WE ARE NOT DEFINED BY WORLD STANDARDS

“He has come from above and is greater than anyone else. We are of the earth, and we speak of earthly things, but he has come from heaven and is greater than anyone else.

John 3:31 NLT

I John 4:17 tells us that " as He is, so are we in this world." Yet many children of God have belittled themselves to the dictates of the system of this world, worrying about pandemic, hardships, and rumors of wars.

Beloved we are not of this world, we are born from above. Our daily sustenance is from above and not from this world. I John 4:9 tells us that we live our lives through Christ. We are not defined by this world standards, so is Jesus, for we are dead to it. The Lord said "They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. (John 17:16 ) So, Don't define yourself with our earthly circumstances.

Remember what He said about John the Baptist “Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.(Matthew 11:11)

So, we are born great, and even the least among us in Christ is greater than those in the world. That is why the Bible tells us "If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God" (Colossians 3:1 NKJV)

WE PRAY FOR THE GRACE NOT TO ALLOW OUR EARTHLY CIRCUMSTANCES TO DEFINE US IN JESUS NAME AMEN!

THANK YOU JESUS!
