welcome to today's topic on weekly words for the moment and thank you for all your support and acceptance on the first edition.
Did you miss it? If so please click here to read it.
In line with today’s topic above, please let me show you something in the Bible. The lives of two young men, Joseph and Esau Gen25:23-34; 27:1-46; 28:1-22; 29;30;31;32. Please make reference to them.
Jacob stole his brother, Esau's destiny out of greed and envy which led to the delay, struggles and challenges that he faced in fulfilling his God's ordained purpose in the land of Haran. He had to struggle through fulfilling his destiny and purpose in life until God made him to understand that he had to fulfill the same destiny and purpose of his fathers Isaac and Abraham before God can fulfill the same covenant that He made with his forefathers. But before that revelation, Jacob was walking in the path of Esau's destiny.
This case is an example of what we are facing as human beings today, When you are running the race of another man, you will never arrive at your own destiny
Some of us have missed our destinies, some destinies have been delayed and some are being hindered because they are living in the purpose of another person’s life.
As human beings first of all, it is a natural trait in us to desire what we feel is good for ourselves but when we look deeper after so many challenges, trials and errors of pursuing such dreams, we will discover that according to God’s plans for us, that our dreams were not backed by God’s plans for our destiny and purpose as His children (Jeremiah 29:11).
Why we often times fall out of our God given destiny and purpose.
God is not a partial God and His plans for us are of good things but so many times we are blinded by running the rat race of life which makes us end up living in the shadow of another man’s purpose. The consequence is that it delays us from arriving at our God ordained destination, delays our success, life becomes difficult to live, we begin to experience near success syndrome (failure at the point of success).
Things that, hinder us from fulfilling our God's ordained destiny & purpose
Greed Gen27:29 it’s a natural tendency in us as human beings that our wants and needs are insatiable but we can only find contentment in God and by cultivating good values.
Lack of values: The Bible said… “Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents”. Gen25:27 this clearly shows that Jacob lacked the principle of hard work.
Bad parental guidance:(Gen27:8-17) bad advice and counseling from parents, favoritism among siblings by parents, such that instilling values in them becomes a chore.
Lack: Lack is another thing that can prevent us from seeing and fulfilling God’s destiny for our lives. Because the moment that you can no longer get ends meet and the supposed God’s destiny which you may be aware of is not the type that will quickly churn in money, you are bound to follow the fast route. (Ecclesiastes9:14-17)
Societal/Pressures: Pressures from friends, parents, family members, when you are being cheated from your rightful inheritance. These also force us to loose focus on our destinies and purpose in life (Gen31:7-8).
Ways to access, understand and fulfill God’s destiny and Purpose for your lives.
Through the word of God (John1:4; Psalm119:105)
Through Heavenly Vision (Gen28:10-15)
Unique giftings (Matt25:1-30, 1Corin12:4-8)
Through mentorship (1Sam1:28)
By continually asking God in prayers (1Sam1:12)
The Good news is that God is ever merciful, always willing to redirect our feet from the path which we have gone astray, rewrite our destinies and refocus us on the path of His purpose and destiny for us all only if we will allow Him.

This week shall we communicate with our loving father through these prayer points.
Thank you father for the grace to come to you and for the renewal of your mercy upon my life in Jesus Mighty name Amen (Ephesians1:7)
Dear Lord, I acknowledge that your plans for me are of good and not of evil therefore guide me into all truths through the Holy Spirit, reveal to me my destiny and purpose on earth in Jesus Mighty name I ask Amen.(Jeremiah29:11)
My father in Heaven, for every way that I have wronged you which have taken me away from the path of my destiny, I ask in Jesus name that you rewrite my destiny, give me a fresh start and change my story like Jacob and Jabez Amen. (Gen32:24-30; 1Chronicle4:9-10)
Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I declare that the challenges and struggles of life will not frustrate your grace upon me so I can fulfill my destiny and purpose on earth Amen. (Eph4:7; 2Thes1:12)
Thank you Heavenly father for answering my prayers, for so shall it be in Jesus Mighty name Amen. (Psalms2:8)

"When you are running the race of another man, you will never arrive at your own destiny." It's important to ask God what He would have us do with the gifts and abilities He has given us so that we are actually alive and fulfilled rather than miserable.

DeleteWow - this is making me think even deeper about some things. I know that God does have plans for us - sometimes I wonder if we fall victim to our own longings which aren't from God. In such times, we should always pray about decisions to make sure our hearts are right and centered on God.
