*DO GOOD WORKS*
_How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him_ *(Acts 10:38)*
The life of the Lord Jesus was characterised by good works, extraordinary miracles. The Bible says there were many things He did which are not written in the book. If they were to be written, every one of them, the whole world itself wouldn’t have contained the books that would have been written (John 21:25). And this wasn’t an exaggeration.
Everywhere Jesus went, He brought blessing, healing, hope, and deliverance because that's who He was. He wasn't trying to prove His goodness by His works; His works were the expression of His life. The same is true about us. The Bible says, *"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works..."* (Ephesians 2:10).
You were recreated unto good works. You have been fashioned for good works. That's your nature in Christ. The life of Jesus was a rehearsal for us. He rehearsed divinity to us. The Bible says as He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17).
Remember what the Bible says about Him in Acts 10:38: He went about doing good; we read it in our opening scripture. Now you've entered into the same life. The life that caused Jesus to go about doing good is the very life that's at work in you today. Therefore, doing good works isn't something you struggle to achieve; it's the spontaneous expression of the divine life in you.
No wonder He said to us, *“Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give”* (Matthew 10:8). Everywhere you go, express the divine life in you; manifest Christ. Let your words, actions and responses reveal the life and glory of Christ in you. Do good works! Keep bringing hope, healing, joy, salvation and blessings to your world.
*CONFESSION*
_I am God’s excellent handiwork, recreated in Christ Jesus unto good works. The divine life in me is expressed today in my words, actions and responses. I continually manifest the Christ-life, being a partaker of His divine nature. Hallelujah!_
*FURTHER STUDY:*
*Ephesians 2:10 AMPC* For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].
*Titus 2:14* Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
*Matthew 5:16* Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
