YOUR LIFE IS CAREFULLY PLANNED BY GOD


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved (Ephesians 1:4-6).

Consider the tenses in what we just read! Look what we’ve got! It’s part of the reasons you should never think weakness, failure, defeat, poverty or sickness. 

Your life was preordained and carefully planned by God for the praise of His grace. 

He planned ahead of time to bring us up in Christ for the praise of the glory of His grace so that when people see us, they say, “Wow, God is great!”

It parallels something similar that the Bible says in 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].” 

He preordained you for an excellent life. Glory to God.

That means there’s no room for frustration, sadness and gloom in your life. There's no need to be jealous or envious of anyone. You were fashioned for an excellent life. 

He had everything about your life well thought out; none of us is a mistake.

There's nothing about your life that God didn't know was coming; no surprises. And all these are based on His excellent wisdom. 

Read our theme scripture further to the 8th verse; it says,Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence.”

In other words, there's nothing about your life that's outside the framework of God's conception. 

He’s already done everything He needed to do for your life to be a continual stream of testimonies. Therefore, live joyfully every day, praising Him. Hallelujah!

Dear Father, I live joyfully every day, praising you, knowing that your nature is in me and your brand is on me. 
I’m fashioned for good works and to live the good life which you have prearranged for me.
 There’s no room for frustration, sadness and gloom in my life because I’m a superior being, created without any defect. I function perfectly and excellently for your glory. Amen.

       📖 FURTHER STUDY:

Ephesians 2:10 NLT;   For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

James 1:18;   James 1:18 KJV  
[18] Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

Jeremiah 29:11;   For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Rhapsody Of Realities Teevo ~ Pastor Chris

PRIDE COULD COST YOU

(Keep Walking In Humility)

LET’S TALK
One morning, Tom arrived at class considerably late. Unfortunately, his preferred seat had already been occupied by another student. 

Due to a disagreement with Henry, another classmate, the previous night, Tom was unwilling to share a seat with him.

Addressing the situation, Jerry, Tom’s class teacher, questioned, “Tom, what do you mean by ‘I won’t sit around Henry’?” Tom calmly responded, “I would prefer to stand here at the back of the class, sir.”

Jerry, maintaining authority, stated, “Mister Proud Tom, regardless of what transpired between you and Henry, please take a seat or you can forget about this course grade.” Tom acquiesced and found a seat as instructed.

Tom had some pride, and it almost cost him dearly. This is why we have the Lord Jesus as our perfect example in everything: He was humility personified. 

You couldn’t follow or emulate Him and miss your way. He said, “…I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life” (John 8:12) 

You couldn’t follow His steps and walk in pride; it’s impossible! There’re those who say they’re afraid pride might take a hold of them.

 No, not when you truly know and follow Jesus. The way to follow Him is through the Word. 

Be a doer of the Word. Be submissive to the Lord and His Word; that’s true humility.

In Philippians 2:3, the Spirit adjures, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.” 

In essence, He’s saying, “Be humble!” Never disdain your brothers and sisters in Christ, especially your leaders in the Lord; be submissive.

Pride is of the devil. It led to his self-exultation, and for his haughtiness, God kicked him out of his place of honour. 

Make the conscious decision to walk in humility. It’s part of the manifestation of the life of Christ in you. It brings promotion. 

The Bible says God resists the proud and gives more grace to the humble. That grace results in honour, increase, enlargement, and progress. Hallelujah!

GO DEEPER
Philippians 2:5-9; 1 Peter 5:5-6; Romans 12:3

SPEAK
I’m submissive to the authority, influence, and impact of God’s Word. I receive the Word into my heart, acting accordingly and making definite changes in my character and attitude with and through the Word. 
Every day, I walk with humility of heart, with the willingness to take on the responsibility of service to others in loyalty to the Word, thereby attracting divine favour and promotion. Glory to God!

IT ALWAYS WORKS!

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11)

No matter the nation you are from, two plus two will always be four. Why? Because it’s a principle. 

God’s Word is full of principles too. This is why no matter the situation, once you apply the Word in faith, it’ll always work!

Therefore, as God’s Word comes to you, like right now, through your Rhapsody of Realities for Early Readers, or during times of fellowship, act on it by faith, for the Word always works.
