Destiny Fulfilment

THEME: DESTINY FULFILMENT
LESSON 1: INTRODUCTION
TEXT: ISAIAH 60:11

Our success in life is tied to the fulfilment of our divine destiny. Destiny could mean the things that will happen in the future or the force that controls what happens in the future and is outside human control. We should view destiny as something that is discoverable and not decisive. God decides our destiny and we discover it. Proverb 16:9, Proverb 20:24. This year God has assured us of destiny fulfilment.

1) Every man has a destiny: Exodus 2:1-10, Exodus 3:9-12
There is a divine purpose behind every divine destiny. Nobody is in the world as a mistake - we are divinely sent, placed and equipped- Jeremiah 1:5, Psalm 37:23. One of the major role of God in a man's life is to ordain his destiny in him and guide him to accomplish it.

2) Man's Role in destiny fulfilment: Genesis 1:27-31, Genesis 3:14-18
Remember that God made man to be a co-creator. To the Christian man, he is the visible and tangible God(god) in this earth. As a co-creator, we are the extension of God's hands but the hand must work and agree with what God conceives. Jeremiah 1:7-9. So we have a role to play and we should comply with God to fulfill this. Everything is not in God's hands, some are in our hands to do. Hebrews 6:12, Proverb 10:4.

3) The Role of our Environment: Jeremiah 29:11, 3 John 1:2
Simply, environment is everything that is around us. It can be living or non living. We are uniquely sent and placed by God because every divine location/placement attracts divine allocation and favour. There is nobody who is placed by God in an environment that lacks the capacity and endowment to overcome that environment- 1 John 4:4. A challenge of life is not an excuse to fail this year. There is no good success without spiritual and physical challenges in our environment. Overcoming these challenges makes us successful even enemies are a good sign sometimes. The presence of enemies could be a sign for change of level in life such like:
Pharaoh for Moses- Exodus 7:1
Haman for Mordecai- Esther 6:10-12
Goliath for David- 1 Samuel 17:50-51
King Herod for the Church- Acts 12:1-25
We must go to God always to solve these issues because He has a divine purpose for placing us there.

4) The Hope and Joy in destiny fulfilment- Psalm 33:4, 1 Cor 10:13
Our hope and Joy in fulfilling our destiny must be on God who sent us because He has promised and he will never fail us- Deut 7:9, 1 Cor.1:9. We should never allow rumors and evil tricks of the devil to lure us away from fulfilling our destiny this year, knowing that there is great Joy when we are accomplished in life.

Conclusion
Jesus Christ succeeded in fulfilling His destiny even though through rough road and He didn't promise us a smooth road but a secure and successful ending - John 17:15, Psalm 91:11-12. In Christ, you are already marked for success in life.

The relevance of the Christian Youth

THE RELEVANCE OF THE CHRISTIAN YOUTH IN THE 21ST CENTURY TEXT- 1 TIMOTHY 4:12-13 “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine”. These were the words of Apostle Paul to timothy; the great apostle used this to warn every youth that no man is lawfully permitted to useless their lives or to take undue advantage of their living. Youths should know their God and serve the one true God in their youthful age. Every Christian youth must rise and shine because the earth has been given to God‘s people to bring down the Kingdom of God to this world and for the propagation of the gospel to places where Jesus Christ is not yet glorified. God has bestowed a lot abilities and privileges to the youths; the youths are much closer to development and the trend of things in the society so this gives them an edge in knowing the things...

Introduction to Divine purpose

THEME: UNDERSTANDING YOUR DIVINE LIFE PURPOSE LESSON ONE: INTRODUCTION MAIN TEXT – PROVERBS 16:1-11 1) DEFINITION Well, there are multiple interpretations of what life purpose is. It may be called a spiritual calling and it can also be seen it as a higher instruction from God. Beyond religious connotations, a life purpose is simply your life’s message. It is the message you wish to drive in the world during your existence on Earth. Having a life purpose applies to all of us, whether we are religious, non-religious, or atheistic. This means that we are made by God to accomplish his desire in our living, so all must come to Him for directions.- Jeremiah 1:4-12. Well, a life purpose is the first step toward living a truly conscious life of your creation. While you can be busy with a million goals and tasks every day, when you don’t have a clear purpose (one that you believe in with your heart), you may well be barking up the wrong tree. That’s because your goals and tasks may well h...

Follow-up

THEME- POPULATING GOD’S KINGDOM TOPIC- FOLLOW UP TEXT- ACTS 15:36-41 INTRODUCTION The term follow up is scriptural and it is very important if we need a healthy, mature and established church. Follow up is likened to the mother-child relationship. A mother that gives birth to a child should stay close to the child and nuture him. Although we have follow-up department in the church, the work to follow up new believers is for every Christian. QUALITIES OF A GOOD FOLLOW UP CHRISTIAN WORKER POSSESS THE RIGHT PASSION- ACTS 15:36, ROM 15:24, PHIL 1:3-8, 1 THESS 3:5-10. Paul had a great concern for the welfare of the converts of their missionary journey. A soul winner needs to give more priority and attention to follow up converts until the babes in Christ are built up to be disciples. POSSESS THE RIGHT ATTITUDE AND APPROACH- 2 PETER 1:5-7, MATTHEW 5:14-16 The follow up worker must be natural and friendly. He must be very courteous. Keep to appointments. The follow up workers m...
