Jere. 1:4-5 says : Then the word of the Lord came unto me saying ,
Before I from thee in the belly , I knew thee , and before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee , and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations .
Your destiny is in the hands of two people , God and you .
God is willing and able to make sure you fulfill your destiny because all power belong to Him . With Him all things are possible. Luke. 1:37
However, the problem is always with us .
The level of your cooperation with God in obedience to his words and instructions will determine how far you will go in fulfilling your destiny .
2kings. 13:14-19 Says : Now Elisha was falling sick of the sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him , and went over his face , and said , O my father , my father , the chariot of Israel , and the horsemen thereof .
And Elisha said unto him,
Take bow and arrows , And he took unto him bow and arrow .
And he said unto the king of Israel , Put thine hand upon the bow , And he put his hand upon it , and Elisha put his hands upon the King's hands .
And Elisha said , Open the window eastward And he opened it . Then Elisha said , shoot and he shot . And he said . The arrow of the Lord's deliverance , the arrows of deliverance from Syria : for thou shall smite the Syria in Apek till thou have consumed them .
And he said . Take the arrows . And he took them And he said unto the king of Israel , smite upon the ground , and he smote thrice , and stayed .
And the man of God was wroth with him and said. Thou shouldst have smitten five or six times , then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it ,whereas now thou shall smite Syria thrice .
The level of obedient of this king determined his level of victory . He smote only three times and stopped he only had three victory and he lost the rest , if he had smitten five or six times , he would have had total and complete victory .
What were you doing before that you have stop doing? It may limit your destiny .
You need to wake up to doing them again ,
check your level of obedient to the word of God in the following areas :
Obedient in soul wining ,
Obedient in tithing
Obedient in living a holy life
Obedient in giving . etc,
Your level of obedience to all these will determine how far you go in fulfilling your destiny and it will also determined the level of your eternal reward on the last day.
In 2kings.5:1-14 . Naaman was told to deep himself into rivers Jordan seven times. If he had stop half way , he would have died a leper .
In First kings.17:8-16 . If the widow of Zarephath had refused to obeyed the man of God, when he told her to Share from Her Last Meal , She would have died during the famine. But thank God, she obeyed, even when it was not convinent , then she lived in abundance until the famine was overed.
If you must reach your goal in life , your obedience to God and His word is very, very paramount .
Prayer points :
Father , help me to obey you completely, so I can fulfill my destiny fully. .
Whether we like it or not we will later be obedience
