Reaching Your Destiny

Are you where you want to be?  Are you any closer to the dream God gave you?  Well, what’s the problem?  We all know the definition of insanity—expecting things to change when we keep doing the same thing!  Think of a remote control car running into an obstacle, it just keeps trying and trying to go the same way, until you change the direction of the car or remove the obstacle.  Are we  like the car, running into obstacles and just spinning our wheels, not willing to change our direction? 

There are three reasons why we don’t change, fear, laziness  and lack of knowledge.  It is time to identify which one of these is holding us back and push through to your destiny.   Fear of what the future may hold can keep us from moving forward    Laziness is another obstacle. Let’s face it, change and forward motion takes effort.  Sitting still takes no effort at all and it tends to add more baggage to our frame!  The third reason we may not change is lack of knowledge.  If we don’t know how to change, how can we? We may only have to make a tiny adjustment, but we must if we want change.  The Word of God can combat all these obstacles. 

Let’s look at ways from the Word to get back on course and fulfill our destiny. 

First is prayer.  Matthew 7:7-8 AMP, “Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you. For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened.” 

Second is to have faith, believe.  Mark 9:23, “And Jesus said, [You say to Me], If You can do anything? [Why,] all things can be (are possible) to him who believes!”  Remember the account of Joshua and Caleb.  They believed that with God on their side, they could take the promised land giants or no giants.  They believed and received a reward. All those who didn’t believe were left behind. 

Third, meditate and practice. Philippians 4:8-9 NLT “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.” Meditate—think on your goal, practice the things you’ve learned. 

Fourth, keep speaking what you want to see happen.  2 Corinthians 4:13 “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak.” 

Fifth, just receive.  Settle it.  2 Peter 1:3 “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue”  God has already given us all things that pertain to life.  All we need is available to us.  Just receive it.  Jesus has made you worthy to receive.  He paid the price for whatever you need to finish your destiny. 

You now have five keys to help you reach your destination.  If you work these five keys, you will reach your destiny.  However, there may be time between the answer and the manifestation of what you’re waiting for to come to pass.  Keep tuning into God.  Keep your ‘channel’ open.  Don’t let static (sin, worry) keep you from hearing God.  Do you want things to change?  Do something different.  Increase your prayer, have faith, meditate and practice the Word, confess and receive the promise.  It is time to fulfill God’s plan for you.  His will is not about us, but about His Kingdom on earth.

 He is who He says He is and will do what he says He will do!
