Access Your Glorious Destiny in Christ

Jeremiah 1:5 
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

Nobody living on this earth is here by chance. No matter the circumstances surrounding our birth, we were all made by God and willed into this earth by God. Ultimately, God is the author of all lives, including yours. You are not on earth by chance. You are not a biological accident. You have a purpose and destiny designed by God; no matter where you have been and what you have been. It is never too early nor too late. Find that purpose and manifest it. Abraham was called at 75; Moses at 80. Jeremiah was called at a younger age.

The Lord said to Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah did not begin to exist only in his mother’s womb. God knew him before. And the same God sanctified him; that meant: set him apart for a prophetic ministry.

That same God is the One who created you. He knew you before and God does not create anything for fancy or leisure. He had a purpose in mind when creating you. You have a destiny with God and once you are in Christ, that destiny becomes glorious. Hallelujah!

The Bible reveals in Romans 8:29: “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.”

So, first, every human was predestined to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ.

Can you imagine that? Same image, same nature, same position of co-heir with Christ to the inheritance of God. You must identify with Christ to access your glorious destiny.

Secondly, Paul reveals that, “whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified” (Rom 8: 29-30).

You were predestined, called, and justified in order to be glorified. This puts an end to shame and reproach in your life. You are not to be pitied, but to be envied. You have a glorious destiny in Christ. Believe it and manifest it.
