Walking In Your Destiny.

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.” Psa. 37:23-24. 

Many years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court Justice, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., was on board a train, deep in thought as he studied a legal matter which was shortly due to be heard in court. After a short while the ticket inspector approached and asked the judge for his ticket. Holmes, who was widely known as being somewhat forgetful, searched his belongings inside and out but failed to come up with the ticket or the adequate means of purchasing one. The inspector then recognised his famous passenger and to save any further embarrassment, suggested that the absent-minded judge hand in his ticket or the correct fare on his return journey. Holmes, still perplexed, replied, “Thank you inspector but the real issue here, and my cause for embarrassment, is not so much a question of the fare but rather, where am I going?” That’s a question a lot of people ask. Where am I going? In his case he needed the ticket to remind him of where he was going.

On a daily basis you see a crowd of people out of their respective houses from dusk to down. We are compelled to ask where they are going. Destiny does not submit to restlessness but to decisiveness. Walking in God’s will is a lifelong process of surrender, but it is not intended to be a mystery. The foundation of walking in God’s will is not seeking a road map, but developing a submissive heart. True alignment begins when you lay down your own desires, plans, and timing to embrace God's. Daily present yourself as a "living sacrifice" (Rom. 12:1), choosing to obey what is already clearly revealed in Scripture over personal convenience. Obedience in small things positions you for guidance in big things. 

Knowing exactly who you are, where you are and where you are headed, is rooted in God’s word. God's will is never contradictory to His Word. The Bible acts as a "lamp to your feet and a light to your path" (Psalm 119:105), guiding your decisions by providing principles for daily life. Evaluate all opportunities by asking: "Is this forbidden by God's Law? Does it violate any scriptural principles?". If it contradicts Scripture, it is not God's guidance. God can also use other people to provide wisdom and perspective and instructions that can lead you to the next level of your destiny, acting as a safeguard against misguided decisions. Consult mature, experienced Christians who have a strong walk with God. All you need is advice, do not let someone else make your decision, but allow their input to highlight blind spots or confirm what you are sensing. You will not miss out on God's plans in Jesus name.

DECLARATION: 

Dear Abba Father, I thank You for the gift of life and the privilege of salvation.  Dear Lord, I receive grace, wisdom and supernatural guidance to walk in divine alignment in my destiny. I frustrate every satanic undercurrent designed to slow me down, distract me and derail me in destiny. I declare that I'm graced, anointed and assisted by God to walk in the fullness of my purpose. Nothing that the devil does against me is permitted to prosper in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
