If you are in a covenant relationship with God as a son, then you are a creature
of great worth. You are priceless and a treasure of inestimable value. Stop
looking down on yourself; stop thinking small, you are valuable. Talking about
your value, we shall look into the Bible to see it from God’s perspective. This is
talking about you as well as me: God loves us equally. Any time you read the Bible
He is talking about you, believe it, God is not partial.
In the first place, God sees your value, even as a falling man, He sent His son,
Jesus Christ to come and die for your sin. From John 3:16 we read
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever
believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God loves you:-
All over the Bible, one clear message is, God’s love for man (you), His love is
directed to man because of his value (or worth). You are worth so much to God,
why? You are worth so much because you are unique; you are created in God’s image.
When you study God’s creatures, you will see from the Bible that man is rated
highest. Man was made (or created) in the image of God. God spoke all the things
created in the universe into existence. In Genesis chapter one, you will read
again and again “… and God said, ‘let there be …’ and there was …” the stars
(galaxies) were actually spoken to existence by God on the fourth day of creation,
the sun and all stars, in all the about one hundred billion galaxies were created
by God’s word on the fourth day. See Gen. 1:14-19
On the sixth day, God created the man – Adam (our origin). In creating man, let’s
see what God did. God said, “let us make man …” Meaning, God used His word. Then
God formed man using His hand (as a great porter) to mould man, meaning, God used
His hand and the sand of the earth. Then God breathe into man, the breath of life,
meaning, God used His breathe/spirit (see Job 33: 4). Note the materials God used
in creating man: -
His word: His hand and sand: and His breath (or spirit).
You want to compare these valuable materials with the one He used to create all
other creatures. In creating all other creatures, living things and non-living
things, He only used one material – His word.
Judging your value, from David’s perspective in Psalm 139:14-18.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy
works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously
wrought in the lowest part of the earth
Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; and in thy book all my
members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was
none of them.
How precious are thy thoughts unto me, o God! How great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am
still with thee.

Know this and keep it in your heart that God loves you and values you and rates
you high. His thoughts of you are precious; you can’t sum up all His good thoughts
towards you. God said in Jeremiah 29:11,12
For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of
peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end
Then shall ye call upon me and shall go and pray unto me, and I will harken unto
you.
When someone or something is not valuable, you don’t think about him/it. You are
so precious, He said, ‘ye shall call on me and I will hear you’. Many do not
understand the privilege and opportunity to call on God and have him to say yes
all the time. If you (let’s assume now that you are an ordinary citizen of your
country), you want to have an audience with the president of your country. Let met
ask you, how easy will it be for you to easily secure his attention? In a country
like Nigeria, it’s almost an impossible task; they want to be very sure you’re not
a security risk.
But now we are talking about the president of the universe, the one who oversees
uncountable stars; the one who can dethrone and enthrone any president of the
world; the Almighty God. He said, “and you shall call upon me and I will harken”,
and God is not partial. ‘You’ here refers to anybody and everybody who calls, in
God’s acceptable way. If you understand this, you will really appreciate it. For
me, as a Pastor, a busy one at that, I cannot see everyone that may want to see me
at the very time he/she needs me because of tight and busy schedule. It is not so
with God. You are so valuable; you can get His attention at anytime and in any
place you find yourself. You get to Him, life and direct. Prayer is God’s hot
line, one’s you put the call across; you will be through to God on a direct line
of one on one. This information should do something in you, put confidence in you;
make you happy and sure, that you are secured, anytime, anywhere. The good news
about it is that God is not partial about it. Whosoever shall call upon the name
of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13) Note, it is WHOSOEVER, and that
includes you. Always remember, GOD IS NOT PARTIAL. What He has done to one He can
do to another. He loves us equally, but I can endear myself to His heart that
commits Him to love me more than you. You can always do something that will make
you to get His affection easily. It depends on you more than you can imagine; I
mean what you get from God depends on you to a large extent. Please understand
this. God loved Solomon (2Samuel 12: 24,25), so does He love you John3: 16, but
the Bible says Solomon loved the Lord that he (Solomon) gave God a thousand burnt
offering see 1Kings3: 3. Solomon endeared himself to God’s heart by a cheerful and
generous giving. God had to respond to that love by blessing him above every man
since no man has given in such a generous way before.

Value the you:-

You were called to inherit a blessing if you are born again. See 1Peter 3:9. You
have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places. Every blessing
that you need to make life comfortable unto you has already been given to you; it
is in you. It’s your responsibility to draw it out and use it for your own
benefit.
Whatever you want to do or become in life is possible; you have what it takes to
make it in you; it’s in you, use it. If you fail, the problem is not God’s but
yours. Success is in you, believe it and use it. Power is in you, believe it, and
use it. If you use it God will support you, if you fail to use it, He has nothing
to hold on to in supporting you. Hence you are on your own in the realm of
failure.
Getting you to be born-again cost God so much, making you valuable did not come
without a price. Jesus paid the price. You need to value ‘you’. Value yourself
because God values you. If you do not value yourself you will tend to do the
following
1. You will be negligent in praising and worshiping God. The more you praise Him
in worship, the more your value increase in heaven, the more you are known. The
devil told the seven sons of Sceva “Jesus I know, Paul I know, but who are you”
Acts 19:15. These boys, even though their father was one of the chief priests,
they were unknown, unrecognized in the spiritual realm. God was not partial; it
was just that they had not accepted the gift of life, JESUS CHRIST. Worship
enhances your value; you were created for this purpose, to worship the almighty
God. If you study the book of Revelation, you will discover that the only job that
is done in heaven is worship. It is done twenty-four hours a day, seven days a
week. To neglect to worship God is to undervalue ‘you’.
To increase your value; you have to highly esteem the habit of Biblical worship.
Do you know that tongues will cease, prophecy will become of no value, and faith
will become unnecessary? Worship is the only thing we will give to our God when we
get to heaven. Study the Psalms and you will understand the major reason God place
high value on David. David became a man after God’s heart because of purposeful
worship. Psalm 148:1-14
Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens; praise Him in the heights
…
Kings of the earth, and all people, princess and all judges of the earth;
Both young men and maidens; old men, and children
Let them praise the name of the lord; for His name alone is excellence; His glory
is above the earth and heaven.
He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all His saints;
Worship or praise does something when it comes from the heart of men. It exalts
the people of God, to exalt means to increase your value in Psalm 149:6, we read
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their
hand.
If the high praises of God is not there, then the sword may not work. The high
praises of God in your mouth, right from a grateful heart will make the two-edge
sword, which is the word of God extra-powerful to send the kill against the enemy.
Psalm 149:7,8 says
To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
To bind their kings with chains …
The power to bind and loose is in the word of God (the two edge sword) but it is
enhanced by quality praise. Study the Psalm 149:1-9
2. You will not believe all that is written in the word of God concerning you. If
you refuse to believe what the word says you are, then you will not be what He
says you are. Please note that if you do not become what the word says you are, it
means that your value is greatly reduced to your own disadvantage. Let’s see some
of the things the word of God says you are, see I John 4:4
Ye are of God, little children and have overcome them; because greater is He that
is in you than he that is in the world.

You are of God. Believe it, accept it, practice it and be sure it is true as far
as you are concerned. You have overcome them. Who are the ‘them’? ‘Them’ includes
all the by-products of the devil, sin, sickness, diseases, death, wickedness,
evil-spirits, oppressions, depressions, lack, poverty etc. You have overcome fear
and timidity, believe it, and let it done on you. God is not partial; that things
are not happening in your life is not God’s fault but yours. The good news is
this, no matter how long you been suffering defeat in life, you can begin to win
even now. You can win in life, God loves you and He is not partial: you rise up
and take the challenge.
If you have not given your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you
cannot enjoy any of the promises of God. The only ticket that qualifies you to
enter into this realm is to be born again. Why don’t you repent of your sins and
surrender your life to Him now. If you are ready for this decision, bow your head
now and pray this prayer: -

Heavenly Father, thank you for loving me so much that you sent your only begotten
son to die for my sin. I realize that I am a sinner doomed for death, and eternal
damnation. I hereby accept your offer of life through our Lord Jesus Christ; I
open the doors of my heart to you Lord Jesus. I know that you died for me even
though you never sinned so that I can be free from the penalty of sin. Thank you
for loving me and making me a brand new man.
