“To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.” – Ephesians 1:5 KJV
Child of God, despite the pressures that you may be going through; you are still God’s beloved. God is not indifferent about you.
One key thing that will enable you to enjoy your Christian experience despite the contradictions and shakings all around is never to lose sight of the fact that you are a child of God. You are not going to be a child of God, you are already and as such, you are entitled to the vast resources of Heaven. You have a portion in the land.
Settle it in your heart that as long as your Heavenly Father has no lack in Heaven, you also will not suffer lack on the Earth. Don’t let the devil deceive you into thinking you don’t count. You do! You may not qualify by human standards but rejoice in the fact that God has qualified you. You have been accepted in the beloved despite your shortcomings and there is nothing the devil can do about it.
You need to also understand that, as a beloved of God, you are already blessed because God says so. You have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. It doesn’t matter what you are going through right now, if God says you are blessed, then that settles it. You must, therefore, learn to agree with God that everything that concerns you is blessed. In like manner, settle it in your heart that your finances, health, promotion and family are blessed.
Beloved, another revelation of being accepted in the beloved you must have is that you pre-existed this world. That means you were chosen before the foundation of the world was laid and you are without blame. Men may say you don’t qualify, but God already chose you before the foundations of the earth were laid. And there is nothing anyone can do about it. So rejoice in the knowledge of who you are in Him.
