It is quite possible for a glorious destiny to be destroyed or diverted. That was what Jesus referred to when He said: If these ones keep quiet, stones shall replace them. If a person has messed up the divine destiny, then the enemy has the right to ensnare the person.
If you have missed your divine destiny it means that you are running your life on human fuel. That human fuel will soon finish. It will not suffice, since it is not a ‘divine fuel’. Whenever someone misses his divine destiny such a person’s life will be packed into the archives of “almost there” or into the archives of “worthless history,” I want you to make this confession of faith: “I refuse to be replaced, in the name of Jesus.”
The divine oil which God poured on your head will dry up the moment you get out of His divine will for your life. All the shouts of superiority over the devil will not suffice if your destiny is diverted. Promises will not be translated to victory for those who are outside the will of God.
Why should God continue to prosper what you are not supposed to do? That is why we tell people to pray like this: “If I’m doing anything outside Your will, O Lord, frustrate it.”
You must determine God’s purpose for your life and pursue it. If a person misses his or her destiny the person will end up living a wasted life. A life that is spent outside the will of God is a purposeless life. You may be doing wonderful things but once it is not what God expects you to do, it is useless.
A life could be very good but wasted. A Bible school student once prayed, saying, “O Lord, I want to die comfortably.” An old Bible school teacher who was thrice the age of the young man called him to order. He asked: “How did Paul, Peter and Jesus die?” Your prayer should not be centred on how you will die but how you Will appear before God at the end of your life. Your emphasis should be on how the Lord will tell you “well done faithful servant, welcome to the joy of thy Lord.”
This shows, therefore, that the only thing that will matter is the fact that you have been a faithful servant on earth during your existence. What God will look for when you come face to face with Him in eternity is how you fared in the task which He assigned to you during your earthly pilgrimage. The yardstick for God’s judgement will not be based on what your father wanted you to do, what the society expected from you or what you decided to do with your own life. Rather, it will be based on what God wanted you to do.
God will surely base the totality of what you were and did on earth on one side of the scale and place who He wanted you to be and what He wanted you to do in His divine programme on the other side. If you are able to achieve a pass, He will greet you warmly, saying: “Well done, faithful servant.” But if you did not do well He will surely say, “Depart from me, ye that walketh in iniquity.”
You may be the richest man on earth and you may even become the most popular man in history but if your life is far away from what God intended it to be, your total existence will be worse than wasted. A life could be wonderful and excellent and still be wasted if it fails to achieve the divine purpose. If you are forty and above and you have no sense of direction, then you are wasting away. You need lots of prayer. Why don’t you pray right now, saying, ” I refuse to drink the water of confusion. My enemies shall drink that water, in the name of Jesus.”
If someone has missed his or her divine destiny, then the person’s life becomes an experiment. Demonic powers continue to test their weapons in the person’s life just like the super powers are testing their powers on weak nations.
In my next write-up, I will be sharing Scriptural Examples Of Those That Missed Their Destiny.
Shalom!
