'In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.' Ephesians 1:11-12
`The Ghana mission trip is an annual program of the Student Ministry Division of the Nigerian Baptist Convention. In 2015, the then coordinator called one of the students to join the trip. He complained of lack of finances and passport, but was assisted because God has chosen him at such time. He did not only participated but was blessed.
This is our position in Christ. In His divine purpose, He chose us that we may be blessed. In Him we have all it takes to live a successful life on earth: Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ (v.3). Our salvation is complete in Him and He is the wisdom we need to live our lives (v.7-8). Why all of these? Brethren, He did all of these for us in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory (v.12, 14).
Our lives are meant to bring glory to Him who chose us and blessed us. How are you living your life? He has given you all you need for life, why are you still failing? Be determined to please Him daily.
It is important to note that you are chosen for a divine destiny, do not miss it
Prayer: Lord, I need grace to fulfill divine destiny through your choice over my life!
