As born-again Christians, we have enough blessings that God has prepared for us and some of them include: protection, provision, good health, the Holy Spirit, grace, success, promotion, peace of heart, joy, access to God through prayer, ability to know things and many more. We should not live as though we are orphans. We are children of the King of kings. We should always give our time to praying and reading the word of God, our Bible so that we can know more of God’s provisions for us and enjoy all that Jesus has for us.
Further Reading: Genesis 12:1-3
Prayer for today: Father, help me to enjoy all that You have provided for me in Jesus’ Name.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
