“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
God has a prepared place and a prepared destiny for you. And the good news is that He knows how to get you there. Temporal distractions, obstacles, and impediments cannot abort God’s plan for your life. You will certainly get there. There is nothing the enemy throws at you that will stop you.
“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). God chose you before the foundation of the world. You are carefully chosen! You are special!
When God spoke to Jeremiah, he (Jeremiah) was looking at his weakness and nothingness and wondering if he will ever become what has been spoken. And God said: “…Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.” (Jeremiah 1:7 KJV). God was saying, let me tell you, Jeremiah, you are going to become what I have spoken about you. Everything that I have spoken to, you will become all of them. God does not start a thing and stop halfway. No! He will perfect it. “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:” (Philippians 1:6 KJV)
God has recreated us in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago. We are God’s masterpiece. We have what it takes to access and deploy those things which were ordained before we were born. God planned our destinies and the good works we would do to fulfill them. God looked at you, made you, and said this one is going to be a medical practitioner. This one will work in the entertainment industry. This one will work in the auto industry. He recreated you in Christ so you can fulfill the destiny He has prepared for you.
