RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL.(FEBRUARY«»2014) THEME«»LIVING IN HIS DIVINE PLAN. WEDNESDAY«»12TH«»FEBRUARY«»2014 WITH«»ANITA CHRIS OYAKHILOME 10 For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]. (Scriptural Ref«»Ephesians 2:10 AMP). Locating yourself in God’s plan and fulfilling His destiny for you is your responsibility. You’re to see to it that you walk in the path that He’s prepared for you. Colossians 4:17 says, “…Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.” That just about says it all: it’s not the Lord’s responsibility, but yours, to fulfil His calling and destiny for your life. In living out God’s destiny for you, first you’d have to have a good knowledge and understanding of the Word. God’s Word is His Wisdom and Light (Proverbs 1:20, 23, Psalm 119:130). As you study and meditate on it, you receive insight, direction, and divine counsel; you’re guided to know and function in God’s perfect will for your life. In addition, you must constantly yield yourself to the Holy Spirit. He’s the One who unveils mysteries and divine secrets to you, and helps you to discover yourself in God’s dream. Jesus called Him the Spirit of truth, which means the Spirit of reality; He unveils the realities of life to you (John 16:13), and guides you to fulfil the will of the Father. Whenever He prompts you from within to do something, don’t argue; go ahead and take the step. The more yielded you are to Him, the more He can work out His purpose through you. CONFESSION. I’m growing in grace and in the knowledge of God’s Word to know His divine plans and perfect will for my life! I’m guided by the Spirit, and propelled by divine wisdom in the direction of God’s destiny for me. Halleluiah. F U R T H E R S T U D Y : Colossians 2:6-7(KJV) 6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Colossians 2:6-7(GWT) 6 You received Christ Jesus the Lord, so continue to live as Christ’s people. 7 Sink your roots in him and build on him. Be strengthened by the faith that you were taught, and overflow with thanksgiving. Colossians 2:6-7(AMP) 6 As you have therefore received Christ, [even] Jesus the Lord, [so] walk (regulate your lives and conduct yourselves) in union with and conformity to Him. 7 Have the roots [of your being] firmly and deeply planted [in Him, fixed and founded in Him], being continually built up in Him, becoming increasingly more confirmed and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and abounding and overflowing in it with thanksgiving. Jeremiah 7:23(KJV) 23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. Jeremiah 7:23(AMP) 23 But this thing I did command them: Listen to and obey My voice, and I will be your God and you will be My people; and walk in the whole way that I command you, that it may be well with you.
