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!
