Going to church, reading the bible, listening to Christian music will not advance your spiritual life. These activities may give you more understanding but until you are ready to lay down your life and take up your cross this leads nowhere.

What I am talking about is the sacrifice of self to advance the cause of Jesus Christ in the world. There is a destiny that God had for each of us that only we can personally discover. We can discover it only by detaching from the world and making ourselves available for the Holy Spirit. By detaching from the world--now you have time--the commodity that most Christians are not willing to give.

Jesus said, "Self-help is not help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, to finding yourself, your true self. (Matthew 16:25)

"God has planted eternity in the human heart." (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

"Anyone who lets himself be distracted from the work I plan for him is not fit for the Kingdom of God." (Luke 9:62)

"The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me." (Acts 20:24)

"We have been sent to speak for Christ." (2 Corinthians 5:20)

"We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2:10)

Seeds Of Kingdom Design And Destiny

Posted 09-30-2023 at 12:24 PM by Albert Finch


"Seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and Godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, in order that by them you might become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust."—2 Peter 1:3-4

The Scripture points out we have received His precious and magnificent promises by which we become partakers of His divine nature.

"And those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will raise up the age-old foundations; and you will be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of the streets in which to dwell." - Isaiah 58:12

The Lord's ultimate desire for His people is to restore and renew the breach between Heaven and earth and impart to them a spirit of VALOR AND COURAGE to affect the lives of others; then we will carry the battle to the enemy gates and plunder his camp by aiding and discipling those who once failed to find their rightful place in the Body of Christ. We will find those of our brethren living in fear and seclusion and DISCIPLE them into a new VISION FOR THEIR LIFE IN CHRIST.

SPIRITUAL BONDAGE AND SLAVERY


The "spirit of fear" is a form of bondage and spiritual slavery. It is a ruthless taskmaster attempting to steal the seeds of DESTINY and PURPOSE being awakened within the hearts of many of God's people. The Lord knew us before the foundation of the world, and He deposited within us a calling in Christ that we are to access and gain ground for His Kingdom in the earth. Those seeds are now being awakened and activated within many believers and it is our adversary’s determined desire to prohibit that from coming into full fruition.

Many debilitating spirits that feed off of fear will circumvent OUR CALLING and DESTINY. Awareness of this plot is mandatory so that we can embrace God's provision to overcome.

Although the brothers of David witnessed the anointing oil poured upon him by the prophet Samuel, yet they were the very ones who chastised David for his willingness to confront the champion of the enemy army. Nonetheless, that did not deter him from fulfilling his DESTINY and demonstrating the Lord's victory.

We cannot allow adverse circumstances to hinder us from forging ahead and fulfilling God’s purpose for our life.

The demonstration of the Lord's mantle through our oneness with Christ and our courage and determination to overcome "Goliath" will release the armies of God to plunder the camp of the enemy. Many of our brethren are held captive by the forces of the adversary. It is the Lord’s desire and intent for US to DISCIPLE them into a realization of their Christ identity.

Hebrews 12:28-29 declares: - "Therefore since we are receiving a Kingdom which cannot be shaken, let US have GRACE, by which we may SERVE God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire."
