Possessing the right perspective is a powerful weapon of warfare. Everything we lose while we serve God, we really never lose it!!! When we apparently lose something in the Kingdom of God, it is a temporary situation because God will replace it with something better and more beneficial. Many times what we lose was actually unnecessary and even harmful to our future and destiny. Mark 10:28-30 says: “Peter said to him, “We have left everything to follow you!” “I tell you the truth,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields-and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life”. Notice: God will restore it in this life, and grants us eternal life in Christ. So instead of always thinking loss, remember that you are part of the Kingdom of God, and if you do lose something, it will be replaced with something far better, Hallelujah!
Release the masterpiece!
Ephesians 2:10 “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” The word Workmanship is the greek word Poiema which means: poetry, masterwork, work of art, His creation, accomplishment, masterpiece. We were created for good works!
- This means that we are capable of doing amazing things for God’s glory. It’s not only a certain breed of person that can do good works. We all have that potential. We all are God’s masterpiece.
- Unfortunately, there are a lot of masterpieces that never get displayed, so the world misses out on the joy of their beauty.God gave each of us wonderful gifts and abilities. However, it’s up to us to walk in those gifts.a) He set us in His Body by His grace! b) God set us in the Body as it pleased Him! 1 Corinthians 12:18. c) God set us in His Body for the profit of all! 1 Corinthians 12:7 d) There are no unnecessary members in the Body 1 Corinthians 12:22
Since you are already part of His Body, and it pleases Him that you are set in His Body, it’s time to release the masterpiece within you.
