Hi Chimezie!
I just wrote a newsletter to some friends this week and Ephesians 2:10 was the inspiration of it as well. I copied the paragraph below for you. Thanks for your encouragement and ministry through the emails. Blessings to you! Christy I currently have the statement hung in my room, “HAVE FAITH” with the attached quote, “I am not afraid . . . I WAS BORN TO DO THIS” from Joan of Arc. I find it both inspiring, and timely. I love the quote from the book of Esther where Esther was being asked to take a huge step of faith. Mordecai challenged her by pointing out something that may not have previously occurred to her. He declared that she had been strategically positioned, “for such a time as this.” I think we all need to live with that perspective. The fact that I am here is proof that God wants to glorify Himself in Detroit. Do you believe that for your city, your workplace, your family, etc? Eph. 2:10 declares, “For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” We cannot afford to view our lives as a series of happenstance occurrences. Our identity declares our value, our value determines our position and our position dictates our purpose. My expectation is increasing in response to my growing faith that impossible is possible. God can overturn cities and He can use ordinary people like me. I was born to do this.
