Fulfilling Your Destiny In God (Part 1)

There is a destiny in God and there is a destiny in the world, you will hear people say, what will be, will be. This is ignorance, whatever happens to you in life will be a result of what you determined, you have a lot more to do with your future than you realize. You have a lot to do with where you are at present in your life journey than you may know. If we do not have a responsibility of fulfilling our destiny or ministry, Apostle Paul would not have charged Archippus to take heed to the ministry which he received of the Lord and ensure that he fulfils it. (Col. 4:17). It means that it is possible not to fulfill one's destiny in life. There is a destiny for every one of us in God, your life has been predetermined by God, and it has been pre-arranged according to Ephesians 2:10, it means that God actually has a plan for your life, He said the same thing in Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."

However it is possible for you not to fulfill that plan that God has made for you. It is very possible not to fulfill one's destiny in God, the Bible says so. When certain things happen in a person's life, you hear people say, God has done what is well pleasing to him!, this also is not correct, God made man a rational being, a free moral agent with his own will power and the ability to make decisions for himself. He told the Israelites in Deuteronomy 30:19;

"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:"

In as much as He lets them know that they have a choice to make, He lets them know exactly which one to choose, and He told them to choose life, and yet many choose death.

This week choose life and fulfill your destiny.

You're blessed!
