GOD IS THE ALL SUFFICIENT ONE; NOT US

The understanding of your qualification determines your practice in any sphere of life. As a child of God; there is a need for you to understand that you are nothing in yourself, neither are you sufficient to think of anything as of yourself. Our sufficiency is of God. We don’t qualify on our own for any of the slightest good that have been so freely bestowed on us. Our qualification is wholly on who Jesus Christ has made to become unto us.
It’s all because of the finished work of Jesus on the cross of Calvary. He paid the price to secure our qualification for all that God freely offers. Let us understand the basics; it is not because of what you can do, it is because of what Jesus has already done, which has been credited to our account. It is not at all because of what you can give, it all borders on what Jesus has already given.
There is nothing anyone can do to earn anything from God; we live by the mercies of God. “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed because His compassion fails not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness” Lamentations 3:22-23.

Even when you feel you have done all that needs to be done and you have given all that needs to be given; you still need the mercies of God to “process” it for you everything bulges down to His mercies. The righteousness Jesus has been made to become unto us is what sets you on the path of righteousness and it makes you a glad recipient of all that Jesus died for.
Let no devil harass you on the basis of what you have done or what you have not done. It is all because of what Jesus did and all He has been made to become unto you. He is our righteousness!
The finished work of Jesus is the right standing we enjoy with God the Father; not how well you are able to pray, but how much the Holy Spirit intercedes for you. Not what you are able to give, but all that Jesus gave up for your sake. Jesus is our qualification, He is our bold access unto the thrones of God and our acceptance is in Him.
