Gods plan is always a man/woman. The bible says that God knew us even before we were born into this world (Jeremiah 1:5). Not that only, He has sanctified us and appoints us to be prophets to the nations. This means if you are a born again believer and you have accepted the Lord, I have good news for you. YOU are a prophet over the nation where you belong to! Amen! You are the chosen one, having been selected as the best.

John 15:16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you...

Why are chosen by God?

In Psalms 132:13 says “For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place:” We are the chosen one of God because He has desired it. We are chosen to be His dwelling place (John 15:4). The Bible says that our body is His Holy Temple.

God is not looking for rich people, those who have PHD (permanent head damage) behind their name, or some Bible theologians to do His will. God is looking those whose hearts are after Him. In Matthew 21:2 – if God can use a donkey, I would to be that donkey. We are chosen to be the carriers of His presence. Jesus ride upon the donkey in Matthew 21:2. When I said I would to be the donkey, it simply means that I would to carry the presence of the Lord where ever I go.

We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light; (1 Peter 2:9). He has chosen us specifically to be His royal priesthood (hallelujah, I’m excited about this), a Holy nation (whoaaaa), and His own special people (you read that again). The reason He has chosen us is to execute all of His plans. We are here to do His will.

We are chosen to bear good fruits. In John 15:16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain. What does it means? It simply means that we are called to do His works and the fruits of the Spirit will continually grow in us.

We are chosen for eternity. In Ecclesiastes 3:11 says He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; God set eternity in our hearts. While we are still on earth, everything we do must have an impact for the eternity. Things of the earth are not everlasting things. But let us set our hearts for things which are from above. Be an eternity minded person. The is a song and the lyrics says “Heal my heart and make it clean, Open up my eyes to the things unseen, Show me how to love like you have loved me, Break my heart from what breaks yours, everything I am for your kingdoms cause, As I go from earth to Eternity.” God is preparing us for eternity.

We are chosen to receive the power of Holy Spirit and to be His witness. In Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Well this is power is not a magical power. But this is given to all believe in Jesus. This power is the dominion power that God gave us (Genesis 1:26). We are people of power. The devil sees us they tremble in the name of Jesus! That is the power that God has given us. We are given the power to heal people in the Name of Jesus. When i say heal people it means, we are not the healer, but God is the Healer, we are just His vessels. As we lay our hands and pray for people, His power will flow through us. We are chosen to be His witnesses. In Matthew 28:19-20 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Do I need to explain this?

For every child that is born on earth, has a mandate to fulfil their destiny. God has the blue print of our lives. He knew us even before you and I was born. He knew us by our name and He knows every little thing about us. He has chosen us even before we have those pHD, doctorate, scholar, wealth and so on. Our heart condition is important. The question is what are we going to do about the calling that God has placed in our lives? God has a need and use of us in whatever station of our lives.

I’m privileged to be the chosen one of God. What about you?

God Bless You

In Christ,
