TRUE SELF CONCEPT; A KEY TO EFFECTIVE LIVING.
Humans are part of God's products, part of the work of his hands, this thus means that any true information about humans is found in the mind of their maker.
Samsung company is the sole true source of information about samsung equipment. It has the information a bout the purpose of its equipments, their abilities, their operational mode, their dos , donts and the environment in which they effectively perform their purpose.
The same principle applies to humans as well. We are God's handwork and therefore any information reguarding why we exist and how we operate effectively on earth exist in the mind of God.
Therefore,let us get the true infrmation from our maker in his product manual(bible).
Isaiah 64:6 " But we are all as unclean thing and all our righteousness are as filthy rags........................."
Romans 3:23 -24 "For all have sinned and come short of glory of God. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus."
Here is your key to effective living.
When we come to the understanding of this reality then , our perceptions will begin to change. Once you realise that you are not any better than the rest without the grace of God , there will be a great shift in how you interpret people's actions and reactions.
The consciousness that the difference between you and the unbliever is the only the grace of God will ignite compassion for the world and produce a zeal in you to reach to them with grace.
This self awareness of your status in the presence of God will help you understand that it is not by your power but by the grace of God. This then will:
●breed humility and surpress pride.
●breed compassion and surpress anger and hatred
●Change your attitude to words fellow brethren
●Create an environment of Peace and harmony for yourself first and those around you. Be it your workmates, family members, relatives or friends who may not have received the grace yet.
Inotherwords, your relationships will begin to flourish as you pray fo r them to receive such a previllage; the grace of God. You know why? Without the grace of God, you would just be like them.
Apostle Paul reminds us to always pray for those still in bonds that they be set free. Hebrews 13:3 "Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them ; and them which suffer adversity as being yourselves also in the body."
This statement reminds us that we were just like they are and therefore invites us to bear with them in patience, long suffering,faith ,truth, understanding and grace. Paul asks us to pray for them because somebody out there prayed for your salvation, in the same manner we are called to intercede for our wives, husbands, children, relatives and friends.
Here is another key, you can never pray for someone you hate or despise , this obligation requires that you release the hate first and do the intercession. This offcourse sets you free and fills you with compassion instead of bitterness. Now instead of devising mischief against them, you confort, inspire, counsel, and encourage then as you communicate the love of God to them.
Lastly, understand that God doesn't rejoice in death of rebellious people therefore stop wishing them hell and cursing them. Like any good father, God does not take pleasure in death of rebellious children but rather would love to see them turn from their wicked ways to submission again so that they may live. Ezekiel 33:11"Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?"
Get hold of these keys today, unlock the true concept of who you are in the LORD, build genuine relationships and live effectively. Let love, peace, joy, harmony and justice prevail wherever you step.
GOD BLESS YOU.
