YOUR DESTINY

THANK YOU FATHER.

I believe that God who is the Alpha and The Omega, The One who knows the beginning from the end, The One who created and designed the plan, the goal and the objective for man carefully, who knew me before He formed me in my mothers womb and set me aside for a specific purpose, is capable to get me where He appointed me to be.
Amen.
In no way do I believe that I am not where God would have me be right now, this day at this time and moment.

There is a lovely woman that I know in passing at the hospital and whenever she sees me in the hall or elevator she always asks me, " When are you going to preach?"
She asks me this because years ago I used to send out e-mails to all of the women that I wanted to be encouraged in the LORD on a daily basis and to some men as well.

When the Lord put on my heart to stop the emails, He led me to blog.
I write my blog not because I know how to, or am good at it, or trained to do it, it's not an audition for anything, it's not me trying to market myself to an audience, but because it is what The Father assigned me to do.

People can never act on anything that they do not hear about or understand this is why I write.
Faith comes by hearing and understanding.

"I'm not a preacher." is my response to the beautiful woman who assumes that I should be.
There are enough preachers and folks who based in their charisma and ability to capture an audience are doing something that they were not destined to do simply because someone else believed they had talent.

Because someone saw how they captured the attention of a crowd.

Some are called life coaches because a life coach can cross over to the secular corporate world in conferences, seminars and not even mention Jesus and become wealthy for speaking engagements while motivating people positively.
Preaching mind over matter yet no soul change just behavioural adjustments.

Salvation and faith in the LORD Jesus is more than behavioural adjustments.

I don't write this against God's call for those who He has called.
I'm making a point because I recently met a woman who had broken up with her boyfriend and he decided that if she wasn't going to be with him, she wasn't going to be with anyone.

This woman has been to all of the seminars, conventions and life coaching sessions for years.
Yet she felt helpless and was contemplating returning to this man.

I tried to wrap my mind around the thinking of someone who had the audacity to believe that if you won't do what they want you to do that they would set out to see that you wouldn't be able to do anything at all?

This dude had professed his undying love to this girl 6 months ago and then in one breath threatened to harm her.
He began to tamper with her life in many areas when she left him from childish things to more serious things that could affect her livelihood.

And I tried to look in the Word of God for an example from Jesus and find if this was the Lord's attitude on how to deal with the end of a relationship, I couldn't find a precept for it.

Except to depart and wipe your feet if your peace is not received.
I talked to this woman and showed her what real love is, because out of fear and believing that she couldn't get her life back in order as a result of his shenanigans she was thinking about going back to this dude.

I told her, "NO YOU DON'T!"

I told her how I once watched a child take a toy from his sibling and when the mother told that child to share the toy, the one child decided that if he had to share it he would destroy it, so he took the toy and dropped it down a hole in the ground, I was taken a back and in total shock.

I remember thinking when I saw that behaviour in a child then that if I was to see him as an adult without anyone ever showing him why that was wrong and not love, it would manifest in him as a grown man.

That young child was not about to relinquish his power and that was his display of it.
His mother however snatched his behind up and made him get down in the dirty hole and get that toy out, clean it off, and give it to the other child.

As an adult it is sick and nowhere near representative of love to say to a woman that if she won't be with you that she won't be with anyone else.
Open hostility and manipulative tactics are bully like and represent a spoiled control freak attitude.
Covertly disguising threats as warnings.

People like this need to let it go at the warning of the Word of God where this type of behaviour is concerned, because a wicked man and wicked intentions will always come to shame.

I said all of this to say that if you are a woman or a man who has decided that you are simply going in the direction that is safe for you, your well being or health, your children, family and or that God has called you to go, don't be manipulated, intimidated or care if you are misunderstood.

Go forward.

Any man or woman who believes that their assistance or presence is absolutely essential to you achieving what God has planned for your life has put them selves on God's throne.
Because it is The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit and your knowledge and confidence in them that are the absolute essentials to your succeeding at what God has assigned you to do in life.

I didn't say that you don't need people, we do need each other, but you do not need people with this type of attitude.

My blog is not essential to your success, it is designed to increase your confidence in who you are In Christ Jesus regardless of your connections, affiliations, habits or mishaps.

If the LORD has tied me to your destiny in any way, shape, or form, it is not me who deserves accolades but it is Him who you glorify.
I would never even give you the impression that if you are not connected to me that you will not make it in life or that you will not experience or have all that God has designed for you to have and or experience.

I would never set out to hinder your progress in any way and then profess to walk by faith or love.

God's grace is sufficient.

Abused women, think long and hard about any relationship that desires to make the point that you are nothing without them.
It's toxic.

This ain't The Color Purple with Celie and Mister.

Apart from God we can do nothing, so it is with God that all things are possible.

Follow Jesus and leave everything up to Him.
The Christian life is not a simple desire to show in the flesh or outward appearance that we have some material that is supposed to mean that we are blessed.

It's not hair, makeup, wardrobe, botox injections, and hair dye.

The Christian life is a confidence that even when you don't look the part you are the part because it is Christ in you that controls your destiny.
LOVE Y'ALL :)
