Topic :You Were In God’s Plan.
Memory Verse:Romans 8:31. In view of all this, what can we say? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Bible Reading :Romans 8:28-30 GNB. Key Verse: v 29.
We know that in all things God works for good with those who love him, those whom he has called according to his purpose. Those whom God had already chosen he also set apart to become like his Son, so that the Son would be the eldest brother in a large family. And so those whom God set apart, he called; and those he called, he put right with himself, and he shared his glory with them.
God’s wisdom is perfect. When the devil thought he had his way in the case of man because of the fall, after deceiving him in Eden. God released a joker in his son Jesus. Because the coming of the Messiah had been prophesied on time, hell and rulers of darkness was at alert trying to fathom how, when and where he would be born, so that they check if there could be any way they could puncture God’s plan. God had to bring Jesus Christ our saviour to the scene in an unusual manner from a least expected place. The Holy Spirit in his wisdom chose to pass through an unknown virgin and sealed it up with Joseph in his suspicion. At the time of delivery of baby Jesus, he chose an unexpected place, a manger. Even king Herod in his envy and rage couldn’t tie down the newborn child. The Spirit of God made sure that the wise men from the east whom he chose to confide in avoided him because of his wicked plan against baby Jesus. Mathew 2:1-12.
Satan wanted to abort the earthly assignment of Jesus Christ our Lord through death which failed to work till when God himself permitted it because it served his eternal purpose. Now, Jesus came to raise many sons unto the father after himself. “But we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, so that through God’s grace he should die for everyone. We see him now crowned with glory and honour because of the death he suffered. It was only right that God, who creates and preserves all things, should make Jesus perfect through suffering, in order to bring many children to share his glory. For Jesus is the one who leads them to salvation. He purifies people from their sins, and both he and those who are made pure all have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his family.” Hebrews 2:9-11.
Today we need to understand that as believers in Christ, we have become members of his royal heavenly or Spiritual family. As sons in the household of God, we bear the image of Jesus Christ himself by the help of his Spirit given to us. All that he is or he has as Lord, he is able to share with us as joint family members and heirs of righteousness in him. This status affords us undeniable rights and privileges before the Lord that makes our earthly existence meaningful. This means that in Christ Jesus, God gave us his best and all which we must take advantage of through the channel of grace. “This plan, which God will complete when the time is right, is to bring all creation together, everything in heaven and on earth, with Christ as head. All things are done according to God’s plan and decision; and God chose us to be his own people in union with Christ because of his own purpose, based on what he had decided from the very beginning. Let us, then, who were the first to hope in Christ, praise God’s glory!” Ephesians 1:10-12.
Prayer :Thank you Father God because you had me at heart when you sent Jesus to the earth in the flesh. Help me by your Spirit to understand your plan and to live in the reality of what he did for me and the new covenant he brought us into in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.
