*RESTORATION TODAY*
*THURSDAY, JULY 23, 2020.*
*TOPIC: GOD KNOWS YOU*
"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5
*MESSAGE*
In our verse today, there are three things that God says about Jeremiah which is also true about us. Let us look at each of them.
*1) God knew you.* The word ‘knew’ means *‘to have intimate knowledge of’.* Long before your mother began to feel you moving inside her womb, God knew all about you. *(see Psalm 139:16).* God knew what you were born to be, and provided everything you would need to fulfil your purpose.
*2) God sanctified you.* This means that God set you apart. *Psalm 4:3 says: “But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.”* God has a purpose for you, but that’s not the only reason He has set you apart. God has set you apart because He loves you and wants a personal relationship with you. He wants to be able to talk to you about all your thoughts, fears, hopes and dreams.
*3) God ordained you.* Men may ordain, but only God can foreordain. Stop worrying about who does or doesn’t recognise your gifts. Each of us has been uniquely made by God the Creator. We have been set ordained to be our own selves and not copies of other people. What God said to Jeremiah, He is saying to you, too: *“Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.” (Jeremiah 1:7-8).*
*ACTION POINT*

*SCRIPTURES*
