Who am I in Christ? (part 1)

God has a plan for all of his children. His plan for us is to walk in divine health. God knew us before we were born. All of God’s children have a planned destiny that God designed before the earth was formed. Each one of us was designed to fulfill that plan.

“I choose you Jeremiah to be a Prophet before I gave life to you and before you were born. I choose you Jeremiah to be a Prophet to the Nations,” Jeremiah 1:4, Good News Bible. God says to all His Children, which includes you and I: “For I know the Plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future,” Jeremiah 29:11.

Do you know God’s plan for your life? He desires you to prosper and gives you hope for your future. His desire is for you to prosper in your health, prosper financially, prosper in your relationships and in all areas of your life. He did not design you to be sick, busted and disgusted. If you do not know what you were designed for, just ask God to reveal His plan for you so that you can fulfill it. If you seek and ask, you will find what you desire (Matthew 7:7). You can accomplish whatever you may want for yourself. Healing for your body is included in the plan. You can do all things through Christ Jesus, who gives you the strength. “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things will be added unto you,” Matthew 6:53.

The Bible is saying to seek God first. Whatever God reveals to you, you can accomplish it through His strength (1 Chronicles 16:11). “Seek the Lord and His strength, seek His presence continually. When you ask God for anything you must believe and not doubt. If you doubt you will not receive anything from the Lord,” James 1:5-8.
