SUBJECT : HOW TO DISCOVER YOUR DESTINY!

Memory verse: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1 vs 5.)

READ: Psalm 139 vs 15 - 16:

139:15: My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

139:16: Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. 

INTIMATION:

Destiny simply means God’s plan and purpose for his children conceived long before we were born. God has a plan and purpose for creating each one of His children, and He has assignments laid out for us to accomplish here on planet earth. Our destiny is God's purpose for our lives. It is our God ordained future. It is what God has destined us to become in His divine will and wisdom. Each of us is also destined to play specific roles in the ordering of His world. This is why we are on the earth.

God knew you, as He knew Jeremiah, long before you were burn or even conceived. He thought about you and planned for you, and has a purpose in mind for you. God has a purpose for each Christian, but some people are appointed by God for specific kinds of work: Samson (Judges 13 vs 3 - 5), David (First Samuel 16 vs 12 - 13), John the Baptist (Luke 1 vs 13 - 17), and Paul (Galatians 1 vs 15 - 16) were also called to do particular jobs for God. 

Whatever work you do should be done for the glory of God (Philippians 1 vs 11). If God gives you a specific task, accept it cheerfully and do it with diligence. If God has not given you a specific call or assignment, then seek to fulfill the mission common to all believers—to love, obey, and serve God—until His guidance becomes more clear. 

The believer’s true life is embodied in our relationship, and fellowship with God, and His begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Although, people often base the reality of their lives on their self-conceptualized accomplishments, but our relationship with God and His Son Jesus Christ is far more important than our jobs, successes, wealth, or knowledge. Here lies the key to your destiny. 

We have been chosen by God Himself as His very own. The undeniable truth is that your value comes from being one of God’s children—sons and daughters of God, heirs of the kingdom, and joint heirs with His Son, Jesus Christ, who is the firstborn among many brethren (Romans 8 vs 29). 

A person’s life is like a large house, full of stories and experiences. There are various levels and rooms reserved for certain seasons of life, each one unique in style, complex in design and purpose. Within each house are many doors that open and close throughout the course of its existence. Some are easier to open than others. Some require a little prying. Some are best left closed forever. Others, however, require a key. The door to your destiny is one that requires a key—one that can seem very difficult to find. It cannot be created instantly or reproduced in any way. It cannot be bought with money, although it does come at a price. 

Many Christ-followers wander through their houses—their lives—never able to open the door to their destiny because they simply do not know their true identity in Christ; not being able to find the key to the door of their destiny. Although people ask themselves what their purpose in this world is, they rarely live out the answer. 

To find the key to the door of your destiny, and knowing your true identity in Christ requires first and foremost that you know Him—the Key Molder and Possessor personally. As cliché as it sounds, it is the truth! How can one really know himself or herself without first intimately knowing the One who created him in her? He created you for a purpose which only Him can determine. 

It’s a known fact that the manufacturer of any product has a purpose in mind, and only the manufacturer can give the facts of its purpose. Our journey to knowing ourselves begins with knowing God’s nature and character. He is the One who carefully molds the key of destiny and will reveal the key by Himself in your life as you pursue Him. As you grow in your knowledge of Him, three significant things begin to take place:

1. Knowing Him causes you to know what He says about you. If you truly desire to know what the Lord says about your destiny and identity, dive into His Word! 2. Knowing Him reveals your authority in Him; knowing the person He has divinely called you to be sets the precedence for understanding and operating in His authority. 3. Knowing Him gives you eternal perspective, especially when you wholeheartedly understand the fact that you will spend eternity with Him!

The wisdom and revelation of the knowledge of these three things will cause you to obtain the ever-desired key to the door of your destiny. I truly believe that in this time of history—in a season of worldly chaos and profound self-anonymity—the Lord is calling His Bride to know her true identity and to live out her purpose, effectively advancing the Kingdom of God here on earth as it is in heaven.

Prayer: Abba Father, impart me with the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You, the eyes of my understanding being enlightened; that I may know the hope of Your calling, and the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in me that believe, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!
