YOU ARE NOT INFERIOR. YOU ARE EQUAL TO EVERYONE
By Pastor Ayo-Simeon Agbelusi
Here’s the first encouraging news that should always fill your heart with joy: God created you good and you are His image on earth. You are neither an error nor a mistake. You are a valuable blessing and not inferior to anyone else. You are uniquely special in God’s own way.
Genesis 1:26 KJV
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Feelings of inadequacy can arise from comparisons to others, including colleagues or individuals in similar roles. If unchecked, these sentiments can dominate our self-perception, undermining effectiveness as Christ’s followers. Therefore, self-worth must be firmly established in Christ to counter these negative influences. When confronted with self-doubt and inadequacy, remember that you are created in God’s image, endowed with inherent value and purpose. Self-criticism is tantamount to diminishing God’s remarkable handiwork. You are greater and better than you are now. Think in line with God’s mandate for your life and continue to rejoice in the Lord your God. You will never be sad again in your entire lifetime in Jesus name.
Pray with me: Father, I’m so glad you created me with great virtues. I’m a blessing, bold and strong. I am inferior to none. Keep me soaring higher with grace to see the beautiful life you have give me in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
