You are a divine project as a diaspora
Life will make so much meaning to us when we realise we are a divine project of God Almighty. It should always stick to your memory that everyone is born a diasporan being. We were all sent into this world to exercise full dominion through reflecting God’s glory. Life is notl about man’s glory; life is about God glory. God wants His glory to be revealed constantly and you are a divine project God looks forward to revealing and reflecting His glory.
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.” (first Peter chapter two verse nine. KJV)
We will be taking it bit by bit to draw all that is there in the verse of the bible. Let us put ‘I am’ where the bible says ‘Ye are’. I am a chosen generation. Say it again. I am a chosen generation. If the bible says you are a chosen generation, definitely you are a chosen. There is no controversy on the course whether you are chosen or not.
You are a chosen generation
“But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you.” (First Peter chapter two verse nine MSB)
Even as a diasporan the word of God according to the scripture above says but you are the ones chosen by God. I believe that makes a lot of meaning to you. You are the one chosen by God. It means you should stop asking who has been chosen! Who is to send? You are the one already designed for that assignment. You are the one that specific responsibility is waiting for. We are actually sent on earth to fulfil a specific responsibility of exercising full dominion and as well glorifying God’s name.
You are not chosen by God to occupy space as matter whose definition physics gave us about humanity. The word of God has chosen you for the high calling of the priestly work. How precious you are in God’s eyes. What will make God put such ultimate trust on you? It is obvious it was never your decision but God deemed it wise to choose you, grant you the opportunity to carry His presence and grant you the privilege to reflect His glory.
How precious you are in God’s eyes
One of the greatest tragedies in life is that we are not created uniquely, one of the greatest tragedy in life is when we fail to discover our uniqueness in God through Christ Jesus and live to reveal His glory. This is the situation of many people who have left the shores of their country for another land where they are not known. Right then, they abandon the One who has chosen them. You can’t abandon God and think to live a successful and fulfilled life.
Let no one deceive you, you can’t find genuine success and fulfilment elsewhere. It is in God that you are fulfilled. He created us in His image and likeness to be like Him and function like Him. You can’t be out of alignment and still believe to act and function right. That is the deception that is in the heart of many and has made them believe they don’t need for any genuine success and prosperity.
“The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.” (Proverbs chapter ten verses twenty-two KJV)
We get to be careful on what we call blessing. In other words, the gift of the devil, it maketh rich, and he addeth sorrow to it. You can’t be chosen by God Almighty and all you live your life doing is to exalt the devil. That is a misnomer.
Conclusion
Life is all about glorifying God in our spirit, soul and body. That is the whole duty of man, to fear the Lord God with everything that is within him.
