(You’re God’s Perfectly-Crafted, Excellently-Created Handiwork)
TO THE BIBLE: Ephesians 2:10 AMPC
“For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].”
LET’S TALK
One of the greatest truths ever communicated to us from the Word of God is that, as Christians, we are God’s own handiwork. We are His reproduction, His perfectly-crafted, excellently-created masterpieces.
When you know this, you will believe in and value yourself more. This is the reason you should never think of failure! God has never made a failure; therefore, you should not fail.
You were created for success and the good life. Sickness, poverty, disease, death, and the down-life are not consistent with your true nature and identity.
Therefore, never descend to their level. God made you for His glory; you are a wonder—a product of divine orchestration and a miracle happening everywhere you go! You are God’s dream come true, so never look down on yourself.
It doesn’t matter what others call you; what matters is what you call yourself based on what God has said about you. He has made you rich, healthy, victorious, super-intelligent, and influential.
Therefore, say, “Yes, Lord, I am what you say I am. I believe in what you’ve made me to be. I believe in my prosperity, health, success, promotion, and increase. I see myself making progress and moving forward.”
You are God’s best. God gave birth to you in order to show you off as the crown of all His creation (James 1:18 MSG). You are first-class among all His creation, called to display His virtues and perfections.
Therefore, see the future, and see your greatness! See God using you to do great and mighty things and touch lives all over the world. You were made for His glory and perfected for the good life—see yourself that way and believe in yourself.

Pray:
Heavenly Father, I thank you for creating me in your image and in your likeness! Your Word shows that you gave birth to me in order to show me forth as the crown of all your creation. I thank you for bringing this revelation to my spirit today, letting me know that I’ve been thoroughly fashioned for good works and ordained to live the glorious and excellent life in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen!
