(Watch the Preview Video) Do you know that you have a God-given destiny? You are not an accident. God ordained before the foundation of the world that you would be here at this particular time. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “These are the plans I have for you, says the Lord, Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.” All through Scripture, you can read how God had a specific plan and purpose for each person’s life. He told Elizabeth that she would give birth to John and that he would pave the way for Christ. He told Samson’s mother that she was going to have a baby and gave her a specific plan for his life. In the same way, God began thinking about you long ago. He was planning out good things for your life, where you would be, what assignment you would have and the opportunities to bring across your path. As you continue to put your faith and hope in the Lord, there is nothing that can keep you from becoming all that God created you to be. You have a bright future ahead. Less
