Even as [in His love] He chose us
[actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation
of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and
blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love. “I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it
in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).”
كما اختارنا
فيه قبل تأسيس العالم لنكون قديسين وبلا لوم قدامه في المحبة
انا فقد أتيت لتكون لهم حياة وليكون لهم افضل .
Ephesians 1:4, John10:10
Amplified Bible (AMP)
I understand the above scripture Ephesians 1:4to mean that we
believers who have accepted Jesus Christ as Saviour and declared Him as Lord over our lives;
were chosen by God before the
world was formed. We are called to a fullness of life which far exceeds the
dimensions of our earthly existence, because it consists in sharing the very
life of God.
Not only
has He chosen you, but He has equipped you with everything you need to live His
abundant life.
In order to be all that God has called you to be, you
have to see yourself as chosen, valuable, and victorious.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba
Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and love. Lord, I praise You and
glorify You. Lord, thank You that You have picked me as Your own in Christ even
before the foundation of the earth and that through Christ’s blood You consider
me blameless in Your sight. Help me Lord to understand my value as it stems
from You and to rise up higher and higher into the abundant life of victory and
joy You have prepared for me. Father, I pray that out of Your glorious riches
You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I
can see myself as chosen, valuable and victorious. Lord, show me Your ways
that I may be
holy (consecrated and set apart for You) and walk
with You in confidence and trust all the days of my life. In the name of my
Lord and Saviour Jesus The Christ, the only begotten Son of God, I pray. To
Him be the power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the dominion
forever and ever, Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
