Message
In Jeremiah 1:5, God said to Jeremiah, "...Before |formed thee in the belly, I knew thee..."You did no come to the world by accident; hence, God will no let the events of your life unfold by accident. As long ag you are a child of God, everything that happens to you whether you consider them good or bad, will work together for your good, as we see in today's memory verse.
When you really consider all that God did to bring you close to Himself, you will know that He is great Believe me, the mere fact that you are still alive today means that God has not finished with you yet. Before you were born, He saw all that you would go through in order to fulfil your destiny. Therefore, be at rest because God is in control. His thoughts towards you are of good and not of evil to bring you to an expected end(Jeremiah 29:11).
Not long after I joined the Redeemed Christian Church of God, God made it clear to me that I was fulfilling His purpose for my life. He told me very clearly that although I was an academic, I was to follow a spiritual leader who didn't have formal education. At one time, the same person who invited me to the church advised me to leave. After I organised the first Christ the Redeemer's Congress which was a huge success, he told me, "Now, we have found your ministry. You can organise it, and I will finance it; we don't need this church." However, I just smiled and refused his offer There were people who made my life very difficult because decided to stay in the church. There were Several opportunities to leave, but God was merciful and He showed me that I was properly positioned for everything to work together for my good.
Beloved, all things will work together for your good when you love God and stay in His purpose. However, you can't disobey Him and expect that things will turn out for your good. You can't leave the place God has asked you to stay or stay where God has asked you to leave and enjoy what God has prepared for you. If you are living in sin, turn to God today and repent. No matter how terrible your past is, once you turn to Him, He will make everything work together for your good.
