GOD HAVE PERFECTED ALL CONCERNING YOU

"For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world" (Hebrews 4:3). 

The other day, I saw an artist painting a particular work. It was in a competition. At the first, I could not make any meaning out of the patches on the board. So also were the judges who were already thinking of telling the artist to step aside. But eventually, the artist finished his work, turned the board upside-down, and what emerged was an incredible masterpiece of an artwork. Here's the point. The work that was begun before our very eyes was already finished in the mind of the artist. 

Would you be willing to believe with me that God has already finished His works concerning your life? The Bible says that His works were finished from the foundation of the world. That includes all the solutions you ever needed from God. It means that long before your grandparents were born, the issues of the life you will live had been thought through by God. He had considered the challenges you will face and the needs you will have (including the present ones), and He had made appropriate provisions for you to triumph in life. All that remains is for you to walk into what God has accomplished for you in Christ Jesus. 

For example, if you are praying to God for a marriage partner, it is certain that the answer to your prayer is already in existence. God is not just about creating the man or woman you will marry. He or she had been born long before the idea of marriage ever came into your mind. The materials with which you will build your house are already in existence. The truth is that on the side of God, all things are ready for you to have the fulfilled life you have always wanted. Today, I pray for you to receive grace to walk in that which God has already prepared for you. 

Friends, the script of your life had been written from the foundation of the world. The problem with most of us is that we want to live our lives without the One who wrote our script. When you try to live independent of the God who gave you life and has mapped out the path you should take, you are bound to run into troubles. The path God mapped out for you and me is the path of honour, glory, dignity and victory. It will take God Himself to guide our feet along that path. 

This is where submission and obedience to God come in. This is where faith, trusting in the Lord with the whole of our heart becomes an absolute necessity. Today, I pray that God, in His infinite mercy will bring you to that place of submission to His majesty and obedience to His commands. I pray that faith will rise up in your heart to lay hold on the promises of God and appropriate them for your peace, in Jesus Christ's name.
