Ephesians 1:3–4
“Blessed and worthy of praise be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ, just as [in His love] He chose us in Christ [actually selected us for Himself as His own] before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy [that is, consecrated, set apart for Him], blameless in His sight…”
No matter what happens—believe Him and keep stepping.
When everything’s shaking and your flesh wants to quit—believe Him and keep stepping.
Because what He’s asking isn’t complicated: keep walking in Him.
Even if you don’t understand, even if the road seems unclear, walk forward in obedience and do everything He said.
The Gifts Weren’t for You—They Were for the Body
1 Corinthians 12:1–11
All the gifts of the Spirit… are for the common good.
Every spiritual gift God gave you wasn’t for your ego, your platform, or your personal ministry. They were given to build up the Body, not inflate your name.
You were entrusted with a gift so you could give it away.
God didn’t give you power so you could hoard it. He gave you gifts to strengthen His people, to serve, to equip, and to bring glory to Jesus—not to yourself.
So build up the Church.
Use the gift for Him.
Let every gift become a bridge that leads someone closer to Jesus—not a stage for self.
You Were Designed for Jesus Before the Beginning
Romans 8:29–30
“For those whom He foreknew [and loved and chose beforehand], He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son…”
Before God ever spoke the universe into existence, He had already written your name in His eternal plan. You weren’t an accident—you were a divine intention.
His plan was for you to be shaped into the image of Jesus.
Not just forgiven.
Not just saved.
Transformed.
You were created to walk in the newness of life—the life of Jesus flowing in and through you.
His death became your death.
His resurrection became your resurrection.
You are no longer alive in the flesh—you are alive in the Spirit of Life.
The Prophetic Call to Shine
Jeremiah 1:4–10 / Isaiah 49:1–6
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you… I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
From the moment He called you—He put His words in your mouth.
You weren’t called to be a churchgoer. You were called to be a watchman, a prophet, a light-bearer.
You were never meant to be silent.
He chose you to speak what you see.
To go where He sends you.
To say what He says.
To cry aloud and not hold back.
You were not called to be liked—you were called to be light.
“I called you to be the light of the world. To go forth and bear My name. To pull people out of darkness and bring them to Me…”
This world doesn’t need more religious voices.
It needs voices that carry light.
So walk in Him.
Let His light shine through your life—until the world no longer sees you… but sees Him.
Final Charge:
You were chosen.
You were filled.
You were sent.
Not to blend in—but to burn.
Not to impress—but to intercede.
Not to live for yourself—but to reveal the Son.
Let every step you take today echo this truth:
“I was made to shine for Jesus.”
