You can and should shape up by placing great value on yourself. And there are many reasons why you should place great value on yourself.
To start with, you
are created in the image of God, the Creator and Owner of the universe to Whom
alone everything submits. Besides, God instructed you to have control; take
charge of, exercise dominion over His creation. This is to say that God places
great value on you and expects you to do same. Please read Genesis Chapter 1
verse 28 and Psalm 8. Beloved, if you take ample time to study Genesis Chapter
1, you will discover that humans are the only ones created in the image of God,
designed to think and act like God; relate to and with God which explains why
the Bible says you are gods.
You are therefore
very important, very unique, and very special to God. You therefore have
absolutely no reason for you to undervalue yourself and subject yourself or
allow yourself to be subjected to indignity by anyone or circumstances. If you
are the one subjecting yourself to indignity, you have the benefit of repenting
of that sin and celebrating the extravagant grace, mercy, love and compassion
of God in your life by choosing to live life in full as God designed life for
you from the foundation of the world. Do not forget that He provided everything
which Adam and Eve would ever require by giving them the beautiful Garden of
Eden; significantly not to till but to maintain. Beloved, God loves you and has
made available for you everything you would require to live life to the
fullest. It is not a sin to live in great wealth, enjoy luxury living and peace
in the land. It is your birthright given to you by God. Though Adam and Eve
lost it through carelessness and sin, Jesus Christ regained it for you and I
through His shed blood on Calvary.
The purpose of
extravagant grace is for shaping up spiritually, mentally and physically and
financially. Shaping up spiritually calls for a more committed relationship
with God in which you gain spiritual weight. How?
You spend quality
time with God, pay attention to the Holy Spirit, and respond promptly to the
instructions of the Holy Spirit.
Eat right, the pure undiluted word of God. Feed fat on the word of God – read and study large portions of the word of God on a daily basis.
Give the Holy Spirit more space in every area of your life.
Request fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit. Greater sensitivity to the Holy
Spirit. Prompt obedience to the Holy
Spirit at all times and not when you think it is convenient or wise to do so. To succeed, you need The Holy Spirit as your
Helper. Please see Psalm 115 verses 9 to 15, Isaiah Chapter 61 verses 1 to 7,
Luke Chapter 4 verses 16 to 19, and Isaiah Chapter 41 verses 10 to 14. Divine
direction usually comes by the Holy Spirit.
He led Simeon to the temple in Luke Chapter 2 verses 26 to 27; led Jesus
Christ to the wilderness in Luke Chapter 4 verse 1.
He will lead you to
the divine heights God ordained for you from the foundation of the world if you
choose to walk with Him in total obedience. May God in His infinite mercy and
grace grant you the wisdom to always do so in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
