TOPIC :✨FOLLOWING HIS DIVINE PLAN✨

SCRIPTURE :📖For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10)._*

Romans 8:29 says, *_“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate....”_* Predestination is at work in you. God has a divine plan for your life, and He has set events and their sequence in motion in line with His divine plan.

Consider John the Baptist, for example, whose entire ministry was for the sole purpose of making the Messiah known to Israel. God could have simply told John where to find Jesus, but John had to follow God's instructions and wait for the sign he was given: *_“...Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit”_* (John 1:33 NKJV).

Finally, Jesus stood before him, and John recognized Him (John 1:29-34). It unfolded precisely according to God’s divine plan. Consider, too, Samuel’s intriguing visit to anoint one of Jesse's sons as king (1 Samuel 16:1-13). Samuel thought he had found the Lord’s anointed when he saw Eliab, with his impressive stature. But God said, “Not him, for I have rejected him” (1 Samuel 16:7). One by one, Jesse brought seven of his sons before Samuel, and each time God said, “Not this one.”

God could have simply told Samuel who to anoint, but He allowed the process to unfold step by step. Finally, Samuel asked Jesse, “Are here all thy children?” Jesse admitted that there was still one more son, David, who was tending the sheep. When David was brought before Samuel, the Lord said, *_“...Arise, anoint him: for this is he”_* (1 Samuel 16:12). God's divine plan for David came to pass according to His preordained design.

God has a plan for your life and it’s a good one. He has predestined your life for His glory, and He knows exactly where you are in His divine plan. You don’t need to be in a hurry or get in a frenzy trying to fulfil His destiny for your life. He has all the events and their sequence planned out in line with His divine purpose.

Yours is to follow the path which He’s prearranged ahead of time. 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].”_*

*PRAYER*

*_Dear Father, I trust you wholeheartedly, knowing that you have predestined my life for your glory. My life is a testimony of your faithfulness, and I yield myself to your perfect will, ever advancing and fulfilling all you have called me to do, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._*

*FURTHER STUDY:*

*Jeremiah 29:11* For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

*Psalm 139:16 NIV* Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

*Romans 8:29* For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

*Jeremiah 1:4-5* Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, *5* 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.

If you are not yet born again, we invite you to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life by praying thus:

*_“O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He’s alive today. I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, I have eternal life; I’m born again. Thank you Lord for saving my soul! I’m now a child of God. Hallelujah!”_*

*Congratulations! You are now a child of God.*
