Post date: Mar 21, 2013 4:07:57 AM
God made you to be a success, He did not save and called you to be a failure; He has not enabled you to be stagnant but to be productive and active until you reach the goal set for you in life. You are alive and able today because of that destiny ahead of you, and trust God for the enabling grace to reach the mark of the calling through His ever available help. Because God said it, I trust you will get it, you will reach it and you will be joyful in it despite the challenges, delays, and the pitfalls on that road. Your journey in life will not end abruptly.
Everyone has a destiny to fulfill and a mission to be dedicated to in order to reach that destiny in life. To know your destiny, look at your mission in life compared to the word of God, or ask God, not man, to show you. Every mission is a direct pointer to destiny. Every destiny and every mission has its starting and ending place, has it days of joy and its day of sadness, its days of triumph and its day of challenges. Destiny has its true and solid foundation grounded in obedience to every command by the Lord despite the challenges that lies ahead in following such commands. You will not stop until you reach the point and place of your destined blessings
God will never lead you without giving you instructions to follow and you cannot in any way please Him without obeying those instructions. He will not leave when you in obedience. His command leads the way to the place of your establishment and confirmation in the blessings after obedience had led you to the place of the proposed establishment. Every command from above must be followed and every desire will be challenged. Every instruction gives life to you and to the things you do, seeking to bless you for the world to see and celebrate the Lord.
Peter, together with other apostles of Jesus Christ, while acting on obedience to the command of our Lord entered the boat to cross over to the other side of the river. They encountered a storm but saw Christ walking over that same storm that was challenging their obedience, on his request Peter was granted permission to walk on that same water that challenged him. After a period of joy, of celebration, a period of having victory over adversity and destruction, Peter began to sink, but he lifted up his hands and voice and said, Lord I am not where you asked me to be yet, I truly desire being there, please help. Literally saying; Help Lord, I am not there yet.
“Then He directed the disciples to get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent away the crowds. And after He had dismissed the multitudes, He went up into the hills by Himself to pray. When it was evening, He was still there alone. But the boat was by this time out on the sea, many furlongs [a furlong is one-eighth of a mile] distant from the land, beaten and tossed by the waves, for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, It is a ghost. And they screamed out with fright. But instantly He spoke to them, saying, Take courage. Stop being afraid. And Peter answered Him, Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water. He said, Come. So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water, and he came toward Jesus. But when he perceived and felt the strong wind, he was frightened, and as he began to sink, he cried out, Lord, save me from death. Instantly Jesus reached out His hand and caught and held him, saying to him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt? And Peter answered Him, Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water. He said, Come. So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water, and he came toward Jesus. But when he perceived and felt the strong wind, he was frightened, and as he began to sink, he cried out, Lord, save me from death. Instantly Jesus reached out His hand and caught and held him, saying to him.” Matthew 14:22-32
Are you at this point? We all are, call out to the Lord as Peter. He will reach out His hands to you as He did for Peter that you may reach the place of your celebration. For prayer Click here
