Wisdom For The Day Devotional 8 November 2023 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – You Are God’s Chosen
TOPIC: You Are God’s Chosen (TREM Devotional 8 November 2023)
“According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:’’. Ephesians 1:4 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
God does not choose as human beings do. Man can just look at you and say, you are finished; no hope in God for you. You are just wasting your time. It is already too late. But I want to let you know that you are chosen. God is the one that made the choice despite your weakness. Your weakness can not stop Him.
God made the choice when you were not even born yet. He packaged where you will end even before you were born. You have a glorious future. So, stop looking at where you are now. Let no man write you off. You will not end a disaster. You will not end a failure.
He had prepared your seat before you were born. He chose you for His own purpose. The Bible says in 2 Timothy 1:9,“who has saved us and called us with the Holy calling not according to our own words but according to his own purpose and grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began’’. He chose you! And if He chose you, without any contradiction, you will not end a failure. You will not end a disappointment! Heaven will fight for you! You will not see shame!
God did not only choose you, He also ordained you. Do you know what ordination means? It means you are authorized by God. By divine decree, God ordained you. His hands are upon your life. You are authorized to come into His presence. You are authorized to rebuke the devil. And when you rebuke him, he has to obey. By divine decree you have a license, you have authority, and you have God’s mandate to come into His presence and receive. When you understand this divine decree, you will pray with authority because God is the one who authorized you. He ordained you to make it in life. Therefore, you will make it. You may have been despised but you shall be celebrated.
