CHOSEN AND DESTINED FOR GREATNESS, PART 1
The minute you were conceived in your mother’s womb, you were chosen and destined for greatness. God had you on His mind long before you were born. We have already looked at Psalm 139. Go back to yesterday’s confession of Psalm 139 and listen to this with your heart and let the Word of God minister to you and wash away any doubt of your value, of your worth to God. He loves you. You are special to Him. You are the apple of His eye.
Do you see from these passages how much God cares for you and watches over you? He loves you with a love that would not let you take the punishment you deserved. He loves you with a love that will not let you alone in your sin. He loves you with a love that will not leave you nor forsake you. He loves you, yes, you.
We have an enemy. His name is satan. He is the devil. He hates us and wants one thing for us. He wants us to think that we are no good, are not worth anything and even if we are worth anything, we will never have anything because we are not capable of having the kind of faith that it takes to be somebody.
Well, let me put to rest these lies right now. Satan is a liar and the father of liars. He is no good. God is the Father of Truth. He is good. He thinks you are valuable, precious, like the finest jewelry in the earthly realm. You are a gem, one of a kind, designed by the Maker Himself, and He does not make any mistakes in creating you. You are His creation, created in His likeness when you are born again, when you become His child. And your Father, in Whose image you are created, is perfection itself. He doesn’t create any seconds. We are all firsts, first in His mind and first in quality. The quality control of heaven is perfect, no imperfections.
I don’t care what you think. What you must ponder is what God thinks about you. Focus on His Word regarding your preciousness. Study His Word to find out what He thinks about you. Meditate His Word in your mind and heart until you have a clear image of what you look like in the Kingdom of God. Then carry that image until you see it become reality in this earth. Nothing is impossible with God. What has He shown you about your destiny? What has He chosen you to do? You do have a place and a purpose. You were not just randomly created.
