Do You Know You Have Been Prepared For A Life Of Good Works??




Dear Christians,
our job is to locate our future from God's scriptures and God's job is to perform that which we have seen in His word. No wonder God told Abram in Gen. 13:15 "for all the land which you see, to you I will give it and to your seed forever" God has admonished us to search for ourselves and see for ourselves, He said in Isaiah 21:6, "go, set a watchman, let him declare what he sees" So we must declare what we see for as far as our eyes can see, so shall He give to us that is why some Christians are not living a life of good works because they have not seen it, so God cannot give it to them.
So, how do I know that God has prepared us for a life of good deeds, let's take a look at Ephesians 2:10. Apostle Paul speaking there, he said, "For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them". when I encountered this truth of the Word of God, I became soo curious to know exactly what these good works are, that God has already planned for us to walk in, then God started revealing unto me many dimensions of good works which He has already planned for us not that we have to work hard for it, No, as children of God we just inherit it.
Speaking about the dimensions of Good works;
1. Good deeds in the dimension of morals: 1 Tim 5:10, Apostle Paul speaking, "well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work".
2. Good deeds in the dimension of what people see in you and around you and glorify God: 1 Peter 2:12 says, having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that whereas they speak against you as evil doers, they may by your good works, which they may behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
3. Good deeds are also miracles, signs and wonders, simply put, the life of Christ. John 10:32, Jesus speaking " many good works have I showed you from My Father, for which of those works do you stone Me?". Jesus was referring to the miracles He performed, He healed the sick, raised the dead, fed the multitudes, calmed the storm and performed other miracles signs and wonders we are not told of in the Bible.
4. Good deeds are works that are clearly seen. everyone must see it clearly, and if up till now you are still hiding your identity as a Christian, I pray that you receive grace today. 1 Tim 5:25, says Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hidden.
5. Good deeds are eruptions of signs and wonders in our live by the mighty hand of God in our lives, James 3:18 "And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace". and from the beatitudes in Matthew 5:9, Jesus stated that peacemakers shall be called Children of God and for anyone to call us children of God they must see the eruption of signs and wonders in us. take for example the case of Daniel while in the lion's den unhurt, to the amazement of the king and everyone. the king called him, Daniel Servant of the living God.

the good news is that we have already been prepared for all these great gifts, we are to manifest them naturally. good deed is not a reward or achievement, it is a gift, it is our inheritance in Christ.
Titus 3:5, "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost".
Titus 3:8 says "This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that you affirm constantly that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. these things are good and profitable to men."
we must maintain good works, we have been called unto good works, that sin can leave you only if you meditate in the Word of God and believe in it. Jesus said in Luke 1:45 "And blessed is she that believed for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord"

Redemption, which is being born again in Christ is our only access to the manifestation of all our inheritance in Christ contained in the word of God. if you are not saved, you are not safe, if you are not sure, then you are not saved. if you would like to give your life to Christ, say this prayer and mean it,
"Lord Jesus, I have come to You today, I accept that I am a sinner and I confess my sins and repent from them. I believe that You died on the cross of Calvary for my sins. Thank You for forgiving me. today I am saved, I am born again. thank You Jesus". if you said this prayer congratulations, you are now a child of God begin now to believe and enjoy your inheritance in Christ but remember as far as your eyes can see, God will give you. Be Blessed.
