Steps to take so as to be divinely preffered

 Hi friends,

I want to bring to our attention as we journey on this heaven’s highway, the fact that your being divinely preferred is not automatic but you must qualify after the grace and mercy of God has been made available to you.

Some of the steps to take include:

1.     Be genuinely born again John 3 :3 says;

‘Jesus answered and said unto him, verily, verily, I say unto thee.

Except a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God’

2.     Love God genuinely from the heart Matthew 22: 37 says;

‘Jesus said unto him, thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind’

3.     Know God personally and intimately John 8:32 says:

‘And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free’

4.     Be zealous or passionate about the things of God Isaiah 9:7 says;

‘------the zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this’.

5.     Be willing to die to self John 12:24 says;

‘Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit

6.      Be willing to know God’s word and choose to be obedient to God’s word Isaiah 1: 19 says

‘If be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land’

7.     Live righteously and Love righteousness Hebrews 1: 9 says;

‘Thou hast loved righteousness, and hateth iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows’.

8.     Study the word of God meditatively Joshua 1: 8

‘This book of the law shall not depart from thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.’

9.     Be diligent in the place of prayer and fasting Matthew 25: 41

‘Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit is indeed willing,                     but the flesh is weak’

10.                         Be heavenly minded Colossians 3:1-2

‘If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ  sitteh on the right hand of God.  Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth’.

As you observe this ten simple but basic steps on your Christian pilgrimage, you shall be divine preferred above your equals in Jesus Mighty Name, amen.
