God has chosen You!


2 Timothy 2:2
"And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses , the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also."

God wants you to be blessed , promoted and to be used by God mightily , effectively in this final hour. In the Bible , there is a man called , Timothy. Paul wanted him to be his successor. But some things are hindering Timothy to accept his promotion. First , his being young. But , Paul said , " Let no man despise your youth... "
(1 Timothy 4:12) Second , his being shy or timid . But Paul said , "For God hat not given us the spirit of fear , but of power , and of love , and of sound mind."
(2 Timothy 1:7) Third , his being not a pure Jew like Paul. Timothy's mother was a Jew and his father was Greek (Acts 16:3 , Phil. 3:4-6). And lastly , his weak stomach
( 1Timothy 5:23) . It is very clear that despite of these things that Timothy might have cosidered hindrances to his promotion , he was still chosen by God and Paul to be his successor. Paul called him a true son in faith , a brother in the Lord and a son in faith who is loyal to God and to him (1 Timothy 1:2 , 2 Timothy 1:5). Timothy's calling was irreversible.

Like Timothy , there are things in your life that you consider your weaknessess or disabilities. You always look at the weak areas of your lives. You magnify your shortcomings. These make you think that you are not qualified for promotions. These are also the things that hinder you to prosper. But , the great news is , despite of these so called weaknessess, God has chosen you and destined you to be blessed and be used by Him mightily , effectively in this final hour. God saw something in you that , He planned for you to be placed in a great position. Whether you recognize it or not , you have unique talents given by God. And God will surely help you and give you His anointing to do the task He entrusted to you.

Accept the challenge and accept the high position God intended for you. You must believe in God and in yourself. God wants you to excel in your studies or in the field you are in right now. You are destined for victory , blessing , promotion and success. You are meant to receive honors , medals and rewards .You are meant to be His instrument ; to be used by Him mightily , effectively in this final hour , for His Glory. You are created in His own image and likeness. You are chosen by God and has unique capabilities to carry out His will. And as He has willed it in your life , you will surely finish it.
