Seeds of Destiny 28 May 2018 By Pastor Paul Enenche: Securing Your Future By Appreciation
Scripture: Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. Habakkuk 3:17-18.
Thought For The Day: If you cannot appreciate God for where He has brought you from, then you can never accelerate to where He is taking you to.
It has been confirmed that the future is never guaranteed for the frustrated. The agreement to be frustrated is the agreement to forfeit destiny. That is, existing and remaining in the realm of frustration aborts one’s future. Destiny does not deliver for the depressed. Life is never fruitful for the ungrateful.
Show me a man who decides to permanently remain frustrated, depressed and ungrateful, and I will show you a man who will forfeit his destiny, future and fruitfulness in life. If you cannot appreciate God for where He has brought you from, then you can never accelerate to where He is taking you to. To secure your future, you must always be grateful to God. Destiny cannot happen for a man who refuses to be happy.
Every attack on your joy by the devil is an attack on your destiny. Every time the devil organizes a situation to make you unhappy, depressed or frustrated, it is an indirect attack on your destiny because he knows that anything that weighs you down slows you down.
So, you must be excited not just because there is a reason to, but because it is the right thing to do; decide to be excited not by feeling but by choice. This is because joy is not a gift but a choice (Philippians 4:4). Decide to choose how to feel.
Remember this: If you cannot appreciate God for where He has brought you from, then you can never accelerate to where He is taking you to.
