There Are Good Things In You
That the communication of thy faith may become
effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which
is in you in Christ Jesus (Philemon 1:6).
For you to
be effective in the communication of your
faith, there has to be an acknowledgement of the
good things in you. There’re no bad things in you.
Some
people don’t know this, so they’re always looking
for
something that’s wrong with them. They’re always
talking
themselves down, focusing always on their
inabilities,
disabilities, and frustrations. That’s not right!
There are good
things in you, and you’ve got to acknowledge them.
As a child of God, the very life of God is in you:
“To
whom God would make known what is the riches of the
glory
of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ
in you,
the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). Christ is in
you; He lives
in your heart. Acknowledge it. Affirm that greater
is He that’s
in you than he that’s in the world. This means
you’re not an
ordinary person. You have the ability of God and
excellence
of the Spirit in you. You can reign in this life
because you have
the righteousness of God. You’re special!
Why is it so important to acknowledge the good
things
in you in Christ Jesus? It’s because they’re
spiritual and are
actualized or activated by acknowledgement. The
Bible says,
“They know not, neither will they understand; they
walk on in
darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out
of course. I
have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children
of the most
High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one
of the princes”
(Psalm 82:5-7).
The above verses are very revealing. It shows why
many live miserably and die like ordinary men, even
though
There Are Good Things In You
they’re gods and children of the Most High. They’ve
never
acknowledged who they are, what they have, their
abilities
and potentials in Christ Jesus; this has made their
faith
ineffective.
CONFESSION
As I meditate on God’s Word, my
spirit is programmed for absolute
mastery, success, and
transcendental blessings. I’m
blessed and highly favoured. The
lines are fallen unto me in
pleasant places. I have a goodly
heritage. Everything that belongs
to me is glorious and wonderful.
Hallelujah!
