Your Faithfulness Is Going To Have A Profound Impact On Generations
Everyone wants to be chosen, but no-one is willing to pay the price.
You may not realize it yet, but something extraordinary is waiting for you. In this message, I urge you to stay quiet, stay focused and open your heart to what is coming your way. You are receiving a message tailored specifically for the chosen ones, those who are set apart for something greater.
If you don't feel that fire burning within this message might not be for you. Feel free to turn it off now, because the words spoken here might not resonate with your soul or spirit. However, if you are truly a chosen one, you will know exactly what I am about to share. You will feel it deep within your bones, because this message is not for the faint hearted. It is for those who are prepared to face the truth with courage and conviction.
Beloved, there is a profound truth that we, the real chosen ones, must face.
The calling of God comes with a cost.
This cost isn't something you can measure with worldly currency. No, this cost is paid in spiritual battles, moments of loneliness and sacrifices that stretch us far beyond our comfort zones. But here's the good news; for every cost, there is a reward so unimaginable that those who endure will stand in awe when they finally receive it.
To be a real chosen is not just a title, it's a divine appointment, a mark on your soul that distinguishes you for a purpose so unique and grand that it's worth every price you pay. So take heart, the price we pay in this life is nothing compared to the eternal reward that awaits.
Let's talk about sacrifice, one of the most profound costs of being chosen.
Let's be real, friends. Being chosen by God often means being set apart, and this can feel like isolation, even abandonment. It means walking a path that many around you will never understand.
Take a moment to think about Abraham. Imagine being called to leave everything you've ever known, your homeland, your family, your culture, all to go to a place that God would show you, a place you've never seen. Can you fathom the fear of the unknown that gripped him, yet he obeyed, sacrificing the comfort of the familiar for a journey with God into the great unknown. He was called to leave behind EVERYTHING he held dear, his family, his culture, his way of life, simply to follow God's voice into an uncertain future.
Some of you listening right now know exactly what I'm talking about. You've let go of relationships, careers, lifestyles that once brought you comfort, because you knew deep down that God was calling you higher. Yet, with every sacrifice comes a sense of loss. It's not easy to explain to others why you made the choices you did, and sometimes it feels like you're wandering alone in a vast empty desert, much like Abraham. But remember this, God honors every sacrifice made in faith. He sees your tears, He knows your struggles, and He feels the weight of the cost you are bearing.
You are not forsaken, and you are certainly not forgotten.
God's word is clear. He is faithful to those who are faithful to Him, as it says in Hebrews 6:10, for God is not unjust to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name. Every sacrifice you've made is not in vain. God is using them to mold you, to prepare you for a greater purpose, a higher calling.
You see, sacrifice is not about loss. It's about gaining something far more significant. When Abraham left everything he gained the promise of God, and just as Abraham became the father of nations because of his obedience, there is a promise waiting for you that far outweighs the sacrifices you are making.
Now, being chosen means standing on the front lines of spiritual warfare. Let's be honest, the enemy knows you are marked by God for a purpose, and because of this, he will do everything in his power to derail you.
Consider Joseph, chosen by God to lead a nation. His journey was filled with betrayal, false accusations and imprisonment. It seemed like everything in his life was going against him. When God chooses you, he places a target on your back, not to harm you, but to prepare you for the battles ahead. Spiritual Warfare is not a sign of God's absence. It's proof that you are on the right path. The enemy does not fight those who pose no threat to his plans. Remember the words in Ephesians 6:12, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Joseph faced betrayal from his own brothers, was falsely accused by Potiphar’s wife and was thrown into prison for a crime he did not commit. Yet, despite all of these trials, Joseph never lost his faith in God. He understood that the spiritual battles he faced were part of the process of being chosen.
Maybe you feel like Joseph right now. Perhaps you think the battles you are facing are too overwhelming, too unfair, but hear me today, the battles you face are not the end of your story. They are simply preparation for the elevation that is coming.
Every trial, every hardship, every spiritual attack is preparing you for the moment when God will lift you up. Joseph's story didn't end in prison. It ended in the palace, and so will yours. The enemy may try to knock you down, but God is faithful to see you through.
The trials are refining you, shaping your character, and preparing you for the blessings he has in store. This is why it is crucial to remain steadfast in your faith when the battles come. Remember you are not fighting alone. God is fighting for you as Exodus 14:14 says “The Lord will fight for you. You need only to be still.”
One of the greatest costs of being chosen is the loneliness that often comes with it.
Elijah, a powerful prophet of God, experienced this loneliness deeply. After a great victory against the prophets of Baal, he found himself fleeing for his life, feeling utterly alone. He cried out to God, feeling like he was the only one left who was faithful. Have you ever felt like Elijah after those spiritual highs? There's often a sudden plunge into deep isolation. You wonder if anyone else understands the weight of your calling or the depths of the sacrifices you've made.
The loneliness can be overwhelming. In those moments the enemy whispers, lies, making you feel forgotten, abandoned and unseen. But just as God came to Elijah in his moment of despair, he comes to you now.
God is not distant. He is near to the brokenhearted. As Psalm 34:18 promises. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Your loneliness is not a punishment. It is part of the process. God often removes us from the noise of the world to speak to us more clearly. He isolates us so that we can learn to depend on Him and Him alone.
During these seasons of loneliness, God is drawing closer to you, refining your faith and teaching you to trust in His provision. You are never truly alone. God is with you, and his angels surround you even now. Just as he sent an angel to minister to Elijah, he will send his divine comfort to you.
Don't let the enemy convince you that you are forgotten. God sees you, hears your cries and is working behind the scenes on your behalf.
Here's another truth, being chosen often involves suffering.
Now I know suffering is not something we enjoy discussing, but it is an undeniable part of the Christian walk. When God chooses you, he allows you to go through the refining fire, not to harm you, but to purify and prepare you. The refining process removes the impurities of pride, self sufficiency and doubt, leaving behind a faith that is strong and unshakable.
Consider the story of Job, a man chosen by God to endure incredible suffering. Job lost everything, his wealth, his family, his health, yet he remained faithful to God. In the end, God restored everything to Job and gave him even more than he had before. The refining fire that Job endured was not a punishment, but a preparation for the greater blessings that God had in store for him.
When you are chosen, you may find yourself walking through seasons of suffering. These seasons are painful, but they are also purposeful. As Romans five 3-4 reminds us, we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character and character, hope.
God is using your suffering to create something beautiful within you. Perseverance, character and hope.
You may not see it now, but every tear you've cried, every pain you've endured, is bringing you closer to the person God has called you to be.
You are being refined, and when you come out on the other side, you will be stronger, wiser and more equipped for the purpose he has set before you.
Beloved, the reward for those who endure is far greater than we can imagine. Jesus Himself told us in Matthew 19:29, “And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake, will receive 100 times as much and will inherit eternal life.”
The reward of the chosen is not just in the life to come, but in this life as well. God is faithful to those who are faithful to Him. Just as Joseph was elevated from the prison to the palace, just as Abraham became the father of nations, and just as Elijah was renewed and continued his prophetic ministry, so too will you see the reward of your perseverance.
God is not a man that he should lie, numbers 23:19. Every promise He has spoken over your life will come to pass if you remain faithful. The cost is great, but the reward is greater still.
Think about it, for Joseph, the reward of being chosen by God was not just his personal restoration, but the preservation of his family and an entire nation.
His faithfulness had a profound impact on future generations.
His obedience through trials, not only elevated him to a position of influence, but also fulfilled God's divine plan for His people.
In the same way, the reward that awaits you is not just for your benefit, but for the impact it will have on others. When you answer God's call and walk the path of the chosen, your life becomes a testimony that will echo through generations.
Think of the legacy left by those who answered God's call in Scripture; Abraham, Joseph, Esther, David and so many others. Their obedience didn't just affect their own lives. It shaped the course of history for God's people.
When you walk in obedience to God's calling, your life becomes a living testament to his faithfulness. Your perseverance through trials, your faith in the face of adversity, and your unwavering commitment to God will inspire others to pursue their own divine calling.
Your legacy will be one of faith, courage and obedience, as Hebrews 12:1 reminds us, “We are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, those who have gone before us in the faith, cheering us on as we run our race, encouraging us to press on toward the prize.”
I'm speaking to you, Chosen One. Yes, the cost is high, the sacrifices are real, and the battles are fierce, but the reward, oh, the reward is beyond anything you could ever imagine.
God sees every tear, every sacrifice, every step of faith you've taken, and he is faithful to reward those who diligently seek Him.
Today, I challenge you to embrace the cost knowing that the reward is already secured in heaven for you. Keep fighting, keep believing, keep pressing forward. God has not forgotten you, and your reward is closer than you think.
Remember the words of Jesus. “In this world, you will have trouble, but take heart, I have overcome the world”, John 16:33.
He has already overcome the battles you face, and His victory is your victory. Walk in that truth, knowing that the reward of the chosen is both for this life and the life to come.
Embrace the cost, embrace the sacrifices, the battles, the loneliness and the refining fire. Know that God is with you every step of the way, and He is faithful to bring you through to the other side.
Your reward is coming, believe it receive it and walk in it.
God is with you and His promises will not fail.
