Treasure In Earthen Vessels

By Adeshola Abraham 

2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels,

Think about the last time you were around somebody you didn't particularly enjoy. How did it feel? Not too good? Good or bad, we project onto others the thoughts and feelings we have about ourselves. So if you want people to think well of you, you must have a good opinion of yourself - one based on God's Word. Living in continual self-rejection is an open invitation to Satan, whom the Bible says is like a roaring lion prowling for someone to devour (see 1 Peter 5:8). You say, 'But didn't Paul write, "Nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature"' (Romans 7:18 NLT)? Yes, but that means the good qualities you do possess are evidence that God is at work in your life.

The Bible says, 'We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us' (2 Corinthians 4:7 NKJV). Today, instead of focusing on your flaws and feeling bad, recognise the 'treasure' of God's presence, power and potential that live within you.

This morning, because all the promises of God are yea and amen, I decree into your life all the good things he had said concerning you and your family shall come fulfillment in Jesus name. Every power projecting a bad image of you is rendered useless in Jesus name. Amen

Good Morning and do have a blessed Midweek.
