1 Corinthians 1:30 30But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God —
and righteousness and sanctification and redemption —
When the devil accuses us of having done wrong and tells us
that we don’t deserve God’s blessings, what should we do?
Well, the Lord showed me one day what we are to do. We are to
point everything back to Jesus, who qualifies us for all of
God’s blessings.
So when the devil says, “You are not righteous enough,” just
look to Jesus and declare, “He is my righteousness!”
When the devil says, “You are not holy enough,” just look to
Jesus and declare, “He is my sanctification!”
When the devil says, “You don’t deserve to be healed,” just
look to Jesus and declare, “By His stripes I am healed!”
When the devil says, “You don’t qualify for the blessing,”
just look to Jesus and declare, “He is my qualification!”
Each time you point everything back to Jesus, the devil has
nothing to say because Jesus qualifies you for all of God’s
blessings. In and of yourself, you do not qualify. Without
Christ, there is nothing good in you that can qualify you.
But with Christ, your disqualification becomes your
qualification for the undeserved, unearned and unmerited
blessings of God. And because God puts your life in Christ
(Colossians 3:3), who is the all-deserving one, you become
all-deserving. Because you are in Christ, you are qualified.
Jesus qualifies you because He died for you and gave you a
blood-bought right to every blessing of God. You have a
blood-bought right to a life full of meaning, purpose and
abundance. You have a blood-bought right to walk in divine
health. You have a blood-bought right to God’s provision even
when the economy is bad. You have a blood-bought right to
preferential treatment because God favors you. You have a
blood-bought right to the good life!
My friend, you have a right to all these blessings not
because you are good, but because Jesus shed His blood and
qualified you to have them. So don’t let the devil or anyone
tell you that you can’t expect to walk in the blessings of
God!
