Predetermined & Predestined

“Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you: A prophet to the nations— that’s what I had in mind for you.”
Jeremiah 1:5 MSG
https://bible.com/bible/97/jer.1.5.MSG

I'll ask myself, is it really possible that before my existence God knew everything about me? This verse is filled with the mystery of God's infinite power.
God who created everything, also created us... Every single life, planned or unplanned, God knew about it.  We have been set apart before our natural existence.  We do not have to go about our lives trying to figure out who we are because our identity has been predetermined and predestined.

It sounds impossible, unbelievable and farfetched. But God is not a man that He would lie to us.  Impossibility is God's speciality... nothing is impossible with God.

Jesus said to His disciples, ''I came to you sent from the Father’s presence, and I entered into the created world, and now I will leave this world and return to the Father’s side.”
John 16:28 TPT
https://bible.com/bible/1849/jhn.16.28.TPT

The journey we choose to walk will determine if we will return to Our Father's side and hear: "Well done my child. Welcome home!"

In the beginning [before all time] was the Word ( Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. He was [continually existing] in the beginning [co-eternally] with God. All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him not even one thing was made that has come into being. In Him was life [and the power to bestow life], and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness did not understand it or overpower it or appropriate it or absorb it [and is unreceptive to it].
JOHN 1:1‭-‬5 AMP
https://bible.com/bible/1588/jhn.1.1-5.AMP

The Light of men will ultimately illuminate our predestined path that we have to walk. This path is filled with milk and honey that will strengthen us on our journey which will leads us into the King's Courts.

The Victor's Crown

Image
"Isn’t it obvious that all runners on the racetrack keep on running to win, but only one  receives the victor’s prize? Yet each one of you must run the race to be victorious. A true  athlete will be disciplined in every respect, practicing constant self-control in order to win a  laurel wreath that quickly withers. But we run our race to win a victor’s crown that will last  forever. For that reason, I don’t run just for exercise or box like one throwing aimless  punches, but I train like a champion athlete. I subdue my body and get it under my control,  so that after preaching the good news to others I myself won’t be disqualified." 1 Corinthians 9:24‭-‬27 TPT https://bible.com/bible/1849/1co.9.24-27.TPT #makeJesusfamous

THE GIFT IN THE REBUKE

Image
A parent has the responsibility to shape and mould their children from an early age.  A mother corrects her child while breastfeeding, giving gentle instructions. A close friend and sister in Christ recently gave birth to a beautiful baby boy and listening to her new profound journey in motherhood is just so beautiful.  From the first moment, the feeding process is accompanied with teaching and instruction to ensure growth and development. This goes hand in hand with the intimate bond between a child and parent. like newborn babies [you should] long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may be nurtured and grow in respect to salvation [its ultimate fulfillment], if in fact you have [already] tasted the goodness and gracious kindness of the Lord. 1 PETER 2:2‭-‬3 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/1pe.2.2-3.AMP Photo found on Pinterest.

The Beautiful Garden

Image
"Then God planted a garden in Eden, in the east. He put the Man he had just made in it. God made all kinds of trees grow from the ground, trees beautiful to look at and good to eat. The Tree-of-Life was in the middle of the garden, also the Tree-of-Knowledge-of-Good-and-Evil. A river flows out of Eden to water the garden and from there divides into four rivers." Genesis 2:8‭-‬10 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/gen.2.8-10.MSG The Extraordinary Creator did not restricts us from eating from the Tree of Life. Jesus Christ is the Truth, the Way and The Life.  We are invited every day to come and eat from the Tree of Life.  God especially planted, the garden in the east of Eden, where He put Adam.  The garden gave sustenance and freedom in the original identity of man. Jesus Christ came to give us back that freedom and to give us life in abandance.  His yoke is easy and light, thus, we are free in Christ. The tree we were not supposed to eat from flooded our
