Going to church, reading the bible, listening to Christian music will not advance your spiritual life. These activities may give you more understanding but until you are ready to lay down your life and take up your cross this leads nowhere.

What I am talking about is the sacrifice of self to advance the cause of Jesus Christ in the world. There is a destiny that God had for each of us that only we can personally discover. We can discover it only by detaching from the world and making ourselves available for the Holy Spirit. By detaching from the world--now you have time--the commodity that most Christians are not willing to give.

Jesus said, "Self-help is not help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, to finding yourself, your true self. (Matthew 16:25)

"God has planted eternity in the human heart." (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

"Anyone who lets himself be distracted from the work I plan for him is not fit for the Kingdom of God." (Luke 9:62)

"The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me." (Acts 20:24)

"We have been sent to speak for Christ." (2 Corinthians 5:20)

"We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2:10)

Our Vast Inheritance

Posted 07-17-2023 at 11:40 AM by Albert Finch



Ephesians 2:10 - "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them."


Understand and meditate on your Christ identity. Never think of your lack -- think of the vast inheritance that is yours, for you know that He has given you the ability to enjoy all that belongs to you as you advance His Kingdom through your Christ calling.

"Giving thanks unto the Father, who has given us the ability to enjoy our share of the inheritance of the saints in light" - Colossians 1:12. You come to discover and understand your Christ identity through affirming and meditating on the epistles of Paul -- you receive His favor by embarking on His revealed purpose for your life as you bless and change the lives of others.

You move from glory to glory-- bearing Kingdom fruit that remains in your Christ calling. You were created in Christ. There is no limit to your walk and to your ability.
