SCRIPTURE

Colossians 3:11-15

[11] In this new life one’s nationality or race or education or social position is unimportant; such things mean nothing. Whether a person has Christ is what matters, and he is equally available to all.

[12] Since you have been chosen by God who has given you this new kind of life, and because of his deep love and concern for you, you should practice tenderhearted mercy and kindness to others. Don’t worry about making a good impression on them, but be ready to suffer quietly and patiently.

[13] Be gentle and ready to forgive; never hold grudges. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

[14] Most of all, let love guide your life, for then the whole church will stay together in perfect harmony.

[15] Let the peace of heart that comes from Christ be always present in your hearts and lives, for this is your responsibility and privilege as members of his body. And always be thankful

YOU ARE CHOSEN

Let me say this simply: if you have ever believed that Jesus came to die so as to save you from sin and its consequences, and you confessed with your mouth accepting his love, forgiveness and life; You are already born again! Your life is new. You live in God’s love and you don’t have to impress anybody now because all that matters is that you now have the Spirit of God living in you to guide and guard you through life. This was God’s plan for you from the very beginning.

God is love therefore you have the nature of love now. Be quick to forgive those who offend you whether they apologize or not, hold no grudges against anyone, be quick to apologize to those you have offended. Consider how your actions will affect others; respect the feelings and opinions of others; honour those who are ahead of you near or far; be at peace with yourself and others always no matter what is going on; You are not the same anymore; it’s a higher life you are living and God will take good care of you.

Welcome to your new dimensions.

Prayer

Holy Spirit, take over my heart I want to live by your leading, pleasing God in all I think, say and do in Jesus name.

Please take some time to pray in tongues.

Prophecy

I declare the release of fresh fire that will ignite a new burning passion for God in your heart in the name of Jesus.

Today, accelerate to a higher level of progress by grace in every ramification of your life in Jesus name.

I decree wisdom and favour for resounding success as you sit for that interview, write that examination, defend that paper or contract; you will not be confused in Jesus name.

Declaration

I AM LIVING A NEW AND HIGHER LIFE NOW IN CHRIST

You are supernatural.

I LOVE YOU.
