Fulfilling your destiny

Solomon’s crown was stolen by Adonijah but when the right person to choose a successor made a pronouncement, the crown went to the right person.

This happened because Solomon’s mother demanded for the promise to be fulfilled. Your personal crown is a personal promise from God and until you place a demand for it, someone else can steal it and walk away with it. Even Adonijah realized that the throne was given to Solomon his brother by God. 1Kings 2:15, “And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother’s: for it was his from the LORD.”

Remember the throne which was meant for David was not able to go to any of his brothers when the prophet Samuel went to Jesse’s house to anoint a king on the instructions of God. The oil meant for you will not go to another in Jesus name!

Unleashing your potential

1. Your destiny is the fulfillment of your divine assignment. Your success is tied to it.

2. It is your discovery, not your decision. God is the one who decides.

3. Your talent is a pointer to your assignment. You are talented and gifted; you are unique. There is no one like you. You are extremely valuable. You are needed by someone. You are sent to some people to make their lives better. You are not sent to everyone. You are a solution to someone’s need. Doctors, nurses, and those in the medical field are solutions to those who are experiencing health challenges. Teachers are solutions to those who need education. Domestic assistants are employed to help people who are too busy to take care of their homes. No matter your area of interest, someone needs what you have; the more competent you are in meeting those need, the more valuable you become and your reward is tied to your value.

4. Your assignment will attract haters and opposition. The bigger your assignment the greater your opposition. Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 16:9, “For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.” The interesting part is that the primary attackers of your destiny are people from your household. The life of Joseph is an example. Absalom rebelled against his father David and sought to kill him but for the intervention of God. Adonijah attempted to take the throne from Solomon to whom it was already promised. Next are the people close to you. Worst still are those who desperately desire your throne. I decree failure on them all in Jesus name! God will destroy those who seek to destroy you in Jesus name! They will be consumed by their own mischief in Jesus name. They will start fighting each other very soon in Jesus’ name!

5. Your calling has a location and God will change your location per time. We used to live in another town serving God until we were moved to Abuja. Your present placement is not a mistake.

6. Your assignment is in phases. There is a discovery phase, a training phase, and execution phase. Even execution is in phases. Did I mention a reward phase? Yes; there is a phase of reward. Harvest will always follow seed.

7. Your assignment will require seasons of waiting. Some phases are rapid; others are slow, so you must learn to be patient. There will be times when nothing seems to make sense and things don’t add up. The challenge however is to know when the enemy is causing a delay or when God’s agenda is in a season of waiting.

8. You need to train to fulfill your assignment. Training converts your talent to skill. People hire you for your skill.
