God paid a great price for you. So use your body to honor God.
(1 Corinthians 6:20, CEV)
Scenario:
You went to the Supermarket to get some thing items; you filled your basket and joined the queue to make payment. When it got to your turn, as the staff scanned your items, you realized that you had exceeded your budget so you tried to remove some of the items but the staff told you to leave them. After scanning, he/she told you that a billionaire had made deposit, enough to cover for the bill of every customer as long as the shop remains. The staff continued that the billionaire’s intention is that if there is a need, people can come in to pick or receive what they want.
Message:
God has already paid the price/cost for your life. Everything you would ever need in this world has already been paid for and there is enough provision for you. If He said that Ask and it shall be given, without placing any restriction, then you can be sure that whatever means whatever.
A lot of times believers are afraid to go to God when they sin. They find it more convenient to ask God for their physical needs than to ask for their spiritual needs. But keep in mind that the God who gives also forgives. That was why Jesus did the two during His days on earth. Your needs have already been paid for. Gather confidence as God’s child and approach Him, knowing that the provisions were made before you were born. Like the supermarket scenario, the billionaire made the deposit before you went into the shop.
In this year, if there are areas in your life where you are struggling and sometimes feel shy to talk about it. Some behaviors are crippling you down and/or holding you hostage, to the point that you feel guilty to (even) pray. Know that God has paid for the remedy. What you need to do is to make a 180 degrees turn, repent, and turn to God. Be determined to make progress in the right direction. Like the little child who is determined to walk, although you will may stumble and/or fall many times, you will surely stand firm and walk straight. God has paid the price.
You are not alone in this struggle. Every person you see has got something he/she is working on, and that includes your spiritual leader(s). No one has reached the point of perfection yet so keep moving forward. Jesus Christ has laid a strong foundation for you to build on. That is, to carry out the purpose for which you were born. When he returns, He is going to judge you on what you did with what He did.
All you need to live Free on earth and to make it to Heaven has already been paid for so make use of them whiles there is time. God bless you.
