God Is Set To Use You For His Glory


MEDITATION

God Is Set To Use You For His Glory

2 Kings 7:3-9{BBE}

Point to ponder on: If God can use the lepers considered ceremonially unclean, He can use you too for His glory regardless of your past and present state.

How can you conclude that you are unworthy to be used by God? What worthiness humanly speaking made Jesus die for you on the cross? If you were to do something to get Jesus' attention morally, what good thing can come out of the sinful nature? See, stop trivialising the love of God on your worthiness. Christ died for you while..., get it right "while" you were yet a sinner. It was not after you have fixed your life or modified your behaviour or started doing good that got the attention of Jesus. So tell me what worthiness humanly speaking qualifies you to deserve Christ's death? This does not imply that we should encourage bad behaviour and expect fellow humans to love those bad behaviours while we keep telling them they should love us the way we are when we know that even we as individuals won't condone bad behaviour so why put it on others.

Sequel to the line of worthiness, God is the reason for our existence. He knew us right from our mother's womb and has a plan for every life even before we were conceived and His plan is to give us future and hope. However, He wants us to cooperate with him for us to fulfill destiny. Therefore, whatever God has in mind for you has nothing to do with human worthiness which is clothed in sinful nature, but rather in God's divine plan which is beautiful and surpasses human comprehension. Whatever limit you have set for yourself as a conclusion that God cannot use you is a lie from the pit of hell. If God could use the four lepers to fulfill the word of prophecy to rescue Samaria from recession He can use anybody for whatever He desires. Under the covenant of law lepers were considered as unclean and couldn't even enter the temple. But when the time came to put an end to the recession in Samaria, they were the first partaker of the abundance who alerted the city as the fulfillment of the prophecy from Elisha. Your usability has nothing to do with how humanly worthy you are but how worthy God's plan for your life is to Him. We are so worthy in His plan to dominate the earth. Sin came in between yet His worthy plan moved Him to rescue us from the barrier of sin and came in the flesh to die for the entire mankind. How worthy is His plan for all mankind! And now that He paid with His body and blood, you are so worthy to fulfill His plan for His glory, so He can use you if you will surrender to Him and stop going your own way. If He could raise stone to praise Him trust God He can use you for His glory. You are meant to walk on stones, yet He said He can make them to cry out in praise. What an awesome God! That tells me He can turn your life around for His glory. Believe right, think right and live right. He has counted you worthy and qualified you by grace. Stop feeling sorry for yourself but be grateful for His love and grace. God created you for His glory and He will use you for His glory. Just follow His lead.

Life is good only if you know how to live it.

Good morning. Enjoy His glory.

I celebrate you.

David, Johnson
