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.

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...

Growing and operating in the sonship of Christ

THEME - UNDERSTANDING WHO WE ARE IN CHRIT LESSON 4 - GROWING AND OPERATING IN THE SONSHIP TEXT - ROMANS 8:14-23 INTRODUCTION-John 14:18 The value that God has over our relationship with him is so great that only He understands it fully. He loves and protects that relationship of father and son, we have with Him. The spirit of Christ dwells in us and this gives us the privilege and right to call ‘’Abba father’’. THE SONSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST-John 1:1-14, 1 John 5:1-3, Luke 1:35 The charge against Jesus, was that He claimed to be the son of God- Matthew 27:43, John 19:7; a claim He never denied but admitted- Luke 22:70. Demons called Jesus the son of God- Luke 4:41, Mark 3:11. Peter revealed it- Matthew 1:15-17. Jesus is the firstborn- Col 1:15 and first begotten- Col 1:18, Heb 1:6, Rev 1:5. As the son, He is same with the father in equality and identity- Isaiah 9:6. In the sense of begotten, it does not mean Jesus has a beginning but it is so, for our understanding of the relat...

Taking our place in God's Dominion mandate

THEME: Understanding who we are in Christ LESSON 5: Taking our place in God’s dominion mandate MAIN TEXT: Colossian 1:15-20 INTRODUCTION God gave man the dominion mandate in Genesis 1:26-28 but we cannot fully understand and operate in the dominion mandate without a relationship with Jesus Christ because in Him lies the fullness of all things and the dominion over all are under Him as the Lord of all. Matthew 28:18. 1 Peter 3:22. And we are complete in Christ. THE LORDSHIP OF CHRIST – Ephesians 1:20-23, Daniel 7:14 Jesus Christ is Lord over all because He is God. God rules over all things by His providential control – Psalm 103:19. He has achieved the final victory over sin and death through His resurrection and ascension. Christ has authority over all believers and unbelievers – Matthew 20:18. The implication of the dominion of Christ: i) He is truly the King of kings and Lord of lords – Revelation 19:16. (ii)He is the blessed and only potentate – 1 Timothy 6:15. (iii)He...
