Called Into A Life of Greatness

PR Log (Press Release) – Sep 21, 2009 – And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing (Genesis 12:2)

Some people have the erroneous belief that there’re certain people whom God specially favors and blesses, and that such people are the ones called of God into a life of greatness. Well, not when you’re born again, for God chose all of us-His kids to be great, and desires to use each one of us mightily in our own unique ways to fulfill His purpose in the earth.
Everyone that’s born of God has in him or her the seed of greatness. We are the people who have been called to greatness. Unlike the children of Israel, whose greatness was preconditioned on their obedience to the Law of Moses to the letter, we, the new creation of Christ in Christ were born great. Now we don’t need to strive to keep any of those Laws anymore because they’ve been abolished (Ephesians 2:15), and we’re called obedient children (1 Peter 1:14). It’s our nature to walk in obedience to God’s Spirit when we know His will.
Never suppose that your greatness n life is dependent upon your works, for the Bible says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). Unlike the children of Israel who were judged according to their works, God has chosen to bring you into an everlasting love relationship by grace. If only you’d recognize and understand that God is your Father, you’d think, act and walk in the path of greatness that He’s called you to.

Prayer
Dear Lord, I thank you for calling me into a life of greatness, glory and virtue. As I study your Word and see myself in the Word, I see my greatness! Thank you for causing me to move forward, wax great, and become very great; I go forth in this greatness to accomplish great things for your Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen
