There Are Good Things In You
That the communication of thy faith may become
effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing
which is in you in Christ Jesus
(Philemon 1:6).
For you to be effective in the communication of
your faith, there has to be an acknowledgement
of the good things in you. There’re no bad things in
you. Some people don’t know this, so they’re always
looking for something that’s wrong with them. They’re
always talking themselves down, focusing always on
their inabilities, disabilities, and frustrations. That’s not
right! There are good things in you, and you’ve got to
acknowledge them.
As a child of God, the very life of God is in you:
“To whom God would make known what is the riches
of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which
is Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27).
Christ is in you; He lives in your heart. Acknowledge it.
Affirm that greater is He that’s in you than he that’s in
the world. This means you’re not an ordinary person.
You have the ability of God and excellence of the Spirit
in you. You can reign in this life because you have the
righteousness of God. You’re special!
Why is it so important to acknowledge the
good things in you in Christ Jesus? It’s because
they’re spiritual and are actualized or activated by
acknowledgement. The Bible says, “They know
not, neither will they understand; they walk on in
darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of
course. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are
children of the most High. But ye shall die like men,
and fall like one of the princes” (Psalm 82:5-7).
The above verses are very revealing. It shows why
many live miserably and die like ordinary men, even
though they’re gods and children of the Most High.
They’ve never acknowledged who they are, what they
have, their abilities and potentials in Christ Jesus; this
has made their faith ineffective.
Confession
As I meditate on God’s Word, my spirit is programmed for
absolute mastery, success, and transcendental blessings. I’m
blessed and highly favoured. The lines are fallen unto me in
pleasant places. I have a goodly heritage. Everything that belongs
to me is glorious and wonderful. Hallelujah!
