Sermon: Stay with God for Fulfillment of Destiny
Preacher: Pastor Seun Allen
Text: Gen. 37:5-11.
For you to fulfill your destiny, and manifest what the Lord has prepared for you, you need to stay with God. The life of Joseph as a case study (Gen. 39:2). Joseph was able to fulfill destiny because he carried God with him.
Points to note in the life of Joseph
1. Stay with God even when people misunderstand you. Joseph's brethren saw him as a dreamer, but God saw him as a leader. Gen. 37:19. If you are moved or controlled by what people think you are, fulfillment of destiny will be difficult. People judge your present, but God sees your future.
2. Stay with God during seasons of afflictions. Joseph was sold to slavery and was also imprisoned, yet he stayed with God. Psalm 34:19. If you stay with God, you will understand that every affliction is to prepare you for the greater blessings.
3. Stay with God and maintain your integrity: Joseph valued his relationship with God more than temporary pleasure. Stay with God and maintain your integrity. You want to fulfill destiny, be a man or woman of integrity. Let your integrity be paramount to you.
4. Stay with God and use your gifts to serve God. Even in prison, Joseph used his gifts for God. Your gifts can become the key to open your next level. 1peter 4:10.
5. Stay with God until your dreams become reality. Joseph's battle started at a young age, and yet he fulfilled his dreams. Delay is not denial. Habakkuk 2:3.
6. Stay with God because he never abandoned His children. Gen. 39:2. God's presence is the greatest guarantee to the fulfillment of destiny.
Remember the following:
1. Dont be moved by people's opinion about your life. People may call you by what you are passing through, but God sees you as what he plans for your life.
2. Failure is not the determinant of your future. Joseph experienced failures at certain stages of his life, yet his dream was fulfilled.
3. Rejection cannot cancel God's purpose fir your life.
4. God's presence is more valuable than worldly possessions or positions.
