TODAY’S MESSAGE EXCERPT TITLED “YOU ARE NOT AN ACCIDENT” WITH RICK WARREN

To the my friends worldwide, join in me in wishing a happy Independence to my friends in Nigeria and  Nigerians in diaspora. To my fellows in Nigeria, this is a topic you must read through  now at independence. Just go down and have  a change in life style and mindset.

Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you. But God did, he was not at all surprised by your birth. Infact, he planned it. Long before you were conceived by your parents, you were conceived in the mind of God. You are alive because God wanted to create you. Psalm 138: 8 says“ the lord will fulfill his purpose for you”. Glory to God!

God prescribed every single detail of your body. He deliberately chose your race, skin colour, hair and every other feature. He custom-made you’re your body just the way he wanted it. He also determined the natural talents you would possess and the uniqueness of your personality. Because God made you for a reason, he also decided when you would be born and how long you would live. He planned the days of your life in advance choosing the exact time of your birth and death. God also planned where you would be born and where you would live for his purpose. Your race and nationality are no accident. God left no detail to chance. He planned it all for his purpose. Acts 17:26 says “ from one man made every nation……. and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. Nothing in your life is arbitrary, it is all for a purpose.

Most amazing! God decided how you would be born. Regardless of the circumstances of your birth or who your parents are. God had a plan in creating you. It doesn’t matter whether your parents were good bad or indifferent, God knew that these two individuals possessed exactly the right genetic make up to create the custom “you” he had in mind. They had the DNA God wanted to make you. While there are illegitimate parents, there are illegitimate children. Many children are unplanned by their parents, but they are not unplanned by God. God’s purpose took into account human error and even sin.

God never does anything accidentally and he never makes mistakes. God’s motive for creating you was his love. The bible says “long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love. God made you for a reason and your life has profound meaning and purpose only when we make God the reference point of our lives. The message paraphrase of Romans 12:3 says “the only accurate way to understand ourselves is by what God is and what he does for us”.

Congratulations Nigerians, for your 50^th Independence anniversary. God has a purpose for your being a Nigerian, ask him and you fulfill that purpose.
