DESTINIES CAN CHANGE
Verse To Memorise: Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. Hebrews 4:1
Bible reading: Hebrews 3:15-19,
15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all
that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? Was it not with
them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his
rest, but to them that believed not?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Bible in one year: Leviticus 1:1-4:12, 1st Corinthians 3
MESSAGE:-
One of the
privileges that being in Christ grants to you is that your present situation
and your past life cannot hinder your God-given destiny. God has decided your
destination even before you were born. Because you are a child of destiny, you
will get to your destination in Jesus’ Name. Nevertheless, you need to know
that your destiny can be changed by God or by your attitude. God had to change
His plan for eternal priestly succession, which He has earlier promised Eli and
his household. Ponder on what God said to Eli in 1st
Samuel 2:30:
“Wherefore
the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of
thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far
from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall
be lightly esteemed.”
May God never
change His plan for your life, family and ministry in Jesus’ Name!
Just as God
can change His mind concerning a promise He made to an individual or family, He
can also change His mind concerning a promise He made to a nation. In Numbers 14:26-32, God
changed His mind concerning a generation of the children of Israel. God had
brought them to the borders of the Promised Land, in readiness to completely
fulfil the promise He had made to their fathers over 400 years before they were
born. But amazingly, they refused to enter in. they did not believe that God
could complete the process He had started. God therefore changed His mind
concerning them because of their unbelief (Hebrews
3:19). God told them that they would not enter into their destiny;
rather, they would die in the wilderness, their children, whom they thought
would never enter the Promised Land, were the same ones God now said He would
take into the land. May God never change His good plans concerning your nation
in Jesus’ Name! Unbelief is a terrible thing! Every time you fail to believe
that God can do what He has promised to do, you tie God’s hands and push Him to
dump the promise He made to you. Unbelief is a slap on God’s face. It is
understandable why they cannot believe God in their current state. However, the
moment you receive Jesus, you are supposed to become a believer. God is not
happy when believers who have experienced His ability over time, demonstrate
unbelief in Him. In any way you are in unbelief, repent fast and pull out of
it!
