Destiny

 If you are one who doesn’t hold yourself in high regard and/or one who has been subjected to relationships with people who doubt your calling and judge your walk with God then you need to read the following: THERE IS A STRATEGIC DESTINY THAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO EACH OF HIS CHILDREN. Romans 8:15 speaks of how Father God has adopted us into a son-ship that makes us joint heirs with him, which makes us a part of his kingdom. You share in that kingdom destiny in your own unique way. Realizing your destiny is always closer than you think. That being said it’s easy to be distracted and wooed into a different direction, one that God doesn’t intend for you. In Philippians 3, we can see the attitude we need to keep us moving, growing, and pressing on to maturity in Christ. Philippians 3:14 says, “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” So get to pressing toward that high calling.

One of the greatest gifts we can receive right now that will ensure we reach our timely destiny is the gift of hunger. We must pray and ask the Lord to grant us passion: one that refuses to diminish and causes us to give up our fleshly desires; one that invades us even during the mid-night hour; one that is so great that it becomes who we are. Enough of the devil, his evil intentions and his dastardly deterrents. Enough with our godless ideas and dreams. We are joined with God and He has far better plans for us than what we can ever dream up for ourselves.

It’s so easy to be deceived and become disillusioned to chase after the temporary things of this world. I believe God is waiting for the one who will make a stand and throw away his desire and self will. I see the Lord watching for those who will move and forsake all sin. For all will soon see the destiny of the body of Christ: a body that is vital, thriving and anointed. The good news is that this destiny isn’t something that will happen one day; rather, a people filled with faith and willing to release this dynamic destiny over their lives can access it right now. God sees us as finished and polished. It’s time we start seeing ourselves like this too. But before new creativity can be poured out on the earth to us Christians, God waits for those willing to pay a price. Enough is enough with the excuses that we all use to not follow the call and destiny set before us. Sometimes we are our own greatest stumbling blocks. We must go for it, forgetting all we lack and taking the next step in faith. Remember: God is our shield and our great reward. I hear the Lord saying: “I will shake the world and my glory will invade and catch like fire. My people must be willing to ignite. Those who are with me will see the earth rip open and mercy will cover all who call upon my name.”

Your destiny is hanging just above your head like a plump grape waiting to be plucked. I encourage each and every one of you who read this article to become more rooted and grounded in love. And to know the voice of the Lord and become passionate and willing to press on to the next move that God is pouring out.

Praise the Lord.
