By Apostle Alex Adusei Agyemang Psalms 139:16NIV Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. The dangerous person in life is the man or woman fulfilling his calling and destiny. Be careful how you deal with such a person. If a person is living out his divine destiny, you cannot stop him. The one satan fears the most is that man or woman fulfilling the destiny. This is why they couldn’t stop Jesus. God became a man and was fulfilling His destiny, even the grave couldn’t hold Him back. You have to understand that you are not an accident, every detail of your life was planned. There are many Christians who die without fulfilling their purpose in life. Some years ago, God told me that many of His Children die without fulfilling their purpose for life. You are not fulfilling your purpose just because you go to church on Sunday. The most important thing in life is to fulfil the purpose for which God put you on earth. There are two things that prevent men from fulfilling their purpose, the cares of this world and the love of money. So Paul says, “ For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows…….1 Timothy 6:10KJV” Evil is not only when you kill, steal or destroy, it is equally evil not to fulfil the purpose for which God created you. It means you lived for yourself The life of every human was planned before he came. King David said, “Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be” The potter has right over the clay. You don’t tell God what you want your destiny to be, He tells you what it is supposed to be. It’s either money is going to decide how you live or God. What motivates your decisions in life, God or money? If it is money, you are failing in life. It doesn’t matter whether you have it in billions, you are still a failure. There were some Christians like that, they had so much money that there wasn’t anything they couldn’t afford but as long as Jesus was concerned, they were failures “Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:…..Revelations 3:17KJV” This statement from Jesus was not to unbelievers but Christians. He said, “And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write;………..Revelations 3:14 KJV”. It was to people who went to church, paid tithes, gave offerings and sang songs to glorify God. What is He saying to you and your church? There are Christians who are complaining to God but are not sensitive enough to hear that God is also complaining about them Don’t let any preacher deceive you. Live right! You really have to understand what Christianity is and that which God expects from you. You have to fulfil His plan for your life. As far as the Lord Jesus is concerned, this is what success is about. Don’t think like the world He says “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever……..1 John 2:15-17NIV” Its either you love the world or God. There is no middle ground. You have to choose. If you are driven and motivated by the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes and boastings of life, you don’t love God. This is what Jesus referred to as the cares of this life and the deceitfulness of riches. “The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful…..Matthew 13:22 NIV” The Laodicea Christians were deceived by money. Like many in the world, they thought they were a success when really they weren’t. He is not only against the rich but the poor. He is also against those who because of the worries and cares of life, are not fulfilling their purpose in life. This is why He mentioned the worries of life and the deceitfulness of riches. He is no respecter of persons. Whether a poor or rich Christian, you have to fulfil the plan for which He put you on earth God bless you!
