Understanding Destiny - Walking in God's Ordained Purpose.

**Title: Understanding Destiny – Walking in God's Ordained Purpose**

**By Pastor Samuel Aniekan**

**Opening Scripture:**
Jeremiah 1:5 – *“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”*

### 🔥 Introduction:

Destiny is not an accident. It is God’s intentional plan and purpose for your life. Every person born on earth was sent with a specific assignment, a unique path, and a divine program. The tragedy of life is not death but living without discovering and fulfilling your destiny.

### 💡 What Is Destiny?

Destiny is the **pre-ordained divine plan** of God for a person’s life. It is God’s script for your existence. It is not what you wish for yourself but what God wrote about you before you were born.

Destiny is:

* The **blueprint** of your life in God's mind.
* Your **divine assignment** on earth.
* The **path** God created for you to walk in.
* The **reason** for your creation.

### 📘 Biblical Examples:

* **Jeremiah** was ordained a prophet before birth (Jer. 1:5).
* **Joseph** had a destiny of rulership, even though he passed through the pit and the prison.
* **Esther** was raised “for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14).
* **Jesus** was born to save the world (Matt. 1:21).

### 🚧 Dangers That Fight Destiny:

1. **Ignorance** – Hosea 4:6
2. **Sin and compromise** – Can cut off divine alignment.
3. **Wrong associations** – Can derail or delay your destiny.
4. **Satanic manipulation** – Witchcraft, covenants, ancestral altars.
5. **Fear and discouragement** – Like the ten spies (Numbers 13).

### 🔑 How to Discover and Fulfill Your Destiny:

1. **Submit to God** – Salvation is the first step to destiny.
2. **Seek God in prayer** – Ask Him to reveal His purpose (Jer. 29:11-13).
3. **Study His Word** – The Bible is the book of purpose.
4. **Pay attention to your gifts and passions** – Your assignment is connected to your divine wiring.
5. **Get mentorship** – Elisha needed Elijah. Timothy needed Paul.
6. **Stay consecrated and disciplined** – You can’t live anyhow and expect divine results.

### 🙏 Prophetic Declarations:

* I shall not miss my destiny!
* Every power fighting my purpose, scatter by fire!
* I align with God’s original plan for my life!
* I will fulfill destiny in Jesus' name!

### 🛐 Prayer Points:

1. O Lord, show me the blueprint of my life in Jesus’ name.
2. Every power assigned to derail my destiny, die by fire!
3. Let the anointing for speed and accuracy in destiny fall upon me.
4. I recover every year I’ve wasted outside divine purpose.
5. My life shall not be a shadow of what God wrote. I will fulfill my calling!

### 🎯 Conclusion:

You were born for a purpose. Don’t just exist—live deliberately, pursue your assignment, and become everything God intended. The world is waiting for your manifestation (Romans 8:19).

Now is the time to rise. Arise, shine; for your light has come!

The Spirit of Jezebel in the Jezebelian Church

  Text: Revelation 2: 18-23 Key Verse: Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach & to seduce my servants to commit fornication, & to eat things sacrificed unto idols. (Revelation 2:20) The Jezebelian Church is a church in which the spirit of Jezebel is in control rather than the Holy Spirit. We all know about the evil character called Jezebel in the old testament who was the leading prophetess of Baal & enshrined Baal worship as the official religion in Israel. She had about 850 prophets in her pay roll & she slayed the prophets of God to the point that the rest had to go into hiding & only Elijah was the only vocal prophet of God. Jezebel sponsored & promoted Idolatry, whoredoms, prostitution, sexual looseness & immorality among her members, prophets & ministers. Wickedness & evil was the order of the day while Jezebel was in power. Naboth experienc...

The Consequence of Sinning Willfully

Hebrew 10:26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins. Many people today use grace as an excuse to indulge, live & practice sin. They will tell you that they have the grace to commit steal, live a fraudulent lifestyle, commit fornication & many other atrocities. You hear many so call believers go against God’s commandment with impunity & tell you that the God has already forgiven them of the sins they have already committed & the ones they are yet to commit. Does the fact that Christ has paid the price for your sins give the Christian the right to live in sin? The answer is a capital NO. The bible says that shall we continue in sin that grace may abound, God forbid how shall we that are dead to sin live any longer in it. How will you feel if your child refuses to read & study his books & then fails intentionally & has to repeat the same class? When you complain about your child...
