GREATNESS BY ELECTION Part 2

BY: JUDAH OLATUNDE

1 Peter  2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Romans  9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
9:12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
  9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

You're not the one who just woke up and decided to be great, God Himself had already ordained you for greatness. Your starting point may be gloominess but your end point is glory and dignity.

Jesus came down to the earth to show us a mystery which has been before the world was how that your location or where you were born has no power to determine your end in life.

Even if Jacob had not followed his mother's opinion, he would still have gotten the blessing. The reason is because he was already chosen and as long as he kept on walking with God, God was committed to see to it that everything spoken concerning him was fulfilled.

Have you ever wondered why Esau sold his birthright? Or do you just assumed it was just due to hunger? No it wasn't. It was a prophecy that led to that.

If Esau had known he was about to sign a contract which he would never be able to retract, he wouldn't have done that but because the process had been completed spiritually, the physical process too had to be concluded seeing that Jacob never went against divine will.

You have been chosen, specially selected and elected to become very great in Him.

*INSIGHTS FOR TODAY: God never brought you into this world so as to come and do what you please or think is right. He brought you here to fulfill that which He had prepared long before deciding to make you. (Judah Olatunde)*

*Prayer: Father, I ask that you lead me, guide me continually and let no man replace me like Saul and Judas. Every power that wants me to end in frustration shall be frustrated and every power that wants to push me against divine will shall crash in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*
