DESTINY

One major way to realize, give a boast and colours to your destiny is celebrating it. The truth is that no matter the value of anything, yourself inclusive, until you celebrate it no one else will. The value you place on a thing determines the price others put on it.
 Destiny is the whole essence of man’s meaningful existence. Missing destiny is missing it all in life. If there is anything to celebrate, foremost, it is destiny.
 Life; to many is a bunch of uninteresting boredom, a liability and regrets. While some are working hard to give meaning to life, others are regretting, scheming to lose it perhaps for frustrations and unfulfillment. Why anyone must for goodness sake be thinking of suicide? Why should some one’s only option left be to give up? If you truly know what great plans God has for you I am sure you will wish and pray to live longer to fulfill destiny.

No matter the hell you seem to go through here on earth, may I remind you that in-spite of the pains and discomfort, it is but for a moment and not designed to last forever. 2Cor. 4:17 “For our light affliction which is but for a moment worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” Just as every drug has expiration date so does every problem.
 As far as God is concerned, He is our very present help in time of trouble. If we understand Him and the light attitude to life then life can be most colourful and exciting.
 1Peter 5:10 “But the God of all grace who hath called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus after that ye have suffered a while make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you”
Every stage in life is a passing phase. Things are designed by God to get better by the day for a covenant child of God. You don’t have to wake up and think it will get worse by the reason of any ugly trend around you. You can choose to enjoy every stage in life irrespective of what you have or lack.

If you are fulfilling purpose or destiny; your life will definitely always reflect colours, Joy and excitement. You will appreciate the value of life and get the best out of it. You can get excited about life; you can celebrate life at every stage. The road to celebrating destiny begins with:

1. Understanding what destiny is:
 Understanding is the gateway to the blessings of life, but a man who does not understand destiny certainly lives a mirage life.
 Destiny is all God has programmed to happen in your life time. It’s the sum total of what you are now and all you can ever be in life. You can’t have a clear understanding of your glorious and colourful destiny and not be excited Jeremiah 29:11 God’s plan and programme for you is colourful. You have a great future.

2. The second rung is discovering your own destiny i.e. why are you alive? What are you created to accomplish? What is your purpose here on earth? You are created to fulfill a purpose and being where you are programmed to be and doing what is demanded to realize your destiny is what brings fulfillment and makes the blessings of life yours at every stage.

3. The next thing that will end you in celebration of destiny is embracing or accepting your glorious destiny or purpose in life. There are people who always wish they are someone else. This kind of disposition and mentality is a robber of destiny. Listen to me! You don’t have to be like anybody to be your best in life. In fact you are unique. You can only be your best being who God has made you. Not all business men, doctors, lawyers, politicians etc. are truly great. You can be a teacher, fashion designer, footballer, singer or any God ordained purpose and be fully fulfilled. In fact there is no destiny that is inferior. If you discover your destiny in life embrace it; that is the only thing that will make you.

4. Finally you must begin to express your acceptance, Joy and excitement on the glorious destiny you have discovered. Paul said “I magnify my office”. As you are expanding your knowledge on what you are living for, you are speaking it and giving it all it takes then you are prepared to experience a most fulfilling life. People who are never happy doing what they do, hardly get the best out of it no matter the input or investment. Get excited with life particularly if you are where God has programmed you to be. You begin to thank God for who he has made you, what He has put into your hands to do. As you celebrate purpose and destiny you will see how all your destiny contains will begin to locate you. Lines will begin to fall in pleasant places.


I welcome you to your era of shining. A season when all you lay your hands upon according to God’s will prospers. When God Himself will beautify you and crown your labour and effort with success. You are ending this year celebrating with uncommon testimonies.
