DESTINY IS WITHIN YOU

Recently I am reading another book about destiny. The book is titled 'Destiny is within you' by Musa Bako. My sharing is taken from highlights of the book.

Every person is created for a purpose and every individual has a mission here on earth to accomplish something. We all have great destinies within us; we have been endowed with great potential. We can all accomplish something great and enjoy the best of life. Jesus' primary mission to the earth was not just so that we can be saved and go to heaven after we pass on. He has come to give everyone the power and ability to enjoy living, succeed on this earth and to fulfil God's purpose for creating them.

The desire within you to be successful and achieve something significant in life is put inside you by God for His own pleasure and purpose. No desire or ambition is evil in itself except if it was solely for our self-gratification or if it harmed humanity. If that desire is channeled towards God and to help humanity, then it is a noble thing. The quest to achieve great success, find joy and fulfilment, be wealthy, have a great marriage, great family, accomplished career, and to be influential is a noble quest.

As a child of Most High God, He has raised you up and you are not under. You are blessed to be a blessing, to be God's vessel. As a result of your union with God, He is going to give you specific ideas, desires, visions, dreams and passions to achieve certain things in life for His glory. There is so much potential in you that is not fully maximised yet. The anointing on your life will not fail.

Everything that God has planned for you is achievable but it is crucial that you have a good understanding of what His plan is for you. Otherwise you may spend your whole life trying to be somebody else and not the person He created you to be. That would be a tragedy. It would also frustrate the grace of God on your life. If there is anything worth investing in your life, it must be something that you are persuaded in your heart that it's the original plan of God for your life. It must be something that will not only make you happy, but impact your generation, achieve greatness and bring glory to Him.

Your understanding of destiny will invigorate your strength when you need to keep holding on in challenging times and it will be your motivation when your world seems to be turned upside down. When the odds are against you, the knowledge of your destiny will keep you focused and keep you going. Walking in ignorance of who you are meant to be will cause you to give up too soon or cause you to go around in circles, wasting precious time and opportunities.

Creating an ideal picture of your tomorrow is what will empower you through your journey to tomorrow. What you can see in tomorrow is what you can become. What do you see? Having a vision doesn't mean you are not going to encounter challenges. You may experience delays, encounter opposition and experience attacks but no matter what obstacles you face, remind yourself of the future you see and if you can keep your focus unbroken, you are going to reach your destiny. You will be tried and tested as you go along. When the going gets tough, your enemy will make you stop believing your destiny and going after it, but if you keep your vision in focus, you will get there.
