Psalms 78:70 declares, “He chose David, his servant, and took him from the sheep pens.”
Remember when God chose David, he experienced myriad battles from his parents, Saul, and even his son Absalom. Why? When the hand of the Lord comes upon, get ready for oppositions. You don’t choose yourself; it’s Yahweh who does. So, no need to say, I don’t want to be chosen. The only wise God does the election and calling from the corridor of eternity. He has chosen you to operate in ministry, oil industry, medical world, legal world, and wherever you may find yourself.
Everyone that Jehovah chooses attracts attention from the opposition of God. That’s why it’s only ripe mangoes that attract stones. I bring you answers to some of your questions by the grace of God.
God is the one who chose Joseph, Daniel as a politician, Abraham as a herdsman, and Bezalel as a craftsman, among others.
The first sign that shows God has chosen you is that Satan himself will be so much interested in you in a negative way. You will have painful attacks on your body, in your finances, marriage, business, etc… When you see this sign when you know your hands are clean. I mean, when you know you are not responsible for this battle, thank God for you are not an ordinary person at all. Anytime there’s a prophecy upon your life, Satan will contend it, but remember God said, ” I will contend with him that contends with you and save your children.” God will fight for you and save you and your entire household. Believe it.
Hear this, there are stars on some people that signify greatness that Satan sees but may not know exactly what that greatness stands for unless we open our mouths and reveal our identity if we know. The wise men saw many stars, but among them was one that stood out, which was Jesus’s. Remember, these Wisemen were magicians. Besides, you and even your parents may not personally know about the star on you or its significance. The attacks on you are not really about you because it’s bigger than that picture. Soon, you will understand if you don’t give up. It’s actually about God’s program and your contribution to it. In that teaching field, you have a contribution to make. Ignore those papers you have to rewrite and how you struggle to pay your fees and how you sometimes miss class because you were sacked.
You will have a testimony if you maintain your position in the Lord. What you are going through is not new; it has happened before, and people came out victorious, so you too will emerge same. Do you know of any top-notch teachers or lecturers who have made or are making the Lord proud? Go to the net and find out. Time and space would not allow me to mention their names here. Read about their biographies, and you will be blessed.
The attacks from the enemy on your life are actually a sign that you have been chosen and marked by God to accomplish a particular purpose on earth. Glory be to God!
