God has made you for this time! He has prepared great stuff for you to experience and to do. He is, right now, preparing you for what He has prepared for you. That means He is making sure that you will be prepared when opportunity comes. If you flow with the process you can seize the destiny that He has designed for you. Preparation will always precede manifestation.
Ephesians 2:10 NASB For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
Let’s get this straight – you are going to walk in the things that God has prepared for you! All the stuff you’ve been going through, He is going to use all that to help you to help others. You are His workmanship! You were created for good works. God has even prepared the works before us so that we would have the joy of walking in them. In this case obedience is victory. When you obey – you win!
Acts 10:38 NASB “You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
I love this verse! We usually think about Jesus’ healing people and casting out demons – all the supernatural stuff. Yet, this verse says He went about doing good. He was “anointed” and the result was he went around doing good. Maybe you don’t feel quite ready to be casting out demons, but you can do good, right? You can! You have been prepared. He is the prototype for you to follow.
One day Jesus had an appointment with a woman in Sumeria at a well. She had gone there to draw water from the well and Jesus talked to her about water that she could have and never thirst again. There is someone waiting for you to act in obedience to the call God has placed on their lives. He is waiting for you to step into the works He has prepared you for.
Someone is waiting on the other side of your obedience. You can obey the Lord. You can do what He has put in your heart to do. It starts with simply doing good to others. Ask God to direct you to people who will receive from you. Then, follow the impulses that God puts in your heart. He has been preparing you for works of service. It is time to step out and experience the good stuff He has prepared for you!
