Our inheritance in Him was predestinated

Jesus Christ is central to who we were, are, and are going to be. Yes, who we were. This is so because the person we used to be led us to who we are now and the person we are now will lead us to who we are going to be. At the core, we are who we will always be. But the decisions we make along the way brought about where we are per time. That tells us that decision is a very vital part of becoming who we were meant to be. Watch your decisions, they make or mar you.

Our decision determines whether or not we will come into our inheritance. As long as you are in Christ, you have an inheritance. The scriptures say:

"In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:" (Eph.1.11)

Your inheritance is in him and this has been predestinated by the purpose that God has in store for you. God will align and arrange situations and circumstances along your way that will bring you to make decisions that bring about what God predestinated.

The prodigal son ran riotous but God was waiting for his return because He knew what He had planned or predestinated for him. If he had not made those bad decisions he probably would not appreciate what God has in store for him. So God allowed him to wander around awhile and then allowed circumstances to make him see what he could be doing or have. ( see Luke 15)

Are you making the decisions that will align you with what God has predestinated for you? In Him, your inheritance was predestinated but awaits your unlocking it with the right decision.

Good day,
And have a great day today,

What's in a name?

What's in a name?  "He named him Noah, saying, "This one will give us a break from the hard work of farming the ground that GOD cursed." (Gen.5.29)  Names have prophetic attributes in them. When a thing is named, the name defines what it does and what it cannot do. When a person is named, his future is foretold, especially when the persons parents are in tune with the agenda of God. But that person has to work to bring that prophecy to reality.  John the baptist was a case in point when the wrong name would have been given. If the parent had not listened and obeyed God's instruction but instead bow to family and societal pressure.  "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." (Luke.1.60)  Another example is Benjamin, the second son from the loved-wife of Jacob. As the mother was dying from the pain of childbirth, he called the child Benoni but his father says not so, he shall be called Benjamin  "With her las

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem  "When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's". (1John.1.2 MSB) When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the sin passed through them to all men. And so the Bible recorded that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom.5.12)  But that was just the beginning of the story. Sin entered the world, and death came as a result of sin. It appears that mankind was doomed.  But Jesus came and served the punishment for sin and in so doing, He solved the sin problem for good. Now mankind has access once again to the Father. Now everything the Father has for us is at our disposal. Now we can reign by Jesus Christ and receive the abundance that God has for us.  "For if by one man's offence death reigned b

Who makes me who I am

An Isoko adage says, "the name you call yourself is what others will call you. Meeting students, I have had cause to ask them if that was the name their parents named them and they say no. My real name is...and then they tell me. But whatever they call themselves is what other students call them. You are who you say you are, but the truth is, you act the way you become because you think that's who you are. So if you called yourself a policeman when you are a soldier, you will act as a policeman. If you are an eagle but call yourself a chicken, then you will act like a chicken. If you call yourself a failure, that's what you begin to act as. Little wonder, Jabez changed his name in the place of prayer, he declared that he is blessed and God granted his prayers. (see 1Chro:4:9-10). The way you act is a deep-seated product of who you think you are and who you think you are is a product of who you call yourself. What do you call yourself? Who are you? "What
