ACCEPT YOUR ACCEPTANCE

“Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.” Ephesians 1:5-6 (KJV)

 

 You can never ever do enough to qualify yourself before God. It is God that qualifies you. And once He has qualified you, accept it as the truth. Any other thing is not acceptable. The day you received Christ into your life, you became accepted. You cannot function in a space or atmosphere you have not accepted belongs to you. 

 

 You must believe it without any shadow of doubt. You are not your mistake. You are not your weakness. You are not your failure. You are who God says you are. You must accept your acceptance. It is time for you not to play games with what God has called you, how He sees you, and how He regards you. Never doubt your acceptance because you will not have boldness if you do. If you doubt your acceptance, you will always see weaknesses and inadequacies. 

 

 You have been accepted in the beloved. Many people find it tough to accept who God says they are because their behaviour appears contradictory to God’s position when they look at themselves. It is either you accept and agree to your behaviour, or you accept your true self.

 

 That is the same lie the devil sold to mankind at the fall. When man fell, the first thing God said when He opened His mouth to speak to man was, who told you that you are naked. Beloved, who told you that you are sick? Who told you that you are stranded? Who told you that you are a failure? Who told you that you cannot achieve anything? Someone has sold that lie to you, and you accepted it. You must refuse what God has not said concerning you and accept what He said concerning you. 

 

 I encourage you to accept your acceptance and watch your life turn around for good.
