Your Destiny In God.

Your Destiny In God.

“Then I asked, 'What am I to do, Lord?' The Lord told me, 'Get up and go into Damascus, and there you will be told everything you are destined to do.'”
Acts 22:10(ISV)

Many live their lives based on assumptions. They assume that God has called them to do what they are doing when God has not spoken to them.

For instance, Kenneth E. Hagin told a story of how he pastored successfully for twelve years, only to discover afterwards that God had not called him to pastor. So he left pastoring and again assumed that God had called him to become an evangelist. After three years, he discovered precisely that God had called him to be a Prophet and Teacher.

Don't gamble with your life. This is because you cannot claim God's perfect provision and protection for your life, unless you are in God's perfect will for your life, doing what God has destined you to do.    

When the Lord called Saul before he was named Paul in Acts 9:6, the first question he asked was to know the purpose of his call. And the Lord answered him, saying, “… Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.” There was no gamble, neither was he working by assumption. He knew the right city to go into and remain till he received further instructions from the Lord.

I believe one of the reasons the Apostle Paul had great success in what God called him to do was because he had a sense of purpose. He knew precisely what God had called him to do - See Acts 26:17-19.

Prayer.
Dear Father, I ask that You fill me with the knowledge of Your will concerning every area of my life. Thank You Father, for Your Spirit teaches me to do Your will and leads me in the path of righteousness, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

For further study, read:
Psalm 143:10, Proverbs 3:5-6, Isaiah 30:21.

Doing the Word.
 Ask the Lord to tell you precisely what He has called you to do. Follow the instructions that He gives you and do not assume or follow your own way.
