WHY WERE YOU BORN?*
(John 18:37 KJV)
Sunday 2nd March
YOU HAVE BEEN ORDAINED
(Jeremiah 1:5 KJV)
‘Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations’.
We continue to examine matters of destiny today, as we look at the life of Jeremiah. The scriptures have said that these things were written for our examples. Jeremiah has died and is long gone, but we are here still reading his story. It is therefore clear that God is no longer talking about Jeremiah or to Jeremiah, but about us and to us.
You were not just born; you were ordained before you were born, even before satan had the chance to throw his first arrow of evil at you. Way before your mother and your father even knew about each other, before you knew your name; you were ordained by God to be something and someone great in this life. You have been ordained for an assignment. You have been ordained to carry a certain kind of grace upon your life. You have been ordained to solve a certain kind of problem in this world.
To ordain is to order something. The word “order” is the root word for ordain. To ordain is to appoint someone for something. So to be ordained is to be appointed.
Over the years in the course of my life, I got to know and understand that I had been ordained to decode the mysteries that surround marriage and relationship by the word of God. I know that I have been ordained to bless youths and singles and to mentor them all over the world. Any church where I’m opportune to minister begins to recorded abundance of marriages upon my departure. This is because I have been engraced and ordained to reset the minds of single people to profitable existence; hence making marriage and marrying easy.
What have you been ordained for? What is your life all about? Where are you headed and what will this world miss when you leave?
Action Points/Prayer
i. Begin to pay spiritual attention from today and ask the Lord to reveal your ordination to you.
ii. Ask the Lord to order your steps in the path of righteousness from today, or in the path of your ordination in Jesus Name.
