Your divine destiny

Ephesians 2:10KJV
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

One day God said to me, “Make sure you fulfill your purpose”. He didn’t say, “ I will make sure you fulfill your purpose”. This is because you can be a Christian and not fulfill the purpose for which you were put on this earth.

The saddest thing in life is not death but a man or woman who dies without fulfilling the purpose for his or her life. Your life is an investment by God. One day, He will come for the returns. There is a purpose for which you were created; you didn’t just happen on the seen. There is a reason why you are living in this world, at this time, at that place and in this season.

The fact that you are a Christian doesn’t mean you will fulfill your purpose for life, for there are many Christians including ministers who die without fulfilling their destiny.

I remember the story of a great man of God who left for Heaven about two decades ago. It was after he had been in ministry for 15 years that God said to him, you have now found your purpose for life. The Bible says,

“Except the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it. Except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain…….
Psalm 127:1KJV”

Please, I want you to observe the Scripture closely. He didn’t say something was not built. They labored, spent resources, time and energy to build something but it was all in vain because God wasn’t behind it. It was a complete waste of time.

This is the mistake of many Christians. When they see a so-called Church, with people trooping in and out, they think God is behind it or God is in that Church. Not necessary. Is the vision of that church His vision? Is the Church built on the foundation of the Word of God? Are things done according to His ways, instructions and order? Don’t be deceived by carnal elements.

In the same vein, your own life is a building. The Bible says,

“For we are laborers together with God; ye are God’s husbandry; ye are God’s building….
1 Corinthians 3:9KJV”

Don’t build your life in vain.

There are Christians that when you ask them their purpose for life, why God placed them on His green earth, their answer is I was born to be a doctor, pharmacist, scientist, farmer, trader, entrepreneur, politician etc.? This is very sad, an answer borne out of ignorance. No! Child of God. You were not born to be a doctor, lawyer, farmer, trader etc.

There is a natural destiny and there is a divine destiny. The natural destiny is the destiny sold to you by the society you live in. Even your parents or peers may sell it to you. This is the natural destiny.

This is why its not only Christians who are doctors, politicians, traders, lawyers etc. Muslims, atheist, homosexuals, satanist, buddhist are also lawyers, doctors, teachers, politicians, etc.

This is not the God-given destiny but the natural destiny. Does God influence natural destinies? Emphatically yes! But when He influences natural destinies, His main goal is how he wants that to impart your divine destiny.

The day you meet your Maker, He is not going to ask you about the natural destiny. You are going to give an account for the divine destiny.

Find out your divine destiny and fulfill it. Someone’s divine destiny can be as simple as being a Bible distributor. Someone may say, my whole life to be just a Bible distributor?

“But nay, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, “Why hast thou made me thus?…..
Romans 9:20KJV

God bless you!
