As humans, we were created in God’s image, and as believers, He has given us great authority by His grace. Genesis 1: 26 -27 26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth”. We were the only creations that were created in His image. Psalm 115:16 (NIV1984) says: “The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to man.” We are His stewards here on earth! Hebrews 2:7 (AMP) says: “You have made him for a little while lower [in status] than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands” this means that your prayers, your faith, your words and your testimony are powerful tools in the hand of God. Once you get that, you will stop allowing the enemy to deceiving you into thinking that you are worthless and powerless. Greater is He that is within you than he that is in the world!
God promises divine protection for them!
One of the blessings of our faithful Heavenly Father is that of divine protection. God promises to protect those who faithfully follow Him and live out their lives with integrity. Your confidence in God and love for God is never in vain. Even though people criticize your faith and integrity, God values your faithfulness. Today, God reminds you that He has seen your love for Him, and your valuable service in his Kingdom. You are precious to Him! God will fully repay those who have persecuted or criticized your life of faith. There is coming a day when you will even receive apologies from some of them. Always remember, our God is Faithful!
Psalm 31:23 “Love the Lord, all you faithful followers of his! The Lord protects those who have integrity, but he pays back in full the one who acts arrogantly”.
