Irrespective of whom you are now and what you will be later in life; irrespective of what you are doing now and what you will be doing many years from now whether good or bad; irrespective of your religion and religious affiliations; it does not matter whether you are a true believer and follower of Jesus Christ or not; whether you are born again or not; irrespective of the color of your skin, gender, age, language and location; irrespective of you beliefs, wealth, and level of education; irrespective of you marital status and number of children or grandchildren, the Lord God Almighty and the everlasting God knows you before you were conceived and had purposely predestined you for something good. It is what you now consistently believe and practice that will confirm God’s original plans, purpose and will for your life.
You cannot run away from God’s knowledge of who, what and where you are though you may decide to run away from His presence; you cannot miss His plan and purpose when you decide to follow Him and spend time with Him and His words and presence because you have been unduly delayed, denied and suffer lots of frustration in life. Predestination is the divine foreordaining or foreknowledge of all that will happen at any time and moment; though it has been particularly associated with the teachings in the bible. Predestination is God ordering things and people the way and manner He likes and wants. It is good taking you to the very best besides your dreams, visions, desires, labor and investment in any venture. When God predestined, He also leads the way with miraculous things happening despite all the attacks, frustrations and disappointments from the devil, He also ensures your overall safety despite the presence of things that seeks to destroy you; He defends you against the works and workers of evil irrespective of their numbers; He guides you through the valleys of despair, stress, sickness, rejections and evil manipulations.
With or without reference to any form of theology, the true meaning of predestination is that God did not bring you into the world without having a solid plan and a unique purpose which are often referred to as God’s divine will. It is an absolute fact that you were formed in your mother’s womb with a purpose to live for, an aim to pursue and fulfill, and a divine reason with a divine revelation to look up to in your life. In God’s calendar, you were predestined for the best despite what is now, and His plans will definitely work for and in you. Never rule out being challenged and having confrontations in life, you have been predestined to overcome them as they come, to have victory in Christ and to be a man or woman of dignity, in God’s presence and records, you have been predestined for the very best. Yes, you were predestined for good and never for evil, so when evil comes, know that you will overcome them because they was never predestined for you by God; you were predestined to have good success in that which God had assigned for you to do in life, so when failure raises its ugly head against your dreams and visions or come knocking on the door of your residence, family, business, and children, know that it is just temporal, refuse to kill yourself; it will pass away because you were not predestined to accommodate them indefinitely; you will get past it.
When king David realized he was predestined by God, he declared with all assurance; “The Lord is my Shepherd to feed, to guide and to shield me, I shall not want. He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still and quiet waters. He refreshes and restores my life; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Even though I walk through the sunless valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod to protect and your staff to guide, they comfort and console me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You have anointed and refreshed my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell forever throughout all my days in the house and in the presence of the Lord.” Psalm 23:1-6.
