It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever had a friend who promised to always be there, but at the sight of attacks they disappeared? When things were going well for you, they surrounded you with applauds and words of support. You could always depend on them (so you thought.) You were always there to encourage them when things were not going well. Now you are in need of encouragement and this same friend is no where to be found. (S)He is not answering their telephone. Not returning your e-mails or text messages. Have you ever endured a trying time alone? Naturally, there was no one around to lift you up. There were no get well cards coming through the mail. No roses being delivered to your doorstep. Have you ever had people speak against you, even though you were doing what the Lord required of you? Think about it …
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. To have people judge you, especially when you are being obedient to the will of God, can really hurt. Have you ever been there? Are you there now? If so, the Lord sent me here to tell you something. My friend, What God Ordains, He Maintains! You no longer have to explain or apologize for the blessings you are enjoying. God chose to do what He is doing in you. Your calling is real. Your anointing is from the Lord. Your purpose is God-given. The Bible declares in Romans 8:29-30 – 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. Why do you feel the need to explain to others why God is using you? No matter how you explain it, they will never understand it. Truth be told, you really do not understand why either.
My brother, my sister, What God Ordains, He Maintains! No matter how many people attempted it before you, if God said do it, He has a reason for you to do it. You are an original not a cheap copy. There is no one, no where like you. You are one of a kind. The Bible declares in John 15:16 – Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you. Beloved, what are you allowing to keep you from moving freely in the things of God? Who are you trying to explain it to? Why are you trying to justify God’s favor upon your life? What God Ordains, He Maintains! Has God chosen you? Are you operating in the calling of God for your life? Are you bound by the opinions of others? Child of God, you are chosen for this assignment. No one else can do it for you or like you. God wants you! The Bible declares in Matthew 22:14 – For many are called, but few are chosen. Prayer for Today: Father, thank you for ordaining me for this great assignment. Today I commit myself to fulfilling Your will, Your way. In Jesus’ name … Amen!
