The Bible talks about a destiny for each one of us:
Jeremiah 29:11 NASB “For I know the plans I have for you,
declares the Lord…”
Ephesians 2:10 NLT“…So we can do the good things He planned
for us long ago.”
Hebrews 12:1 NLT “…Run with endurance the race God has set
out before us.”
God has predetermined plans for us to discover and follow,
but God’s destiny for His people requires cooperation. Destiny for people and groups are woven all
throughout the Bible. If we are going to
fully embrace our destiny as a church, we first must understand how it is
explained in Scripture.
How can you recognize your destiny?
First, it’s a desire that won’t let
you go. Paul cried, “Woe to me, if I do not preach in 1 Corinthians
9:16. Being queen was Esther’s position, but saving god’s people was her
destiny. That’s why she risked everything and said, "If I perish, I
perish” in Esther 4:16. We’re not important, but God’s purpose is!
Second, your destiny will be more
than a job, it’ll be a joy. Yes there will be sacrifices but through it
all you will say, like David said in Psalm 40:8,“I delight to do thy will, O my
God.”
Third, your destiny will unlock your
creativity. It will open doors and bring the right people to you.
God’s purpose always carries with it God’s favor!
Finally, your destiny fulfilled
is the only thing you will want to face God with. He won’t say ‘well
done’ over the money you’ve made or the reputation you’ve built. He’ll
only say it because you found and fulfilled His purpose.
Surrendering to God’s will is no
little game, but rather the ultimate in adventure. Yes, God’s Will
includes trouble, trials, and tragedy, but it also includes the problem-solver
and God of all comfort, our Savior.
Remember, God wants you to know His will for your life!
Psalm 25:14 "The Lord confides in those who reverence
Him. He makes His covenant known to them."
John 7:17 "Anyone who chooses
to do God’s will, shall know it."
