Have you ever thought about the fact that God chose you before you were born, to be His witness? He knew you and foreordained you to live for His glory. The Bible says, "For whom he did fore know, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son...." (Romans 8:29).

The Apostle Paul, understanding this, echoeched the same message in Galatians 1:15-16: "But when it pleased God, whose separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen....." Paul's passion and unrivalled commitment to the Gospel resulted from his knowledge and understanding that he was chosen and sent of God to turn the Gentiles from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God.

Recall his profound statement of commitment to the Gospel in 1Corinthians 9:16: "For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!" Become aware, convinced and challenged by the divine mandate and obligation to preach the Gospel.

As in our opening verse, the power of the Holy Spirit in your life is to make you an effective witness of Jesus Christ; a minister of reconciliation. You've been given the mandate to preach the Gospel to Every creature (Mark 16:15), and make disciples and pupils of the nation (Matthew 28:19). Make this your focus, and experience true fulfillment in your life.
