Previously, I informed you that unaddressed FAULTY FAMILY FOUNDATION can be one of a CHILD OF GOD in Christ hindrances to DIVINE DESTINY discovery and fulfilment in Christ in this World. Read write-up (5) of this series for more.
For today, one of the hindrances to DIVINE DESTINY discovery and fulfilment in Christ in this World is COMPARING of oneself to another person or people instead of JESUS CHRIST only.
The Bible reveals that those who COMPARE themselves with others are not WISE. That is, it is wise and smart to stay within your measure (your specific and unique DIVINE DESTINY area and responsibility) given to you by God in Christ in this World. (2 Corinthians 10:12-18).
Are YOU a WISE and SMART person in this regard?
The Bible reveals that GOD created each person specifically and uniquely and gave each person at least a specific and unique GIFT and CALLING to specifically and uniquely MANIFEST in Christ in this World. True! (Romans 12:1-3; 1 Corinthians 12; Romans 11:29).
You have a specific and unique GIFTS and CALLING (divine destiny mandate) of God in Christ in this World. (Romans 11:29).
JESUS CHRIST who is the ultimate ROLE MODEL of every genuine CHILD OF GOD says that GREATER works than He did, that you and I, who believe in Him will do in Him in this World individually, specifically and uniquely. (Hebrews 12:1-3; John 14:12-21).
JESUS CHRIST is saying that the works He did while He was physically in this World shall be the MINIMUM works for you and I, who believe in Him in this World. Hmm! (1 John 4:17).
In other words, JESUS CHRIST is saying, I am continuing from where I STOPPED, when I was physically here in the World, through YOU, because I am NOW in YOU individually, specifically and uniquely walking and working FORWARD and doing GREATER good works in the World than I (Jesus Christ) did when I am physically here in the World. (Colossians 1:27; Philippians 2:13; 2 Corinthians 6:16-18; Ephesians 2:5-10).
JESUS CHRIST is saying, I am moving from GREAT works that I did physically to GREATER good works I want to do in this World through YOU individually, specifically and uniquely. Halleluyah!
JESUS CHRIST is saying I am moving from faith to faith and glory to glory through ME in YOU (Christ) in this World. Halleluyah! ( Colossians 1:27; Romans 1:16-17; 2 Corinthians 3:17,18).
Do you get it?
So, JESUS CHRIST is expecting you and I to individually, specifically and uniquely do GREATER works in Him than He did in this World, when He was here physically. This is because He is in US individually, specifically and uniquely working FORWARD and GREATER than He did, when He was physically here in this World. Halleluyah! (John 16:13,14).
Therefore, why are you, a genuine CHILD OF GOD in Christ in this World, LIMITING yourself or LIMITING Christ in and through your life by COMPARING yourself with your fellow human BEINGS, rather than COMPARING yourself with JESUS CHRIST (God) Himself, who is saying that you will do GREAT works He did as a starting point and GREATER ones He did not do because He is now in YOU individually, specifically and uniquely working FORWARD and GREATER through YOU in this World. Halleluyah! Interesting! What a privilege?
Therefore, as a genuine CHILD OF GOD in Christ in this World:
the real reason you are thinking, speaking and living GROUNDED, not GREAT, is because your EYES are not truly fixed on JESUS CHRIST. This is because, no one who truly and comparatively FOCUS on Jesus Christ, thinks, speaks and lives GROUNDED (limited) in Him in this World. It is impossible! You may starts grounded (limited), but never end grounded. Never! True! (Genesis 12:1-3; Galatians 3:13,14; Philippians 4:13).
the real reason you are thinking, speaking and living in SCARCITY, not in SUFFICIENCY is because your EYES are not truly fixed on JESUS CHRIST. This is because, no one who truly and comparatively FOCUS on Jesus Christ, thinks, speaks and lives in SCARCITY (lack) in Him in this World. It is impossible! You may in scarcity (lack), but never end in scarcity. Never! True! (Matthew 6:25-33; Philippians 4:19).
the real reason you are thinking, speaking and living LOCALLY, not GLOBALLY, is because your EYES are not truly fixed on JESUS CHRIST. This is because, no one who truly and comparatively FOCUS on Jesus Christ, thinks, speaks and lives LOCALLY (a commoner) in Him in this World. It is impossible! You may starts locally (a commoner), but never end locally. Never! True! (Mark 16:15-18; Acts 1:8).
Remember this, if you COMPARE yourself with others, you feel BAD and UNHAPPY, when they think, speak and live better than you. Likewise, you feel PROUD and BOASTFUL, when you think, speak and live better than them. This is an illusion and fallacy unknown to you and you alone. This is because God truly and originally thought, designed, created and saved each person in Christ individually, specifically and uniquely in this World. True! (Ephesians 2:5-10).
However, when you COMPARE yourself with JESUS CHRIST as the Word of God asks us to do, you feel HUMBLE and UNSATISFIED, always wanting to be your best and do your best, knowing you are lacking so much to catch up with the CHARACTER and COMPETENCE of Jesus Christ and His GREAT works, not to talk of the GREATER works He is expecting to do through YOU in this World. True! (Hebrews 12:1-3).
More dangerous is that COMPARING yourself with others denies you the opportunity of your DIVINE DESTINY (reason of your existence in Christ in this World) discovery and fulfilment in Christ in this World.
Comparing yourself with others is not worth the spiritual and physical loses you experience in Christ in this World by doing so, friend!
Focusing on JESUS CHRIST and what He is doing through him was Apostle Paul's winning secret in this World for completing his specific and unique COURSE (divine destiny path) in Christ in this World. (1 Corinthians 11:1; Philippians 3:13,14; 2 Timothy 4:5-8).
This should be yours too.
God bless you.
