What’s Your Destiny?

(John 18:37) “Pilate asked him, ‘So you are a king?’ Jesus answered, ‘You say that I am a king. I was born for this, and I came into the world for this: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is committed to the truth listens to my voice.’”

(Esther 4:16) “Go and gather all the Jewish people who are in Susa and fast for me. Don’t eat or drink for three days, night or day. Both I and my young women will also fast in the same way, and then I’ll go in to the king, even though it’s against the law. And if I perish, I perish.”

(Judges 6:11-12) “After this, the angel of the LORD arrived and sat down in the shade of the oak tree in Ophrah that belonged to Joash, a descendant of Abiezer, while his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a wine press in order to safeguard it from the Midianites. The angel of the LORD appeared to him and told him, ‘The LORD is with you, you valiant warrior!’”

Your Destiny is something God has put inside of you before you were even born. However, only by submitting to Him can you, first of all, know that destiny and second, even attempt to complete it. We are all born destined to an eternity in hell separated from God. If you don’t believe me, then just look around you. But by accepting His call, we can change that destiny and start to live a righteous life.

If you are just living day to day with no eternal purpose behind it, you are completely wasting your life. Christ knew exactly why He came to earth in a human form. To die on the cross, pay for our sins, and give us the authority to destroy the works of Satan.

Esther knew why God had made her queen for that specific time in history. To plead before the King in order to stop the massacre of all the Hebrew people. Even her uncle, Mordecai told her that maybe she was favored to this position for a time such as this.

Gideon had no idea what his purpose was, so God had to tell him that he was a “mighty man of valor”, even though Gideon was hiding from his oppressors.

Here are a few pointers if you have no idea what your Divine destiny is.

First, it’s a desire you won’t let go of, and no matter what anyone says, it won’t let you go either. That desire will give you restless nights and nothing else will bring you joy but to work towards that goal. Your personal comforts and pleasure will become secondary. Of course, one can be stubborn about something they deeply desire and be completely wrong or in sin (for example Sex, Money, Fame…etc), so walking close to Christ is a good choice to avoid that.

Second, it will be more than a job, recognition, or personal gain. There will be complete joy and satisfaction when you are walking in it or towards it, knowing it is what God purposed for you.

Third, it will unlock your creativity, your faith, and your boldness to obey God even if no one else is with you. God’s purpose will always carry His favor, His anointing, His strength, and ultimately His name will be glorified through you.

Without a clear purpose or destiny for your existence, you are just an experiment.
