Good Morning Sunshine! You Have Been Delivered To Be Developed For Your Destiny And His Glory!

2 Corinthians 5:17 ~ “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”

Have you ever prayed that you could have a new life? Sometimes the thought of just waking up to a brand-new morning, with no problems no obstacles, sounds so good, you just want a new day full of nothing but God’s promises, this sounds so good, doesn’t it! Here are three things I want to say about this, if you think that you are not going to have any problems you are wrong. If you have grown up in church all of your life and not in Jesus Christ and just knowing about the promises and receiving the promises are on a different spectrum all together, and if you have problems and you haven’t accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, that’s an even greater problem! Choose today who you will serve, Joshua 24:15!

You see in this life you will have trials and tribulations, the Word of God said it, John 16:33. So you need Jesus Christ to help you walk through this, you cannot do it alone. When you accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savor, your salvation becomes sealed and secured, Romans 10:9-11! In that moment a miracle takes place in your life that establishes your life changing! In that instant, Jesus Christ rescued you from the bondage of sin and brought you into a new life with Him. But this is not where it ends, this is just the beginning of your deliverance! Deliverance is only the beginning; development must follow!

There it is, you said yes, you got baptized and that’s it, you thought everything would automatically fall into place! You thought your life would change immediately, no more doing or thinking the wrong things, that’s not how it works, now you have to let Word of God do the work of changing you. It’s like someone saying they want to run track, saying it is only half the battle, you actually have to train, be disciplined and then run, you don’t run first and then become disciplined and trained! You accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, now you need to be developed in the Word!

Consider the Israelites journey to exodus from Egypt; God delivered them with mighty signs and wonders, yet they didn’t walk straight into the Promised Land. Instead, they embarked on a wilderness journey where their faith was tested, their hearts were purified, and their dependency on God was established. They were delivered from Egypt, but it took time to develop their trust and obedience to God. It is going to take you some time to be developed in the Word of God, because you have been living according to the world standards and there is a difference. You want to be developed in the Word of God, then this requires daily communication and interactions with Him! You have to move away from the world thinking to thanking God for His Word!

It takes time for you to develop trust in God, because this kind of trust is supernatural, for it is a production of God’s indwelling Spirit being activated on the inside of you. So, when you have God and things seem like they are going all wrong in your life, put your trust in Him anyway, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5, for you are being developed in Him and He is not concerned with the right circumstances, but He’s concerned about your right response to Him when He comes your way, and no matter what comes your way, He got it, and He’s got you too!

Think about this when you were delivered from sin, you were saved by grace. God desires to clean you up, mold you, teach you, and shape you into the likeness of Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul tells us, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). This renewal is an ongoing process that involves surrender, obedience, and a hunger for God’s Word daily, you can never get enough of the Word, the more you read it, the more you will desire it, the more you desire it to more of it you will have!

Your development will happen in your seasons of waiting or testing. It’s during these moments that God refines your character, deepens your faith, and teaches you to rely fully on Him. Philippians 1:6 reminds us of this truth: “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” If you’ve been delivered, rejoice, because you are on your way to being developed for your destiny! God is using His Word, to grow you and develop you into His likeness! You Are being delivered to developed in God! Let’s read today’s scripture again, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”

That’s says it all! When you choose Jesus Christ, you get a new life because of what He did, He Died and Rose again, and because you made that  your choice, His Spirit lives on the inside of you now, and you are a new creation, delivered, developed, devoted and destined to be a disciple of Jesus Christ! Now all of your tomorrows are full of hope and promises, and His most sacred promise is to dwell within you because you have declared Him as your Lord and Savior, delivered and developed for your destiny and for His Glory!

Let’s Pray:
Jesus, I thank You for making me a new creation in You. Your life is now mine life, help me live my life knowing Your promises, and that my old ways are no more. Father, Thank You for delivering me from the chains of sin and giving me a new life in Jesus Christ. Father, help me to submit to Your process of development, trusting that You are shaping me for Your Glory. Teach me to follow You daily, to embrace the work of the Holy Spirit, and to study the Word of God daily as I am being developed into the person You’ve called me to be. Give me patience in the process, endurance in trials, and a heart that remains faithful to Your Will. Strengthen my faith when I feel weak, renew my hope when I grow weary, and fill me with Your peace when I feel overwhelmed. Father, surround me with godly counsel and community to encourage and guide me as I am being developed in You. Father, let my life reflect Your love and truth, not for my own sake but for Your Glory. Father, develop in me the fruits of the Spirit so that I can bring light to others and glorify Your name in all I do. Thank You for Your unending faithfulness, Your constant Presence, and the assurance that You will complete the work You’ve started in me and that You are the LORD of my life, and You are more powerful than my past, present, or future self could ever be! In Jesus Name. Amen!

Blessings…
