We Have Been So Honoured


Warning: Upon reading this you will have written yourself off as a failure for the last time!

‘Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Anointed One, who grants us every spiritual blessing in these heavenly realms where we live in the Anointed—not because of anything we have done, but because of what He has done for us. God chose us to be in a relationship with Him even before He laid out plans for this world; He wanted us to live holy lives characterized by love, free from sin, and blameless before Him. He destined us to be adopted as His children through the covenant Jesus the Anointed inaugurated in His sacrificial life. This was His pleasure and His will for us.
Ultimately God is the one worthy of praise for showing us His grace; He is merciful and marvelous, freely giving us these gifts in His Beloved. Visualize this: His blood freely flowing down the cross, setting us free! We are forgiven for our sinful ways by the richness of His grace, which He has poured all over us. With all wisdom and insight, He has enlightened us to the great mystery at the center of His will. With immense pleasure, He laid out His intentions through Jesus…’
Eph 1:3-9 The Voice

Wow! – How important we are to our Father – I know religious mindsets don’t like this kind of message and accuse us of a man-centred faith rather than a God-centred faith, but who cares?
I want people to stop writing themselves off and see the potential they have through Christ to live life to the full and accomplish awesome things in line with His purpose.

I have heard it said –‘we honour others not because they are honourable but because God is Love and Love has honoured us and therefore we honour.’

But I say if you know the honour Love has honoured you with then you understand that He has already honoured all people with the same love also, making them inherently honourable. Therefore we honour what Love honours.

Love has carried us with eagle’s wings out of the desert of doubt and fear and brought us into the promised land of grace and limitlessness.
The wrath of God was never against you it was against sin – He took on sin to eradicate sin from you.

We have been honoured with such lavish grace. Grace is love in manifestation.
Lets be givers of grace as well as receivers. Let us honour God, and our neighbour with the same honour we have been given. All I can say to end this post is I am so thankful for the truth of all that Jesus accomplished for us at Calvary. It is amazing. He is amazing and I am so thankful that I am called to be a winner in life because of Him and to be a significant part of His plan to restore all things back to His original intention. Awesome!
