Title: Locating and Handling your God-Ordained Purpose/Destiny
Text: Genesis 12:1-3
A lot of us wonder why it is that we are born into this dispensation. We question our existence and why it is God created us. Sometimes our doubts can allow the enemy to make us turn the wrong way, though in our eyes it seems right. This can then lead us to enter into an alternate destiny thereby leading us to hell.
The race of life requires us to be vigilant and to be sensitive to things around us. The devil is always around tempting us with his offers, to have us away from our Destiny hence why we should put on our armour of God to shield ourselves.
Life will always be unfair, with turbulent periods, but God assures us that He will never leave us nor forsake us. This will require us not to shift our gaze away from Him.
When you are resilient in serving God, He supplys all your needs and you will experience successful progress that shows forth His glory all around you.
Many people wrongly define what success is. To some people, success is being the best of the best. The one on top, the greatest man. But man’s definition of success concludes with destruction. What they have built up and leaned on, suddenly comes crashing down. This sometimes leads to suicide. True success is what God calls success. Hebrews defines success as help already being on the way.
Material wealth is not a measure of success, it can crumble within a second. The real success is provided only by ‘GOD’, who holds the key to success.
You should be expectant from God, but making this a reality will require you setting your faith loose and: through this, the vision to your greatness can be made manifest.
God wants to bless us. God wants us to be a blessing.
