ELECT OF GOD

DAILY GRACE DATE: MON. 28TH NOV, 2016 TOPIC: ELECT OF GOD TEXT: COLOSSIANS 3:12 Top of a new day to you beloved. God will cause you to be elected, accepted and favored where you have been ignored and rejected before now in Jesus' name. "Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering" Dearly beloved, to be addressed as the elect of God comes with lots of responsibilities and commitments to put off some deadly habits and to put on some golden habits. Put on..... as the elect of God, holy and beloved.  Who are the elect of God? Those who are holy are the elect of God, and those who are the elect of God, and holy, are the beloved-beloved of God, and that should be so of all faithful believers in Christ. Those who are the elect of God, holy and beloved, ought to conduct themselves in every thing as become them and so as not to lose the credit of their consecration, sanctification and holiness and the comfort of their being chosen as the beloved by the God of all grace. Those who are holy towards God are to be lowly and loving towards all men.  Let's consider what you must put on in particular as an elect of God or beloved indeed.   (1.) Tender mercies:This is compassion towards the miserable and becoming bowels of mercy to others. Those who owe so much to mercy ought to be merciful to all who are proper objects of mercy. Be you merciful, as your Father is merciful, (Luke 6:36). If you desire mercy of God over your life, you must learn to show mercy towards other people that comes your way daily. (2.) Kindness: kindness towards others must be the fabric of your lifestyle, including those who hate you. A courteous disposition becomes habit of the elect of God, for the design of the gospel is not only to soften the minds of men, but to sweeten them, and to promote friendship among men as well as reconciliation with God. (3.) Humility: Humbleness of mind in submission to God's will first and to those above us a leader be it spiritual or secular leader, and condescension to those below us. There must not only be a humble demeanour, but a humble mind that is Christ-like in nature, as He said "Learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart" (Matt. 11:29). (4.) Meekness: Elect of God must be willing to demonstrates meekness like Moses did towards those who have provoke you, or been any way injurious to you. You must not be transported into any indecency by your resentment of indignities and neglects but must prudently bridle your own anger, and patiently bear the anger of others. You must know that meekness is not synonymous to weakness. Are you really a beloved or elect of God? If all the above habits is missing in your life, you must surrender to God now for divine renewal and complete restoration. To be continued.... Enjoy your day! Personal Confession: Lord Jesus, qualify me with your grace today to be an elect of God indeed in Jesus' name. Read, Reflect and rebroadcast to bless someone. God will bless you in return.
