was the son of his old age. Its the same with you today. God loves you, and He has qualified you to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light. Its your heritage in Christ to enjoy your life and live your best to the glory of God. He didnt create you for destruction. When Jesus hung on the cross, He said, It is finished. He announced the end to suffering for all humanity. Now, anyone who believes in Him and accepts His vacarious sacrifice is automatically ushered into the transcendent life of dominion. His sacrifice was enough. All He wants now is for you to take advantage of His grace. Enjoy the glory that resulted from the sufferings of Christ. Theres nothing more you need to do beyond what He already did. Prayer Dear Lord, I thank you for the strength that comes to me from your Word. I thank you for the life Ive received, by the resurrection of Christ from the dead. I thank you that Im the object of your love, and my prosperity and wellbeing are your delight. I live in the victory of Christ, in Jesus Name. Amen.
