0:34 record holder, aerospace engineer, life coach, evangelist, and founder of John

0:39 Gifta International. Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. A lot

0:53 of times we go through life with this intention of trying to figure things out,

0:58 thinking that we're the ones making through life. We're the ones who have

1:02 to, you know, make our life happen, you know, make things

1:04 happen in life. See, I'm not saying be complacent and lazy. I'm

1:07 not saying just sit on the sidelines doing nothing. I'm not saying just sleep

1:12 and you know everything is just going to happen. No, I'm not saying

1:17 that that's not what I'm signing up for. But what I want you to

1:21 understand is you're not the one running your life. You know, you do

1:23 what you're supposed to do. You do what you're called to do. You

1:26 do you know, the things that it's meant for you to do. You

1:30 know, like if you're doing a job, you need to do it with

1:34 all sincerity. You know, you need to be a person of integrity.

1:37 You need to go the extra mile, have the spirit of excellence. If

1:41 you're studying, you need to, you know, put in your best foot

1:44 forward. You know, you can't just not study, but just expect to,

1:49 you know, come out with flying colors. You know, the script

1:51 is very clear that you know, the horse is prepared for battle, but

1:55 the battle belongs for the belongs to the Lord. The victory comes from the

1:57 Lord. In other words, what I wanted to understand is you need to

2:00 take your initiative of preparing the horses. But what I want you also to

2:06 understand is that you know, a lot of people think that it's upon themselves

2:09 to you know, bring success through life through make it through life, and

2:14 that's why they get burnouts and they're not able to go further. They're feeling

2:19 very stuck. Nothing is working out. And maybe you may be in a

2:23 place in your life right right now, you're saying, I don't know how

2:28 whether I'll ever get a job, or how I will ever make it through

2:30 life? How will I pay my bills? How will I settle in life?

2:32 How will I meet the right people or you know, the right person

2:37 or you know in any area of your life that you're praying. You know,

2:39 maybe you have a call for a business and you're saying, how will

2:43 I get any clients? You know everybody's rejecting me, or how will this

2:46 have a workout? You know, I don't have the expertise, I don't

2:50 have the training, the connections. But I want to share a scripture with

2:53 you, and I want to take this forward. And it is found in

2:55 Ephesians chapter two, verse ten. Okay, this is what the Bible is

3:00 saying in efficients towards ten, and I'm going to be reading from different translations

3:04 to help you understand something. When you look at the NLT version, it

3:07 says, for we are God's masterpiece. I think that's something that we all

3:12 know, this part of the scripture. But it goes on to say He

3:15 has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good

3:19 things He planned for us long ago, okay, which you have to remember

3:25 that He created us to do the good things that He has already planned for

3:30 us long ago. When you look at the English Standard version, it says

3:34 for we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared

3:40 beforehand, that we should walk in them. Right. I want you to

3:45 imagine like this, you know that you're walking through a tunnel or or something.

3:47 Okay, it's already said you can't go to the left or to the

3:52 right, and so it's already something that you're walking in. It's already prepared

3:55 for you. You are already prepared to walk in the purpose that you are

4:00 walking in the plan of God over your life. See when you deliberately run

4:03 from God, and you know, deliberately make a mistake or deliberately go off

4:09 track, that's another thing, you know, but there's always God's mercy that

4:13 enables you to get back on track. But the thing is this important truth,

4:16 guys, when you have the heart to do what is God's called over

4:20 your life, to do what is right to fulfill His purpose of your life,

4:25 I want you to understand that He has promised in his word that you

4:28 know what. You're not one trying to figure out your life, but you're

4:31 already walking out the plan that He has for you. You know that takes

4:36 off the pressure, That takes off the you know, the anxiety, the

4:41 worry. You know what if I don't meet the right person, No you

4:44 will because you know you're walking in that and God says, you know what,

4:46 no good thing will have with all them that walk up rightly, you

4:48 keep walking at the right time. God will open the right doors. God

4:53 will open the right opportunities. God will bring the right people across your part.

4:56 You are not the one trying to figure things out. You do what

5:00 you're supposed to do. At his appointed time. He will make things happen

5:02 that only he can do. That's the place I want you to go to,

5:06 Go to that place of trust, the place of hope and reliance,

5:10 because nothing in life happens by chance or coincidence. Your life is in the

5:15 hands of hormity God. You know I read this somewhere or I came across

5:18 this somewhere that you know in the Hebrew word, you know the Hebrew language,

5:24 there is no word called coincidence. You know, it's interesting because nothing

5:29 in life is coincidence. Even if you feel something as coincidence, it is

5:32 directly ordained by God. And that's the place I want you to go to.

5:38 But you trust in the goodness of God and say, God, I

5:41 trust that you have a plan for me, and I'm walking out that plan.

5:45 I'm walking out in that purpose, and I believe, decree and declare

5:47 as to keep doing what you're supposed to do. At the right appointed time.

5:50 God will open doors no man can shut. He will shut the wrong

5:54 doors. He will read out the wrong people. You'll bring in the right

5:57 people, and you will stip into the fullness of your God given destiny.
