TOPIC: DEFEATING THE POWERS THAT RUBBISH DESTINY (Part 6)
TEXT: JOB 14:1; LUKE 7:31-32
INTRODUCTION
Your greatest enemy on earth is anything that would not allow you to fulfill your destiny. Your destiny is Godâs divine agenda for your life. It is your purpose for living; what God has written concerning you.
Destiny is the totality of Godâs intention for your life; it is the reality of predestination. Thus, Destiny Fulfillment is the ultimate expression of your vision in your destined location; Destiny fulfillment is the fullness or fulfillment of godliness in your humanness; Destiny Fulfillment is climaxing aggrandizement of your purpose internalization; Destiny Fulfillment is the terminus windfall in human beings and the completion of your responsibility in your atmospheric strata; Destiny fulfillment is achievement of completeness of divinity in your humanity for maximum resultâŚ
There are powers that want to rubbish your destiny and we said they are categorized into two: INTERNAL POWERS/ENEMIES and EXTERNAL POWERS/ENEMIES. Internal enemies constitute 90% and external powers are 10%. We have dealt with internal enemies please the CDs from our book shop; we started discussing external enemies and we talked on one enemy called: Powers of the Heavenlies.
Today we will continue with number two external powers/enemies which is ADVERSITY (Prov. 24:10).
There is a day called the day of ADVERSITY. There are three SOURCES of Adversity: GOD, MAN, SATAN bearing on our destiny fulfillment (Job 14:1).
Adversity is inescapable and wants you to fail. If you fail destiny fulfillment is truncated or gained as the case may be. Many canât fulfill their destinies because they canât stand pressure.
THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ADVERSITY:
(1) Adversity is universal (But you must turn it to bread).
(2) Adversity does not discriminate
(3) Adversity shows no mercy (It can pursue you from cradle to grave)
(4) Adversity has no respect at all
(5) Adversity does not require an invitation
(6) Adversity does not issue warning before it comes
(7) Adversity not handled well can lead to untimely dead
(8) Every adversity has an expiry date
WHAT THEN IS ADVERSITY?
(1) Adversity is a state of afflictionâŚ
(2) Adversity is contrary situation against a projected expectation
(3) Adversity is reversal manifestation of a manâs desire (Luke 5:1; II Kings 6)
(4) Adversity is when the reverse of your expectation becomes your reality
PRAYER: Bo***ge breaker, JESUS CHRIST, Appear in my situation now!
GOODNEWS: Adversity can be dealt with
WARNING: If you donât deal adversity, where you believe for bread, youâll get stone, et ce tra. (It is adversity that turned Nigeria into a war zone and other countries of the world)
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO CONQUER ADVERSITY?
(1) Healthy Spirit
The size of your spirit determines the size of your destiny. It is impossible to have a strong spirit and have a wrong destiny. You can out-grow your infirmity if you can train your spirit â Build spirituality! If you come to church because you like prophecy or miracle too much that substitute the love for God (you come to church as long as God meets your need), you will have a double mouth, you cannot be trusted because any adverse situation can turn you off course.
MATERIAL TO BUILD A HEALTHY SPIRIT: The WORD of God (Also, do stay in His Presence; stay deep in worship). By these you will carry a lighted spirit and that light will quench your night.
(2) Divine Wisdom (I Samuel 18:14)
The mentality of God delivers you from the calamity of life (Eccl. 7:12). Mentality guarantees longevity. To be âwiselessâ makes you defenseless; to be âwisefulâ makes you âdefensefulâ. To escape adversity, the ability of wisdom is a requirement. WISDOM IS THE ABILITY TO HEAR GOD PERTIME: All financial adversity is lack of the manifestation of wisdom, et ce tra. NOTE: God is not to be explained, He is to be demonstrated.
(3) Manipulation (Luke 7:31-32)
The verse says âJesus went on to say, âTo what, then, can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to each other: ââWe played the pipe for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not cry.â I see some kind of manipulation here, they play MUSIC in the market place the victim dances in the say his/her house et ce tra. Some people are manipulated like that, some wicked people, altar detecting how things should run in their lives: business, ministry, marriage, relationship⌠but today they catch fire in the mighty name of Jesus.
THERE ARE THREE COMPONENTS OF A DANCE:
(1) Pace (Eccl. 1:9)
(2) Style
(3) Steps
SPIRITUAL PLACES ARE:
(1) Market places (This usually is a place where Satanâs altars are raised John 5:2, Matt. 21:1). (2) Junction (3) Water (4) Gates (5) Shrines Read: Acts 17:17.
Synagogue deals with Religion; Market deals with Spiritual places⌠The question however is, âWhen people are playing music you donât understand; why do you dance?
Manipulation is playing music spiritually but you are dancing the music physically; this is Satanâs trick. Finally, remember, all manipulations are sponsored by tokens. Read: Isaiah 65:8.
I free you from any power that wants to rubbish your destiny in the mighty name of Jesus! Amen.
