*Sunday of commanding destinies*
Preacher: Prophet Fortune
Scripture reference
Exodus 14:13 NIV
[13] Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again.
Moses is speaking these words of faith to the Israelites when their faith seems to be shaken.
Anything holding your destiny & life captive, the Lord is delivering you today - you shall see the salvation of the Lord.
The same God who took you out of captive from Pharaoh is the same God who will deliver you from your Goliath.
NB: The greatest weapon that the enemy use against our success is fear.
Moses is encouraging the Israelites to stand firm & see the deliverance of the Lord.
HOW TO COMMAND DESTINIES
1. *MOVE FORWARD*
Don't look back otherwise you will invite fear & loose your destiny.
Reaching Canaan isn't easy - raging seas & mountains will be encountered along the way, nevertheless don't look back just move forward.
In your promise to good health, you will encounter ill health along the way.
In your promises to abundance, you will experience lack first. In all this, DON'T LOOK BACK
2. *BE CONSISTENT IN PRAYER*
1 Kings 18 - Elijah goes up the mountain to pray for rain. He send his servant into the river to check for any sign of rain. There seems to be no sign of rain but he stood in prayer until the seventh time when a tiny cloud like a fist of man was seen in the sky - a sign of rain.
Prayer is a portal that connects you to God. Pray without getting weary, pray in & out of season. Without prayer you can't reach your destiny.
Caleb & Joshua managed to reach Canaan because they were men of prayer.
3. *Never despise small beginnings*
Appreciate the small things that God does for your life. These are the foundations of greater things.
Zechariah 4:9 NIV
[9] “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.
What ever you started, God will give you the grace to finish it.
