When God leads us beside still waters, we see ourselves clearly to make any necessary adjustments. (Psalms 23:2)
Saints believe it or not “THERE ARE NO SCORE CARDS IN HEAVEN”
When I was growing up, I was taught the one’s that attended church every time the doors flung open, the most articulate, the one’s who are on every committee, and the best singers are the most righteous and the most anointed in the whole church. Although doing good works and expressing our gifts and talents to God is a great thing, we can not allow ourselves to be justified by them. (Isaiah 64:6)
God is not concerned with how many days you attend church per week,
How many times you prayed yesterday, how many times you have helped someone,
how many times you fasted, how many times you cried, how many times you sinned, how many times you struggled, how many times you were neglected, how many times you were ostracized, how many cakes you made for the bake sale, how you helped the chicken frying committee, how many years you have been on the usher board, how many years you been preaching the gospel. How many clothes you have given to the Goodwill, how much money you have given in church and how many platforms you have stood on to declare the gospel of Jesus Christ. (Galatians 2:16)
We have to understand our divinity in Christ. Jesus came so that we may have life, not church. He came so that we can enjoy one another in Him. When we do this, there is no room for insecurity, no room for worry, no room for anxiety because we all share the same spirit. We may have issues from time to time but ultimately as long as we stay connected to God. We will not just survive but Triumph! We will not just over come the enemy but overcome ourselves. That is why it is so important for us to give God every insecurity that we have harbored from our childhood to present so that we do not outsource a filler for who God say’s we really are. Away with keeping a point system to prove to people that we are over something that happened to us. Resist the temptation to bring up past hurts and past pains, using them as points to make you to always look like the victim. Bitterness from past hurts and past pains serve as a mark that holds you back from entering into paradise (Philippians 3:13)
Here are a few keys:
1) Righteousness is not something you earn, it is something you inherit. (Romans 8:17)
2) The word of God is the charger that you hook to your spirit to power you up.
3) Deny who you are to get what you never had. (Matthew 16:24)
4) When you worship, there is no room for insecurity. (Genesis 22:5)
5) Seeing your circumstance as God sees it will change your perspective. (Matthew 21:14)
6) Doing the same thing expecting a different result will not provoke change.
7) Forgiveness will create paradise in your garden. (1Kings 8:36)
8) Knowing who you are in Christ will sustain you through it all. (Colossians 1:27)
9) Self pity will cause you to loose one of the most precious commodities that God could ever give you, TIME.
10) Do not allow your life to be centered around a negative. Example: “People said that I would never be anything , People said that I would not be successful, People said that I would never get a job, but look at me now baby, I am blessed and highly favored”
