READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. A LIFE OF EXCELLENCE - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME. FRIDAY, JULY 29TH 2016.
For
we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus,
[born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned
beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we
should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready
for us to live] (Ephesians 2:10 AMP).
God
prepared and planned your life beforehand for His glory. He didn’t create you
for defeat, weakness, sadness or failure. He planned a wonderful life for you—a
life of excellence. The challenge is that most people are yet to understand
God’s good plan for them. In Jeremiah 29:11, He said, “For I know the thoughts
that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to
give you an expected end.”
God’s
expected end for you is success, victory, honor, and abundance. He prearranged
a good life of blessings for you to walk in. It brings to mind what He did
before He created Adam. He first created a beautiful garden where everything
Adam would require was made available. He then created Adam and placed him in
the ready-made Garden of Eden, “…to dress it and to keep it” (Genesis 2:15),
not to toil or cultivate the ground afresh.
God
knew you’d be born at this time and planned ahead for you like every caring
father would. That means there’s no need for you to go through life suffering,
begging or seeking blessings, because you stepped into God’s destiny for you
the moment you were born again. Therefore, enjoy your life, and enjoy all that
He’s made available to you.

Peter 1:3 says, “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things
that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath
called us to glory and virtue.” He’s called you to glory and virtue; that means
to a life of excellence. Never think failure, because God has never made a
failure. You’re His dream come true; you’re the best of everything that He
created: “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be
a kind of firstfruits of his creatures” (James 1:18).
PRAYER
Dear
Father, I thank you for your life and nature in my spirit, and the life of
excellence that I have in Christ Jesus. I’m a winner and a victor forever. I
rise higher than the tides of life, because the greater One lives in me. I’m a
success forever, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
