WHY GOD CHOSE YOU

Memorise:
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. ..  Matthew 23:12

Read:
1 Corinthians 1:26-29

Message

If God has called you for an assignment, you may be thinking, "Why is it me He chose out of everyone that could have done this work?" Well, Psalm 115:3 says that God does as He pleases.

Believe me, He made that decision to use you for that assignment from the foundation of the world. He chose you before He said, "Let there be light" in Genesis 1:3. Ephesians 1:4 says:

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:

When I see people that are anxious about their future, I tell them, "Relax. Do you think God doesn't know what to do? Do you think He is sitting in heaven, scratching His Almighty head and asking for advice on what next to do?" God Settled your future before the foundation of the earth. This is why I am not worried; my future was settled before I was born. This is why you should be humble because you didn't choose yourself (John 15:16). You are not chosen because you are educated or connected, it is the exact opposite.

1 Corinthians 1:27 says that God chooses the foolish things, the weak things, and the things that are nought. If God chose you, it means you are foolish by human standards; you are weak, and you are nothing by human standards. even if it appears as if you are wise by human standards, the moment you surrender all to God and begin to live strictly by His standards, the world will begin to see you as a foolish person. So, never raise your head in pride about your achievements. Nebuchadnezzar tried it and found himself in the bushes. For the rest of your life, you must be grateful to God. David said in Psalm 34:1:

I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

David knew what he was talking about. God chose Him to be the king of Israel even when his family members would not have voted for him if he ran for elections. I believe that right now, God is talking to you concerning this because of how high He wants to take you. If you listen and become humble, then He will lift you, but if you refuse to humble yourself, then you will be abased (Matthew 23:12). Let pride disappear from your life completely.

Bible In One Year:
Numbers 19-21

Hymn:
O What A Wonderful Wonderful Day

Reflection:
Check yourself sincerely, is there still pride lurking anywhere in your heart? Get rid of it today.

King James Version

1 Corinthians 1:26-29

For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: [27] But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; [28] And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: [29] That no flesh should glory in his presence.

O What A Wonderful Wonderful Day

  1. Oh What A Wonderful Wonderful Day Day I Will Never Forget After I’d Wandered In Darkness Away Jesus My Savior I Met Oh What A Tender Compassionate Friend He Met The Need Of My Heart Shadows Dispelling With Joy I Am Telling He Made All The Darkness Depart

    2. Chorus:
    Heaven Came Down And Glory Filled My Soul When At The Cross The Savior Made Me Whole My Sins Were Washed Away And My Night Was Turned To Day Heaven Came Down And Glory Filled My Soul

  2. Born Of The Spirit With Life From Above Into God’s Fam’ly Divine Justified Fully Thru Calvary’s Love Oh What A Standing Is Mine And The Transaction So Quickly Was Made When As A Sinner I Came Took Of The Offer Of Grace He Did Proffer He Saved Me Oh Praise His Dear Name
  3. Now I’ve A Hope That Will Surely Endure After The Passing Of Time; I Have A Future In Heaven For Sure There In Those Mansions Sublime And It’s Because Of That Wonderful Day When At The Cross I Believed; Riches Eternal And Blessings Supernal From His Precious Hand I Received
