CHOSEN BY HIS WILL

February 08, 2016 · Lanre Oyeleke · 3 views

Colossians1:1 This letter is from Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy. NLT

The authenticity of Paul's Apostolic ministry was debated in his time. Some people did not accept him as a true apostle because he wasn't amongst the twelve disciples that was why in most of his letters, he would introduce himself as an apostle. He was chosen by God's will not the will of man.

One vital subject that is hardly taught today is 'the will of God'. Believers of old dwell more on this subject but mostly in the aspect of marriage. The only time you get to hear preachers talk about the will of God is during marriage seminar. The will of God cuts across all areas of our lives.

There is a need for us all to know the exact will of God for every aspect of our lives. You don't enter ministry or marriage because you see others doing it but rather, you find God's will for your life and follow it. Are you chosen by God's will to do what you're doing? Have you found God's will for your marriage and career.

As you walk with God daily, seek to know his perfect will for your life and follow it passionately.

Action point

Father, I receive grace to find nd follow your will In Jesus Name. Amen
