John 15:16 (King James Version)
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
You have been appointed, anointed, and approved by God. Many times when we except positions, start a business, get married, start having children- we can feel unqualified, even though we know what to do. The reason is the enemy likes to get us to doubt about what God has already promised we could have and do.
In this passage of scripture Jesus explained that He chooses us and if we allow Him, the choices in our life. He has the best method and strategy to accomplish every goal in life. But the key is knowing that you have been qualified by God- anointed, appointed, and approved.
Paul said this about his past. Paul said in I Corinthians 7 that He has wronged no man. Even though he killed men, women, and children and was apart of the first martyr for Christ. He went on the say I press toward the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. He realized it's not by His works that qualified him to preach the gospel, no it was God who called, anointed, appointed, and approved him.
Today, know that you have been anointed to do what you do, appointed not only by man, but by God, and that you have been approved not only by man, but by God. And He will see you through.
God Bless,
Pastor Mark
