Key Thoughts III

“So that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises” Heb.6:12

Our concluding thought yesterday was that the fulfillment of every destiny will require several steps of faith. So in order to secure victory and fulfill destiny, you need to turn these destiny destroyers into destiny accelerators. So we start by replacing greed with generosity. Secondly, replace impatience with patience. Patience is a powerful destiny accelerator. People are quick to think that when you are patient, you are losing time because things are passing you by. But that is so far from the truth. Be patient! Patient people are some of the most powerful people on earth. They are not in a hurry even though things are moving and people are saying all sorts of things, they are patient. There is an English adage that says: the patient dog eats the fattest bone.

“So that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises” Heb.6:12 [ESV]. To inherit the promise of God, which you will in Jesus Name, you need patience. To enter in to your destiny in God, you need patience. In the place of prayer and waiting and even after you have prayed and fasted, you need to be patient. Patience is a force of destiny. But impatience destroys destinies very quickly. Impatience can reduce someone that has a lot to someone that has zero. You cannot afford to be impatient about how and where to invest. Relax, calm down and hear what God is saying.

Thirdly, diligence in place of laziness. Diligence accelerates your destiny. Our major challenge as human beings is that we get satisfied too easily. God promotes you to that level [at work, in your business] that you think is a big one. But unfortunately, we think we have arrived. Let me tell you something, the truth of the Word of God, as long as there is breath in your nostrils [as long as you can still breath], you have not arrived. The day you arrive, your assignment is done and they will take you to heaven. Even if you have all the money in the world, you have not arrived. There are resources in Mars. People are colonizing Mars and you are talking about earth. Make up your mind not to get satisfied too easily.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, please fill me with generosity and take away greed, give me patience and remove impatience, and make me diligent where I have been lazy, in Jesus Name.
