Text: Romans 8:28-32.
” 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?“
We are here in this Thanksgiving Service to Praise and Adore Him for 38 solid Days of His Mercies and Protection over our lives this year. He averted many evils over us. We are destined to succeed because The “Umpire or Referee” of life is our Father and our God Who makes all things work together for our good. Our above Text makes us know God predestined us before we were born and is now conforming us to The Image of His Son Jesus Christ. It is a great privilege to be a child of God for He has justified us and is also glorifying us. 1 Cor. 2:9 says “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man. The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
As a believer, you are not a product of chance; God had an eternal plan for your life before the foundation of the world.
God not only predestined you but is also now proving to the world that He is Your Lord! He called you to showcase you.1 Peter 1:9 “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” God’s thoughts towards you are good, peaceful, and with a great future.
The same God that helped the Israelites to triumph (Exod. 15) over the Egyptians is still on His Throne and will also help you to triumph over your life.
Regardless of your position today, God will make all things work together for your good. Our Theme for this month in IGA is “Divine Positioning and Placement”. God is taking you somewhere great because He has called and justified you and will glorify you this Year. May you be Divinely Positioned to succeed this year.
In conclusion, Romans 8:31-32 – What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He Who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
God Bless You!
