Seeing Yourself as a Masterpiece

Joel @ Lakewood Church

Ephesians 2:10 NLT

For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

God made me who I am on purpose and I'm his most prized possession.

Sometimes we see abstract paintings that cost millions of dollars. Its because the painting gets it's value from the painter.

Psalm 139:14 KJV

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

There was a man who lived a bulk of his life in poverty and after he died they found out that his estate was worth millions of dollars. In the same way a lot of us don't know what we have and we are living a life far beyond the one that we have chosen.

Mark 12:31 NLT

The second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' No other commandment is greater than these."

SOME PEOPLE HAVE RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN SELF-ESTEEM. YOU CAN'T LOVE OTHERS IF YOU DON'T LOVE YOURSELF

Numbers 13:33 NIV

We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.

THEY DIDN'T SAY THAT ANYONE INSULTED THEM, THEY SAID PEOPLE SAW THEM THE WAY THAT THEY SAW THEMSELVES

Revelation 1:6 NIV

and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

THIS IS HOW I SHOULD CARRY MYSELF.

Mark 1:11 NIV

And a voice came from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased."

MY VALUE IS NOT BASED ON MY PERFORMANCE

WHEN I'M AGAINST MYSELF, IT MAKES ME DO WORSE.

Genesis 1:31 AMP

And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it completely. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

Be bold enough to celebrate yourself.

We need to change the recording!

We are blessed to be a blessing.

Psalm 84:11 NLT

For the LORD God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory.

The LORD will withhold no good thing

from those who do what is right.

Jesus always blessed people who don't seem to deserve it.

John 8:7, 10-11 NLT

They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, "All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!" .... Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, "Where are your accusers? Didn't even one of them condemn you?" "No, Lord," she said.

And Jesus said, "Neither do I. Go and sin no more."

Simon Peter means "pebble" but Jesus called him a rock.

Jesus loves the sound of me blessing others.

JENIRO IS ON THE GO.
