ALIGN WITH HIS DIVINE PLAN — Pastor Chris
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV).
You need to understand something important about your life: you’re a child of divine destiny; you’re not living a life of chance. The sequence and events in your life are orchestrated by God. Your role is to recognize these divine orchestrations and flow accordingly; follow the path that He’s prearranged for you. Predestination is at work in you.
Ephesians 2:10 (AMPC) says, “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].” Romans 8:29 NIV says, “For those God foreknew he also predestined….” When you’re synchronized with His will, you’ll experience the blessings and maximum fulfilment He’s ordained for you.
The best place to be in life is at the centre of God’s will. When you have that awareness, you’ll always be filled with joy, confident that come what may, you’ll always win. You’re a victor forever because you’re in God’s place, in God’s time, fulfilling God’s purpose in God’s way. This understanding is vital. When you’re in sync with God’s will, you don’t fret or worry; you’re at peace at all times and never in panic-mode because you know that you’re operating on God’s timetable not man’s timetable.
Your life is designed by God to move from glory to glory, which is why we’re charged to always be thankful. You’ll always overcome any adversity that comes against you because as one who’s born again, everything works for your good: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28 NIV). Hallelujah!
