Chosen and Fruitfulනියැදිය

Scripture: John 15 : 16 (NIV)
“You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last.”

Devotional
Jesus reminds His disciples—and us—that being chosen isn’t about privilege; it’s about purpose. Before you ever volunteered to follow Him, He had already set His eyes on you and called you to a life of impact. His choosing carries both affection and assignment.

Many people chase significance by doing more or being seen more. But purpose doesn’t start with a platform; it starts with surrender. When you know that God has already chosen and appointed you, you stop striving for relevance and begin stewarding responsibility. Every believer is commissioned to carry God’s presence into their world, to love deeply, serve faithfully, and multiply His goodness wherever they go.

Being chosen means your life isn’t random or redundant. You are part of God’s ongoing story of redemption. He didn’t just choose you to survive; He chose you to serve. Your work, family, and friendships are not coincidences, they’re assignments. Wherever He places you becomes a field for fruitfulness.

The word appointed means to be strategically positioned. God has already equipped you with what you need to fulfill your calling. You may feel ordinary, but ordinary people with divine appointments always yield extraordinary fruit. Your job is simply to obey—to say yes even when the way forward seems uncertain.

Today, walk confidently knowing heaven has authorized you. You are chosen for purpose, appointed to bear fruit, and sent to represent His kingdom in power and love.
