Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we
should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to
adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of
His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted
in the Beloved (Ephesians 1:4-6 NKJV).
It’s our destiny to live to the praise of God’s grace; He chose and
destined us for the glorious and transcendent life. So, as a Christian, you’re
not living for nothing; your life isn’t empty. 1 Peter 2:9 says, “But ye are a
chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that
ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness
into his marvellous light.” This is your calling; this is your destiny in
Christ! It has to become real to you.
Why are you alive? What’s your reason for being? Why were you born? Why
did you ever come? It’s to fulfil God’s destiny for your life! And part of that
destiny is that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues,
perfections, excellence, and wisdom of Him who called you out of darkness into
His marvellous light. The Bible says He’s doing this “According to the eternal
purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
You have a glorious destiny in God; a destiny of greatness. It’s however
important that you follow God’s Word and live by the principles of the Kingdom.
PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for giving me a purpose and destiny in
life, a destiny of greatness! I live the glorious and transcendent life,
fulfilling that purpose, in my expression of your virtues, perfections,
excellence, and wisdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY: 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 Wherefore also we pray always for
you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the
good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: 12 That the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according
to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Colossians 4:17 AMP And say to Archippus, See that you discharge
carefully [the duties of] the ministry and fulfill the stewardship which you
have received in the Lord.
