Today’s Reading:
Psalm 139:14.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Marvellous are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well. In the above scripture, David is praising God having realised that he is fearfully and wonderfully made. These are two very strong words to describe who we are.
The words evoke awe and wonder.
In Genesis 1 vs 26 God said let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the three realms of creation; the heavens, the earth and the waters.
We are meant to carry the very nature of God in perfection and beauty.
Alas, Satan came and polluted the beautiful thing that God was trying to make and sowed all sorts of wickedness in the heart of man. The result is a far cry from what God intended.
But then came in Jesus, to restore the original masterplan in perfection and holiness. That is why God is making two demands on every born-again child of God:
Perfection
Holiness
The devil has succeeded in making Christians lose focus of what God originally intended for us- to be like Him and exhibit His nature. I tell you; it is a very beautiful realm to get to, perfection and holiness. It makes every other thing in life pale into insignificance. Psalm 82 vs 6 describes us as gods and children of the most High. As Christians, we need to up our game in our relationship with God, and take our rightful place in His kingdom.

Prayers:
Bless the Lord, O my soul, O Lord my God, thou are very great; thou are clothed with honour and majesty.
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain.
My Father, I thank You for making me a wonderful person in the name of Jesus.
God restore to me my rightful place in Your master plan in the name of Jesus
God arise and lift me up where no one can bring me down in the name of Jesus
Lord restore Your church to its rightful place, in the name of Jesus
God intervene in situation of our nation, in the name of Jesus.
