Prepared, Set, And Ready! – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional May 14th

(The Lord Has Preordained Your Path In Life)

TO THE BIBLE: Ephesians 2:10 AMPC
“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].”

LET’S TALK
“Lord, I need your help and direction; I’ve had to fend for my little brother ever since my parents passed. I’m too young to face this hefty responsibility all by myself. Was I born just to suffer like this?” wailed Martha.

After calming down a little, she heard the sweet, restful voice of the Spirit: “I’ve already made all necessary plans for you and your brother; the path is set, just follow my Word.”

Take a moment to read our opening verse again; it’s so awe-inspiring. As a Christian, God wants you to know He’s already prepared the path you should follow in life.

Predestination is at work in you: you were recreated in Christ Jesus for good works that God planned and prearranged specifically for you.

It simply means that your life is on a predetermined path. You’re not an accident to God. There’re those who are on a path that’s different from the one that God prearranged for them.

They live in the wrong house, in the wrong city, went to the wrong school, and have the wrong friends. They’re not aware that God has a special path prepared for them, so they’re toiling and struggling through life, but that’s not you!

Everyone has a definite path that he or she is supposed to follow, and if you don’t know, you’d think life is just according to impulses.

For example, perhaps after your graduation from the university, you opted to get a second degree. Maybe it’s because your parents said so; maybe you just liked acquiring a second degree; or maybe you saw your friends going for it and decided to follow suit.

But did you ever ask God whether or not that was consistent with His plan for your life?

Be wise and know that you need to talk to God about what you should do and the direction you should go because everything God wants you to enjoy in life has been pre-ordained.

If you want the best from God and to live in His perfect will, walk the path He has prepared for you, which is one of righteousness, great glory, greatness, and unending victories. Glory to God!

Romans 8:29-30; Ephesians 1:11

Speak:
Predestination is at work in me. My life has a purpose with God, for He leads me by His Spirit in the paths that He prearranged for me. Everything I’ll ever require to fulfil all that God has called me to do is available in superabundance. I’m led in the paths of success, victory and unending prosperity, in Jesus’ Name. Amen!
