No Need To Cry
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 (2 Peter 1:3).
The Christian is born an heir of God, and a joint heir with Christ. It’s important therefore to know and discover the things that belong to you
in Christ; otherwise, you could live a sad and sorry life, instead of the transcendent life He’s
given us.
Many wallow in pain and penury, crying every day to God for help, simply because they’re ignorant
of His Word. They don’t know, and therefore can’t take advantage of their rights and blessings in
Christ.
A dear Christian lady told a story. She had been chronically sick in the hospital, and given up to
die. In her frustration, she said, “I cried every day to God, hoping He’d hear my cries and do
something about my situation.” Then she got a hold of our teachings, and the messages stirred faith
in her spirit. She learnt that Jesus came that we might have and enjoy life to the full; no need to
cry and beg God for anything. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ on our behalf has put an end to all of
man’s suffering and pain.
Hitherto, she’d been crying and praying, hoping that God would hear her, but when she received
the Word and acted on it, she arose, healed by God’s power.
There’s no need to cry anymore! If you choose, you can have a wonderful life. You can walk in the
glory of God every day. This is the life of the Christian, provided by the death, burial, and
resurrection of Jesus Christ. Your role is to know the Word for yourself; the Bible says through
knowledge shall the just be delivered into their inheritance (Proverbs 11:9).
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the gift of your Son Jesus, who died and was raised back to life for my justification, that I may
live a glorified life. I walk in the light of my victory and righteousness in Christ, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
