MAIN THEME IS: WHY AM I HERE?

TITLE: HERE TO REIGN

 The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Romans 5:17 (NIV)

”For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!”

Devotional:

I believe we all agree that if a child is born to an earthly King or ruler, he/she naturally is a prince or princess and automatically is expected to assume rulership when the time comes.

As children of God, we need to always remind ourselves that we are God’s handiwork /workmanship predestined for good works as stated in Ephesians 2:10. Today’s bible text also reminds us that we have received the abundant grace of God and the free gift of righteousness,  and so we ought to reign in life through Jesus Christ (as we carry out the assignments he has programmed for us to do).

I like that it says we ought to reign in life through Jesus Christ because sometimes when we review our experiences in life, some of them do not appear like we are reigning in life, or certain aspects of life don't have the results that suggest we are reigning right?

Well, it is God’s plan for us to reign in life. But as earthly princes or princesses need to learn and grow physically and mentally in their domain, we too are expected to grow in God and grow in the areas where we are not at our best.

Go at life with a rulership mindset, we are princes and princesses of the most High King. Be willing to unlearn and relearn to move forward in all aspects of life, and be full of gratitude while at it - ‘ You have the victory’!! Hallelujah!!!

Here are a few reflective questions:

• What areas of my life am I reigning?
• What areas of my life am I not reigning?
• How can I access the help I need in the areas identified above?

Let us pray:

Dear God, thank you for your great plan for my life. I ask that you help me cooperate with you as I grow and enter into all the areas of rulership you have destined for me in Jesus' name. Amen.

 Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

• I am here because I rule and reign in life through Jesus Christ.
• I have the wisdom and resources to conquer my world.
• I have the victory! Hallelujah!!

Go rule your world, giving glory to God. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow!
