Daily Meditations And Affirmations - February26, 2025
John 15:16 - "You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you."
Many Christians never progress beyond the basic principles of the gospel: others -- the minority -- demonstrate the abundant riches of God's grace. The preacher's task should be to preach of the fullness of grace and the fruit-bearing potential for Believers as they advance God's Kingdom through Jesus Christ.
Christians need to become aware of God's purpose for their lives and be encouraged to believe that a life of abundance in the fullness of the Spirit is meant for them.
Ask yourself whether you are living in the abundant fruit-bearing life that Jesus came to give you. If you are, it will be evidenced in your love for Jesus and a revelation of your calling in Christ, bearing fruit that remains -- winning and discipling others into their life in Christ.
Colossians 2:10 - "And you have been given full life in union with him…" Ephesians 2:10 - "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
You have a unique purpose and a destiny that is distinct from any other person who has ever lived.
If you are more concerned about people's opinion of you than God's vision for you, then give in to peer pressure, and fit in with everyone else. Dress like them -- Act like them -- Eat what they eat -- Spend 70 hours a week watching television like they do -- live on credit like they do, satisfied with barely getting by -- Go where they go -- Think like they think -- talk like they talk.
Be courageous enough to claim your oneness with Christ and affirm your ability to rise to greater heights than the herd. You're a rising star in the Kingdom of God. You have inside you the courage and stamina to push away the negativity of conformity. Invite the upward call of Christ in your life to come in and become the world changer you were meant to be.
