For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)
INTRODUCTION
Before the beginning of time, our Creator masterfully crafted us with a specific purpose. He has ordained us to walk and complete His works on Earth. Not through our strength, but His.
READY IN CHRIST
In our strength, we can plan and we can try to fulfill those plans all we want, but anytime we build not upon our solid foundation Yeshua Messiah, the structures we build will come tumbling down.
Yeshua came to Earth as our Savior. Upon His death and resurrection, we all were gifted with salvation. Our works do not bring us salvation, believing in Yeshua does. It is believing in His Word that saves us.
When we align with the Will of God and build upon our Chief cornerstone Yeshua Messiah, the House we build will last forever as the scripture confirms in Matthew 7: 24-7 (ESV), “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
Listening to the Words of the Messiah and applying them in our lives, will bear the kind of fruit that will withstand any storm or attack. And the House we build upon His word, aligning ourselves with who He claims us to be, will never fall. Even when the storm comes it will stand, and even if the wind tries to swipe it away it will not fail.
Abba has prepared us that we would fulfill the works He called us to fulfill through the readiness of Christ. We are never ready to face the enemy on our own. But when we put on the full armor of God, when we gird ourselves with Christ Jesus, we will be ready to run towards our finish line swiftly. To run towards the fulfillment of all the good works, we have been called to fulfill and towards the victory won for us by Yeshua Messiah. Let us be
READY
IN YESHUA MESSIAH!
CONCLUSION
We were sent on Earth to fulfill a certain purpose. Abba purposefully crafted us to complete certain works for His kingdom. But we will never be able to accomplish them on our own. To walk in the fullness of our calling we need to gird ourselves with Christ Jesus and be ready with His readiness. Then we will be able to accomplish the good works we were predestined to accomplish.
Application
Dear Heavenly Father, awaken us every morning to your great presence. Pour upon us great wisdom to seek you out first thing in the morning. And let us gird ourselves in your strength to accomplish all the great things you have called us to fulfill each day.
