Shine in your purpose.

 “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.” 
Romans 8:29(KJV)      

The word 'foreknow' in our opening scripture means to 'know beforehand', 'to foreordain', 'to foresee'. In other words, God knew us beforehand, foreordained and foresaw us before we were born into this world.

The word 'predestinate' means 'to determine beforehand,' 'to mark off.' In other words, God has marked you for your destiny. God has marked your path. There is a predestined path for you.

Ephesians 2:10(AMP) says, “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].” When you enter that path you will only experience a greater glory each day.

This is why the Bible says in Proverbs 4:18(AMP), “But the path of the [uncompromisingly] just and righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines more and more

(brighter and clearer) until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day [to be prepared].”

Do you want to shine? Then follow the path that God has ordained for you to follow. Find that path and start walking in it until the perfect day. The perfect day is the day when you stand before Jesus, shining in all His glory.

Another way to shine is to get involved with His plan of salvation. Become a soul winner and start leading others to Christ. As you do, the Bible says in Daniel 12:3, “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” Praise God.

PRAYER
Thank you Dear Father for foreordaining me and determining beforehand that I should fulfill this destiny that you have assigned for me. I thank you for as I walk in it, my path will shine brightly more and more until the perfect day. In Jesus Name. Amen.
