God can do what men think it’s impossible. He can turn situations around for your good. He can change your standard of living from today. But do you believe He can do it?
God may have shown you glimpses of your future, how bright it is or will be. But when you compare where you are today and the beautiful imagination about your life in mind, you just cannot trace your path there. Let me encourage you: it is worth the wait. Grow through the process.
Your life has already been foreordained to walk in good works (Ephesians 2:10). So it’s not merely about anything your hands find doing, but fulfilling divine purpose. Look out for God’s will before executing your decisions, even the most carefully thought-out ones.
In Ephesians 3:20, one of Paul’s concluding exhortations in a part of the letter to the Ephesian church, it’s written that there’s a God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you ask or even think. But by what means does he do this? – According to the power at work in you. And what’s that power? It’s the same power that raised Jesus from the dead – the power of His resurrection (Philippians 3:10, Romans 8:11). That power lives in you ever since you got saved (John 1:12).
When Jesus saved you, He didn’t isolate you. No! He placed you in a family – the worldwide family of believers in Christ, especially those in your local church. And because of their presence in your life, you ought to know and experience that you belong to Christ Jesus. Therefore, you’re a member of God’s household.
Jesus, the person of grace, has a throne (Hebrews 4:16) and a kingdom (Colossians 1:13). So for Him (grace) to reign through righteousness means He is committed to doing you good, no matter what. He’ll never run short of resources to do you that.
It may seem your life circumstances contradict what God told you to do now. But I assure you that, He will bring what He has said to pass.
Child of God, you are married to Jesus. And since marriage comes with faithfulness, you only owe allegiance to Jesus – to submit and serve Him with all gladness at heart. All the fruits you’ll ever bear in God’s kingdom are totally dependent on your relationship with Him.
Live in your “now” of God as active in Christ, not how you lived in waywardness before becoming saved.
In John 7:38, Jesus highlights what it means to have multiple streams of impact out of even your uttermost bad parts of your life on one condition — if you believe on Him. That means a lot to us, the children of God.
Instead of doubting God’s promises about your life, ask Him for explanations. Stay with Him until You hear him answer all your questions so that your faith in His Word will stand strong. For that is what Mary did to Angel Gabriel until her faith in giving birth to Jesus stand strong despite challenges surrounding it.
Ephesians 2:6 tells us that God has raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. So God has changed your spiritual position from a realm of deadness in sins to an honourable place in His Son’s kingdom.
