The power to fulfill destiny

POWER TO FULFILL DESTINY.

Jere.1:4-5 Says : Then the word of the Lord camest unto me saying ,

Before I form thee in the belly , I knew thee ; and before thou comest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee , and ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. KJV

Another ingredient you need to fulfill destiny is Power .

Both Spiritual and Physical power are needed to make progress in life.

You need strength . There is little a sick person can do . You need to be healthy . In John.5:2-9 . A man was sick for thirty eight years , he was on one sport for so long , he could not make progress . It was after he encountered Jesus that he was made whole . He recieved strength to make progress.

The lame man in the book of Acts of the Apostles.3:1-10 Was sick for forty years of his life , he too was on one sport . He became beggar because of his situation . He lack physical strength to make progress .

You also need spiritual power, because there are bears and lions on your way to fulfilment in life. You need to overcome these forces before you can fulfill destiny.

David encountered bear and lion, but he was able to overcome them because he was empowered . 1Sam.17:34-35. And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep , and there came a lion , and a bear and took a lamb out of the flock : And I went out after him, and smote him , and delivered it out of his mouth :and when he arose against me , I caught him by his beard , and smote him and slew him. It was not ordinary to fight a bear and a lion. It was the power of the Holy Spirit on him that helped him.

There are evil forces that hinder destinies , you need power to overcome them .

The Bible in Eph. 6:12 says: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood , but against principalities , against powers, against rulers of darkness of this world , against spiritual wickedness in high places .

How to be empowered :

1. You must be connected to Jesus Christ , because all power belong to him . Matthew.28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them , saying , All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth .

Jesus is willing to share His power with you . Luke.10:19 Jesus said : Behold I give unto you power to tread on serpent and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy : and nothing shall by any means hurt you .

2. Live a holy life . Hebrews.1:9 says : Thou hast loved righteousness , and hated iniquity ; therefore God, even thy God hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

When you love what God loves and hate what He hates , He will anoint you to be above your enemies . You will be stronger than them.

3. You must be grounded and rooted in the word of God . The word is full of life and power . Hebrews. 4:12 Says : For the word of God is quick and powerful , sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joint and marrow, and is a discerner of the thought and intents of the heart .

4. Finally , you must be prayerful . A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian . 1Thess.5:17 says: Pray without season .

If you are powerless, enemies will toy with your destiny. Instead of the enemies to be running away from you, they will be oppressing you. But If you are always hot, in the place of prayer , enemies cannot come close to you , because if they do , they will be roasted . 2Kings.1:9-15 . The enemies that came to arrest Elijah were roasted because he was full of Power .

Shall we pray :

Father, empower me, so I will be stronger than my enemies, and help me to fulfill destiny in Jesus Name
