SCRIPTURE
“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]” Ephesians 2:10 (AMPC).
MESSAGE
Predestination simply means God decides beforehand setting your life on a course. God’s foreknowledge of all events is what is referred to as predestination. You are God’s special creation, preordained for a glorious life. You were predestined, meaning God prearranged your life in Christ Jesus before you were formed and birthed (Jeremiah 1: 4-5).
You are chosen by God in Christ, predestined to fulfill His purpose. The path God prearranged for you is the path of righteousness, (Psalms 23:3) peace, greatness, prosperity, unending victories, triumphant processions, favor, and glory. He leads you by His Spirit and His Word in the paths that He prearranged for you. Your responsibility is to cooperate with God.
PRAYER / CONFESSION
Dear Father, I thank You for pre-arranging my life paths and leading me to walk in them. I walk in Your paths of righteousness, cooperating with Your Spirit’s guidance in every step. My life is a testimony of Your faithfulness, and I walk confidently, knowing that I am in the center of Your will in the name of the Lord Jesus Amen.
