PRICELESS AND BLESSED

Post date: Dec 27, 2012 5:32:30 AM

Irrespective of how you look or feel, irrespective of your height or weight, irrespective of your wealth or lack, irrespective of your bank account or none, irrespective of your career and current profession, irrespective of your level of productivity in any activity, irrespective of your marital status, irrespective of whatsoever you might have gone through in life over the years, irrespective of how much you have valued or devalued yourself, your value before God has not depreciated and there is no sign that it is going to depreciate soon. You are forever priceless, and will ever remain so before our living and Almighty God. No one preserves things that are not priceless, and you are priceless that is why God had preserved you with hope and assurance of a greater and better tomorrow.

Do not allow the devil to tell you how much God loves you, he will definitely not tell you that God hates you, because he definitely knows God loves you. Refuse to listen to the devil’s story of how faithful your God had been and how He had blessed you over the years. Just as he told Adam and Eve the truth about the tree in the center of the Garden of Eden and added his own thoughts to deceive them, he will tell you the truth and add his own thoughts to make you think otherwise and be misled to do things that God will not be pleased thereafter. The devil also told Christ Jesus the truth about Himself but added his own crafty thoughts to deceive Him, but thank God he did not succeed. 

Every one of us has had their share of the down and the up moments in life, but despite all, we have enjoyed the priceless faithfulness of our God. We may not have been at our very best in life, but He still loves and preserves us to see this day with the assurance of seeing the year to come.   

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.” Ephesians 1:3-12

Though some got more and some got less, but despite what, we should be very grateful for the temporal blessings that we have received, and much more thankful for the spiritual blessings that we have gained.

To have Christ as our advocate is a big blessing. To have Christ as our healer and preserver of our lives is a blessing. To have Christ as our redeemer in times of trouble is the noble, to have Christ as our hope for the future is more than assuring. We might not have gotten all our desires accomplished, but with Him we can face the future with hope and assurance. 

To be heir of God is better than being heir to any noble and rich man on earth. God has truly blessed us with all spiritual blessings, the rarest, the richest, the most enduring of all blessings and the most transforming. You are priceless before Him and there are more in store for you as you remain in Him. Join in this expectationClick here
