YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN!

1Peter2v9 says;

"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood an holy nation, a peculiar people: that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light"

I am not doubtful about your being familiar with the above scripture but let me help dig out a few thoughts that will boost your faith to the level of productivity. So many of you have being christians for donkey years yet nothing to show for it as it were and you are already giving up, wondering why things seem not to be working for you compared to others.

One critical way to know if you are still in line with the hope of glory, Col 1v27 is to check if you are among the chosen or the masses. Let's beam our light on the chosen:

Who are the chosen?

1. They are born-again christians saved by grace and not by self will, Ephesians 2v5

2. They are righteous, Rom 10v10

3. They go through lots of trials or challenges as you may know it but are delivered in all by God, Psalms 34v19

4. They fall several times but surely rise again, Prov 24v16

5. They are never forsaken: God will always come to their rescue, Psalms 37v25, Isaiah 43v2

6. Their lives are battle-filled-like initially but they end up on thrones: ask Joseph in Gen 39-41

7. They become epistles and testimonies to be read of the world

Conclusively, I am sent to tell you that you are set on the course that you must follow to your throne, you are not making a mistake and God is with you working on you to show forth His praise so, don't give up! Press on because you are almost at the end of the tunnel and your nights will be over soon, Psalm 30v5b.

Good morning.
