Morning with Ebenezer

HE KNEW YOU

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,

    before you were born I set you apart;

    I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

Jeremiah 1:5 NIV

God had a plan for you from the foundation of this world. He had prepared the good works in advance for you to do in this life. He had a purpose for your life, you were not born just to live and die without doing anything to expand His kingdom on this earth.

In the mean time Satan had a plan to make sure that plan of God for you will not prevail. God had a plan for Moses to be the one who will take out the children of Israel from the bondage of slavery in Egypt. Satan planned to kill him even before he could be able to understand good and bad. But God prepared his table before his enemies, and Moses was raised with those who wanted to kill him when he was a child.(Exodus 2, Psalm 23:5)

The daughter of Pharaoh raised Moses as her own child and he learnt all the wisdom of Egypt and he was powerful in speech and action, Acts 7:22. Then Satan wanted to ruin the main plan of salvation, he wanted to kill baby Jesus; God intervened and the angel of the LORD spoke with Joseph through dream that he should take baby Jesus down to Egypt.(Matthew 2:13-18)

This morning, God wants you to know that He knew you before He formed you in your mother's womb and His plan for you is still in action. There are different attempts from the devil to destroy the seed of purpose in you but they will not prevail. The enemy will continue to fight day and night that He may misdirect you from your purpose, but God will never let that happen.

He did not succeed to Moses, he total failed to Jesus and he will never ruin what God had in store since the foundation of this world for you. Keep being faithful, you may be falling every now and then but don't continue staying down when you fall. Stand up, wash yourself and continue with the journey.

In this journey of salvation the Lord will not take you to the climax of His plan in your life if you will not cooperate. He needs you to be obedient to what He will instruct you through His word and Spirit in order you can reach there. Don't give up, the Lord will strengthen you until the end.   

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your Word. I'm asking that You may help me to stick to your plan in my life no matter what happens. Help me to say no to sin and all the pleasures of this world that I may live for you in all the days of my life.
