their lack of education, or because of their family background. If only they knew that none of these factors should control the circumstances of their existence! In John 15:19 Jesus said, "...ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you." That means you've been handpicked out of the world; you've been selected out of this world where there's pain, misery, hardship and turmoil, and translated into God's Kingdom, where there's rest, peace, joy and prosperity. This is the spiritual reality of your life in the mind of God. God chose you for a life of glory, honour, dignity and excellence: "According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue" (2 Peter 1:3). You don't have to struggle for anything in life; you've been brought into glory, honour, dignity and excellence. This is your calling. The day you became a Christian, you accepted that call; you endorsed the call to an extraordinary life of success, victory, honour, dignity and excellence. Your experience of life ought to be consistent with these realities. This is the reason you must study and follow the Word to acquire knowledge of who you are, and what belongs to you in Christ Jesus, and function accordingly. Otherwise, your life will be at variance with the life of glory, honour, dignity and excellence that you've been called to. It makes no difference the challenges you might be facing, the glory of God is going to be manifested in that situation because you're called to glory and virtue. Live confidently today with this consciousness that you're not created for failure; rather, you're the manifestation of the glory of God!
