TAKE YOUR PLACE.

“for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.”
1 John 5:4
Main Text: Main Text: Deuteronomy 20:4

You have a place in the world you have been ordained to possess! Jesus came into the world to give you the victory. He saw how frail we were being oppressed by the devil and exchanged His strengths for our weaknesses. He took your sin to give you, His righteousness. He took your sickness to give you, His health. He took your poverty in order to meet all your needs according to His riches in glory.

Embracing the truth of Ephesians 2:6, we realize that our lives are not confined to the limitations of earthly circumstances alone. We've been raised to sit with Christ in heavenly places, a divine elevation that shapes the very essence of our day-to-day existence. This understanding transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. We don't navigate life merely as survivors; we live gloriously, recognizing that every moment is an opportunity to manifest the richness of God's grace and the power of our union with Christ.

Jesus, in His redemptive mission, didn't just secure our eternity; He equipped us with everything we need for life and godliness in the present. We are not left wanting, for His provision empowers us to face each day with confidence, knowing that we have access to the abundance of His grace. We must rise to take our place by Christ Jesus our Lord.

Prayer:

Thank you, Father for your grace, I possess my possessions and take my place in this world in Jesus name. Amen.
