….You have not chosen, I have chosen you and ordained you to go forth and produce fruit….” John 15:16 (NKJV)
One of the beautiful things about our walk in Christ Jesus is that He chose us first before we decided to choose Him. Now, this is very significant because it lets us know how much Jesus loves us. It lets us know how much value our Lord Jesus Christ had for us and that was what led Him to pay the ultimate price for us. He had the opportunity to choose His life in place of our own in the face of death, but He chose us instead and because of that, He paid dearly for it on the Cross of Calvary. It wasn’t an easy task, it wasn’t something anybody can ordinarily do for you, but because He loved you and chose you, He went all out just to make sure that the provisions for eternal bliss with God is secured for you. Today, He is seated in heavenly places at the right hand of God (Ephesians 1: 20-21) and you are seated together with Him (Ephesians 2:5-6).
Now, why is this important? The reason is because sometimes, the devil tries to lie to us and make us feel that we don’t have that much value before God. He tries to make us feel that God will not come through for us in times of difficulties but you must always remember that He chose you first and paid the ultimate price for you to be victorious in any situation you find yourself in. Therefore, take advantage of this truth and let it become your consciousness. Refuse to allow the devil to lie to you anymore. I know that you may be in some very difficult issues right now, you may have experienced some very horrible situations lately, but I want you to remember that He chose you first, and when He did this, He did it so that you can bear fruit and that your fruit should remain (John 15:16). Your victory is secured and your story is written already. Start running with the reality of this truth and let it gain pre-eminence in your life. Hallelujah!
