“He will give and explain to you a message by
means of which you and all your household [as well] will be saved [from
eternal death].” Acts 11:14 (AMP)
The
bible lets us know about the Roman centurion Cornelius. He was “A devout man,
and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people,
and prayed to God alway” (Acts 10:2).
Notice,
that in spite of all his giving and all his praying, God still needed him to be
saved. This is because until you are saved, you cannot enter into God’s plan
for your life. But for him to be saved, God told him to send for Peter, who
shall tell him words by which he will be saved. (Acts 11:13-14). From this, we
can see that Peter was an answer to prayer. God sent him to Cornelius as a
Prophet. Just like we see in Jeremiah 1:5.
You
have to know this that when you get born again, Ephesians 2:10 becomes a
reality in your life. This is because; you become “his workmanship created in
Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk
in them.” From this scripture, the word is saying to us that we are the
product of God (God’s workmanship). That means that when you get born again,
you are reprogrammed into Gods original plan for your life. You are
reprogrammed into your purpose.
If
you are not born again, you cannot walk in God’s purpose just like that. This
is because the unbeliever is hindered by his bad habits and wicked heart. Every
one that is not born again has a wicked heart whether he knows it or not. The
bible lets us know in Ephesians 2:2, that the devil is at work in the life of
the unbeliever. That means every unbeliever is under the influence of the devil,
whether he knows it or not.
That
is why you’ve got to be born again. Don’t remain another day as an unbeliever,
if you are reading this devotional and you are not yet born again. You have to
get born again today, because the bible calls the unbeliever the children of
wrath (Ephesians 2:3), that means the anger of God is upon the unbeliever. The
only way to be saved from God’s wrath, and then enter into God’s plan for your
life is to be born again.
So,
if you are reading this today and you are already born again, give praise to
God because, you have been programmed into God’s original plan for your life,
and you have been delivered from God’s wrath.
PRAYER
Father,
I thank you for revealing your ultimate plan of salvation for me and the rest
of the world. As I walk in it, may God’s peace and the assurance of salvation
fill my heart and reprogram my life into His purpose. In Jesus Name. Amen.
