BE CONSCIOUS OF GOD'S FAVOUR

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 1 John 3:1

Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

Additional Verses

📖 Romans 5:1-11; 2 Corinthians 3:18; 1 John 3:1-24

God showed perfect understanding for you in that He bestowed upon you the honor of making you His child. Perfect understanding is love and love is the nature of God. You did not qualify for this honor, but God Himself qualified you. You were a sinner and He transformed you to become His righteousness through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believe in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” When God created man in Genesis Chapters 1 and 2, there was no sin at all. Adam and Eve enjoyed life in the presents of God. When Eve and Adam were tempted by the devil this resulted in man being cut off from God. However God so loved man that He gave up what He cherished most and that is His only Son Jesus Christ to redeem you from the power of Satan which is sin and death. It is not that man had done anything to deserve God’s favor, but it was just by God’s grace. This is why 1 John 3:1 above, expresses the manner in which the Father has so highly exalted us that we should be called His children. 1 Peter 2:9 says, “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” Wherever you are therefore, you should be conscious of who you really are. The world cannot tell you that you are God’s child because this is not revealed to them. John 15:19 says, “If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but l chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” This mystery is revealed to you in God’s Word. The Lord Jesus Christ specifically prayed to the Father not to take the believers out of the world, but to protect them from the evil one whilst in this world. This is why you must meditate upon the Word of God day and night and also observe to do what the Word says about you. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 3:18, “And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory are being transformed into his likeness with ever increasing glory, which comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.” The Word of God is our mirror, and so it is important that every day just as you look at yourself in the physical mirror to see if you are presentable to those you are going to meet with, you must also find out from the Word of God about the state of your spirit. Because you are born again, the really you is not that body you see but the really you is the spirit who is in your body. The Word of God will bring to your consciousness all that God has created you for. Everything that you will ever desire to live that good life which God prepared you is all in His Word. However the problem with many children of God is that they do not make time to look into their spiritual mirror and hence their life is a mess. You must know that you are highly favored because the life of Jesus Christ is in you. You were called to a miraculous life. Just as Jesus Christ walked on this planet over two thousand years ago, you also ought to walk in the same way because His same Spirit through Whom He raised the dead, healed the sick and cast out devils, is still the same Holy Spirit who was freely given to you when you believed in Him. Alleluia!

Dear LORD Jesus Christ, I thank You for You are awesome. You always show unconditional love to Your children. I thank You for this love that You have always shown me and for the blessings that You bestow upon me. I thank You for this favor and I ask that You help me to always be conscious that You have highly favored me. In Jesus Christ’s name l pray. Amen
