Christ and your destiny

Christ and your destiny.

“Who first saved us and then called us to this holy work. We had nothing to do with it. It was all his idea, a gift prepared for us in Jesus long before we knew anything about it.”                      
 2 Timothy 1:9(MSG)

Your destiny is hidden in Christ; therefore anyone who lives and dies without receiving Jesus Christ has lived a wasted life. This is because it is only in Christ you can enter into your destiny. He saved you with His life so that you can live for His purpose for your life. The day you got born again was actually the first day you entered into your destiny.

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].” The Message Bible puts it this way, “No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing.” This shows us that a truly fulfilled life is a life lived for the fulfillment of God's purpose.

Confession.
I declare by my faith that I am God's own handiwork; I am God's workmanship, recreated in Christ Jesus. I am born again and empowered to do the good works which God predestined and planned beforehand for me to do. I am taking paths which He prepared ahead of time that I should walk in. I am living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for me to live. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
