A Life Of Excellence-Friday, July 29

July 29th, 2016

For we are God’s handiwork (His

 

workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, \[born anew\] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us \[taking paths which He prepared ahead of time\], that we should

 

walk in them \[living the good life which He

 

prearranged and made ready for us to live\]

 

(Ephesians 2:10 AMP).

 

God prepared and planned your life beforehand for His glory. He didn’t create you for defeat, weakness, sadness or failure. He planned a wonderful life for you —a life of excellence. The challenge is that most

 

people are yet to understand God’s good plan for them. In Jeremiah 29:11, He said, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

 

God’s expected end for you is success, victory, honour, and abundance.

 

He prearranged a good life of blessings for you to walk in. It brings to mind what He

 

did before He created Adam. He first created a beautiful garden where everything Adam would require was made available. He then created Adam and placed him in the ready-made Garden of Eden, “…to dress it and to keep it” (Genesis 2:15), not to toil or cultivate the ground afresh.

 

God knew you’d be born at this time and planned ahead for you like every caring father would. That means there’s no need for you to go through life suffering, begging or seeking blessings, because you stepped into God’s destiny for you the moment you

 

were born again. Therefore, enjoy your life, and enjoy all that He’s made available to you.

 

2 Peter 1:3 says, “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.” He’s called you to

 

glory and virtue; that means to a life of excellence.

 

Never think failure, because God has never made a failure. You’re His dream come true; you’re the best of everything that He created: “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be

 

a kind of firstfruits of his creatures” (James 1:18).

 

Confession

Dear Father, I thank you for your life and nature in my spirit, and the life of excellence that I have in Christ Jesus. I’m a winner and a victor forever. I rise higher than the tides of life, because the greater One lives in me. I’m a success forever, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
