If you needed money from your bank account and went to the teller window knowing you had the money and were told, sorry, but I just can’t give that to you today, what would you do?

Would you be okay with that?  I mean, imagine you really need that money. It is very important that you get it that day.  Would you just simply say, well, okay, I’ll come back another day?  Or would you demand your money be given to you?

There are different types of attitudes when it comes to the things of the kingdom.  There are attitudes of settling for whatever happens as though it is somehow God causing it, and therefore, one must just take it however it comes.  It is a modified, whatever will be will be, type of thinking.  Most people I have met with this way of thinking may settle for what is happening, but they are never thrilled about it and often harbor an inner resentment due to it.

Honestly, is anyone ever truly happy just settling for whatever comes their way?

When there’s no effort to discover all that Christ secured at the cross for the believer both in this life and the one to come, a person is relegated to having to settle for whatever comes their way and put on their best face with others about it.

When a believer lives in ignorance regarding the promises of God that are yes and amen in Christ, much opportunity is missed.

The greatest privilege and opportunity that is missed is partaking of God’s divine nature.

2Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Through the exceedingly great and precious promises, we become partakers of the divine nature.  These promises aid us in our escape from the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Our account in heaven is full of everything we need for life and godliness in this life.

We have everything in Christ.   

Romans 8:31   What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

It is a travesty to remain in ignorance about all that Christ accomplished in his death and resurrection.  To be ignorant of all that it is meant to affect is to get robbed of the advantages that belong to us as His dear children.  God is for us!  He has filled our account!  We have access to things that can alter outcomes and empower the advancement of His kingdom through us.  Settling for whatever happens is not a kingdom mindset.  The things He has for us are meant to be accessed by faith according to grace.  Cash in on what is yours for the purpose of His kingdom being advanced on this earth!
