You are predestined

 Meditation John 6:41-47


1. The Jews started murmuring of what CHRIST said that he is that bread that came down from heaven. (V41)
2. They told that they knew his parents as Mary and Joseph and then how he is telling he is coming down from heaven. ( V42)
3. JESUS told them not to murmur among themselves. (V43)
4. JESUS said to them nobody can come to the him unless the father draws them to him. He will raise them up on the last day. ( V44)
5. It is written that they will be taught of God. Every man that has heard and  learnt from the father comes to Christ. ( V45)
6. No man has seen the father except Christ.  (V46)
7. Surely, if we believe in Christ we will have everlasting life. (V47)

LIFE APPLICATION:
Nobody can come to the father except through CHRIST and unless the Father God draws a person to hear and learn from him, he can never accept Christ. (V45)

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

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Romans:8:30

So it is God who had foreknown us. He predestined us to be his sons and daughters, heirs and co-heirs to Christ Jesus.

He called us and when we respond to his call, he  not only justifies us but also glorifies us.

You are chosen:
The WORD of GOD says we are chosen to be of God even before the world began.

Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
Isaiah:41:9

Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
Isaiah:43:10

But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
2 Thessalonians:2:13

Dear Child of God,
Today I would like to comfort you with these words.
A. It is not we who chose God, but it is he who chose us.

B. We are a chosen generation and a royal priesthood.

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
1 Peter:2:9

C. We are God's choice for his son Jesus CHRIST, to be heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ.

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Romans:8:17

D. We are justified by the Grace of God.

That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Titus:3:7

E. In short, Read, Read and let us re-read this,  till faith increases in us, as faith comes by hearing the word of God.

1. I am chosen of God. (2 thess 2:13)

2. I am predestined to be glorified ( Romans 8:30)


3. God chose me to be his servant even from the ends of the earth. ( Isaiah 43:10)


4. My generation is chosen and we are peculiar people and a royal priesthood.  ( 1 Peter 2:9)


5. We are heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ. ( Romans 8:17)


6. We are justified and made righteous by Grace. ( Titus 3:7)


7. We are seated in the heavenly places with Christ Jesus. ( Ephesians 2:6)


  (And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

Ephesians:2:6

8. Through Christ Jesus we have all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places.


Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Ephesians:1:3

9. Because we believe in  Christ we have a life eternal.

( John 6:47)

Let us continue to ponder on these words... I am sure these scriptures can bring a radical breakthrough in our lives. Amen.
