MORE HIGHLY THAN . . .
Romans 12:3
For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
If you have accepted Him know that it is a privilege to be called God's own. Yes, for what we received and became at conversion is so great we really cannot take it lightly. The enemies know, they tremble at it and fight against it. It is believers that belittle it!
This said, let us note that we received it like a child then we grow everyday from the point of taking spiritual milk till when we attain maturity, then we begin to eat spiritual meat.
1Peter 2:2
as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,
Hebrews 5:13
For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.
But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
So believers grow in the knowledge of God, having revelations and doing exploits.
In all these, we always need to remember that we are human and He is God. Yes He is Father and we are sons, we must never go besides ourselves, making ourselves more highly than we ought to.
Malachi 1:6
"A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am the Father, where is My honour
Always remember that the higher we go the more battles we must have fought and won.
Maturity brings about responsibility, do not get carried away.
You don't need to seek distractions, they are everywhere coming with different packages, styles and forms. Don't fall for them, there is much at stake.
So no matter how much exploits the Lord permits us to achieve we must never lose focus of who receives the glory. Selah!
So are you boasting in yourself or something else? Have you forgotten who is in charge? Know that it is because of the Lord's mercy that we are not consumed instead we have triumph and victory over the enemies. So stay humble shun pride and walk in love for love is the nature of God.
Galatians 6:14
As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died.
May the Lord keep us the way He wants us to be.
May we not think ourselves highly than we ought to think.
May we display and enjoy the full measure of the glory God has given us.
We will not be distracted.
We will yet do more exploits.
O help us Good Lord.
PRAYER
Loving Father help me never to think of myself highly than I ought to but to submit to You in all things the I will continually enjoy sonship with You now and through all eternity. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.
He calls us blessed.
Love
@the watcher.
