Inherent Greatness!

Saturday, January 16th .
Pastor Chris

And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise (Galatians 3:29).

I'll always be successful, because Christ lives in me, and I'm the seed of Abraham. This should be your mindset also. You've been fashioned to be a success in life. You're excellent, and God expects you to do excellent things. But beyond excellence, you're also great.

There're three ways you become great: one is to be born great; another is to achieve greatness; and the third way is to have greatness conferred on you. Now, Jesus was born great; He achieved greatness, and also had greatness conferred on Him. And the beautiful thing about this is, He bequeathed all of His greatness to us! This is remarkable. We were born great, in Christ Jesus! Therefore, greatness is in you.

The things you do ought to be great, because you have inherent greatness! Have the consciousness of who you are in Christ, and constantly walk in the paths God shows you in His Word, for they're paths of greatness. When you were born again, the seed of greatness was planted in your spirit. In Genesis 12:2, God said to Abraham, "And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing."

God further promised to give the whole world to Abraham, and He did. The Bible says Abraham obeyed God and inherited the promise. But the promise wasn't only to Abraham; it was to Abraham and his seed and the Bible says that Jesus Christ is that seed: "Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ" (Galatians 3:16).

Our opening verse says if we belong to Christ, then we're Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. The promise of greatness to Abraham is today our present-hour inheritance in Christ Jesus.

           CONFESSION

I was born great! I'm ordained for greatness; therefore,
I do great things in Christ Jesus! Halleluiah!

Further Study: || Galatians 3:7-9 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. ||

|| Genesis 26:13-14 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: 14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. ||
