You are Important!! No more doubting!!
By: Brother Mike
Praise God!!! Just thinking on the Word at times I get excited. I can't explain it. It can be one of those dark cloud days, but the Word of God which is alive and has power in itself to come to pass can just wipe away those dark clouds and get a person all happy.
I was just thinking about how precious you are. If you need a foundation of faith, then meditate on what I am about to lay on you. It added bricks to my faith and it will add some bricks to yours.
Better than them Birds!!!
Mat 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Mat 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Now think about this. There are over 620 species of Birds in Texas alone. How many millions of birds is that? Your Father in Heaven feeds them all and all the birds combined in the World do not have a greater value than you.
So, never take thought about saying, where is food coming from, or how is this getting paid. Never again question that as Your Father feeds and takes care of the birds, so you now know where your supply is coming.
How much is the Soul worth?
Luk 12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Luk 12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
Luk 12:17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
Luk 12:18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
Luk 12:19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
Luk 12:20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
Now read the scriptures above......... Good.
Everyone wants to be valued and appreciated in so many ways. People have a need to be thanked and rewarded. People need to feel needed in same way. A persons value is not measured on their wealth, or standing with some committee. People work so hard to get that pat on the back, and work years promoting something because it gives them a sense of value. This human need insures that people will always compete with each other in order to be the best.
Your value though is not measured by price or your level in the elite club of something, something. The Bible says that God first loved us, and hence came your great value. People work for years and years to achieve some value, but no matter how hard you work and hours put in, it will never match the value of your soul.
At the end, this rich man had the goods, worked hard, and yet, none of his efforts at the end could pay for what should have been the most important thing to him. The value of a person, their soul can not be measured by any wealth or status on the planet.
Keep that in mind, no amount of wealth or status is enough and will ever be enough to pay for your soul. There is no price that can be given for just 60 seconds in Heaven. That is how valuable we are to God. If you were the Emperor of this Planet, and had not lived for Jesus, then at the end, even though you owned it all, there would be nothing you could give God that would be enough to pay for your soul.
You could tell God you would give him all the monkeys on the planet, and throw in half of all the cat species, and it still would not be enough. This rich man found out that he focused on the wrong thing, and did not understand his own value. In the end it cost him, as no matter what He made he could not pay for his own soul.
Keep that in mind. God sees you more valuable than all the wealth combined on the planet, because all the wealth on this planet would not be enough to pay for you.
A great price was paid!!
Mat 13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
1Co 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
In order to pay for you, God could use nothing on the earth that would match your worth. We look at trading as giving something in exchange for something else of equal value. If I buy a car that cost 50,000, then I would need money that also equaled to 50,000.
Jesus shed His Blood for you and gave his life for you. How much is Jesus worth? Now think about how much God thinks your worth? Your worth just as much as the price paid for you. Your not some poor sinner saved by grace, a worm in the dirt. No, no, no.......... your far worth more than that, so much so that God made you an heir of everything He has through Jesus. There was no great price paid for the angels, your worth is far and above any Angel.
Psa_17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
When Jesus prayed, the Father heard and responded. The thing that stops us from those results is not understanding that we have just as much worth as the price paid for us.
Joh_11:42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
The next time you pray, the next time you ask your Father in Heaven for something, keep these things in mind. Let your faith rise and go confidently to God with your request. God paid the price for you that God knew you were worth.
Mat_7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
You think that guy that just bought that nice Lamborghini, out there waxing it everyday and admiring it is something? Just wait until this revelation of How much God adores you sets in. That Lamborghini will feel neglected compared to how much your Father in Heaven wants to bless you. A much greater price was paid for you, than any car.
Remember, there is nothing we deserve from God, but if you asked God, He would say you don't deserve anything, but your worth everything to me.
Mike.
