"Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long suffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye." - Colossians 3:12-13
Dear Friends,
Congratulations! You have been elected. We have been elected. Elected "of" God. We are elected to be holy and we are beloved in Christ Jesus. It is He who has made our election sure. The enemy has no power to impeach us. Elected to show mercy and kindness. We have been elected to walk in humility. We are to be clear in our understanding that the One who reigns in office does sit on high.We take our orders from The Most High God. This is the source of our humility. We can do nothing in our own strength. We serve at God's command. Elected to be meek. Jesus teaches us that "the meek shall inherit the earth." Elected to be long suffering. Wait on the Lord.
Knowing this divine appointment, this privilege we have as servants of Christ we should be shouting!
We have been forgiven. God elected to do so through Jesus Christ. Jesus elected, He chose, He decided to die for you and I. Picture Him, the Divinely Elected of God riding on a donkey being praised and celebrated by the crowd one week, and been crucified as many of the same crowd looked on about a week later.
Let us stay with the celebration crowd, the real Hosanna group. Let us cry aloud knowing we are forgiven and forgive others.
Glory! Ain't nobody gonna steal our joy. The only "recount" is recounting all the blessings! Name them. Go on! Count your blessings, ELECTED OF GOD.
Thank you Jesus! Hosanna! Blessed be the Rock!
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie
