Today’s Bible Verse
And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:18 (AMP)
Radiate
We were made to radiate! To be transformed and made into His image! To run this race with great pursuit and perseverance—an inward fire of an uncommon life.
Living a common life is easy. Unnoticed. Undercover. Undisclosed. Unimportant. These are all the wrong “un-s” so to speak.
Walking out the UNcommon life is well, UNcommon. Answering the call of God in your life is Uncommon. Perhaps even uncomfortable.
Have you ever been in the middle of a recipe and ran out of an ingredient or two? Perhaps you can substitute one of those missing ingredients; however, there is likely one ingredient that can never have a substitution, whether in a dish that is savory or even sweet. What could that missing ingredient be? SALT. Every dish needs salt. If you’ve ever tasted someone’s cooking who tends to lack “seasoning” (salt), you’re less likely to want to head to their house for dinner.
Jesus called us to be the salt of the earth. Guess what? There is no substitute for you! You are the salt of the earth! (Matthew 5:13). Salt is a good thing. We need salt! But more than that, we need to BE the salt! Not merely alluding to the flavor of salt but to its value, your value!
Yet how can we be the salt if we don’t allow the veils of our own deception, wrong self-image, mistakes of the past, or misconstrued perceptions to be torn down? We have to CONTINUALLY see ourselves as in a mirror the glory of God! Not occasionally, but continually the Bible says! Because believe it or not, you are greatly valued! It’s a position where the common collides with the Word of Truth and is transformed to live out an uncommon life. (Pastor Annette Sagarnaga, Word of Life Arizona)
An Uncommon Life
It is not about what we have. Not about what we’ve done or accomplished. Not about what we lack or haven’t attained. It is solely about the Spirit of God that dwells on the inside of you and me that causes us to be transformed in His image from glory to glory!
Thanks be to God who always causes us to triumph in His name! We must see ourselves as Jesus see us! Our identity is in Christ Jesus; we are the righteousness of God in Christ! (2 Cor 5:17).
The world, rather the adversary is vying for not only our attention, but our lives. He is after your anointing. We must protect and guard it, but how can we give place value to the anointing that resides on the inside of us when we have arguments of who we are to begin with? You are uncommon! You have the greater One living on the inside of you! You have been called to do greater works in this life! You are the salt of the earth! You were created in His image!
Don’t fit in. Radiate! Don’t fade out into the background; rather choose to look in the mirror and see the spirit of God (the real you!) that dwells on the inside of you that is called to conquer and to win! You are an ambassador of Christ! An ambassador of the Anointed One and His anointing! You are anointed to win and called to live the uncommon life!
Today’s Declaration
I declare that this is my time to live out the calling of God in my life. When I look in the mirror, I see the value that the Father placed on my life and RADIATE the life of a disciple of Jesus. I am anointed to win! I am anointed to multiply! I live an uncommon life, the Kingdom life!
