Eph.1:4
And in love He chose us before He laid the foundation of the universe! Because of His great love, He ordained us, so that we would be seen as holy in His eyes with an unstained innocence.
Before the world was made God’s love towards His children made Him chose us by the salvation we got through Christ, making us holy and without fault in His own eyes, what a great God we have!
In Heb.1:1-3, the scripture says God who used to speak with men of old with revelation that was only a fragment at a time, now speaks to us openly in the language of a Son, accomplishing through His Son in us, the complete cleansing of our sins. Meaning that now, He has made us holy to Himself, such that whenever He looks at us, He only sees blameless people. Our selection is of ancient time (Jer.1:5).
Our ordination is for a purpose as is the baptism with the Holy Spirit, it is that we will be His ambassadors, representing Him and His will to those who have not accepted or who are oblivious of the privilege that they have been created into. He said in Act.1:8, that we are to be His witness to the entire world, without exception! It is important to note that, in choosing us, He did so, so that we may grow and be better versions of who we presently are. Whether it is Abraham, Moses, Elisha, Peter or Paul, the moment they heeded the call to be His ambassadors , their lives became better and the became better people, plus they became too important in their generation to be ignored.
The Lord is calling out to all His children to go out and make disciples of the whole earth, but many are not responding….Are you? Power has been given to you to become a wonder to your generation and those unborn, you however need to activate that power by rising and going in His name. The men of old that went, have a good heritage and left their print on the sand of time. It is your turn to do the same, being an also ran is destiny not fulfilled ( do not be another Methuselah).
You were selected before the foundation of the world was laid, justify the confidence God has in you.
