DESTINIES CAN CHANGE
Memorise: Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise
being left us of entering into his rest, any of
you should seem to come short of it. Hebrews
4:1

MESSAGE
One of the privileges that being in Christ grants to
you is that your present situation and your past life
cannot hinder your God-given destiny. God has
decided your destination even before you were
born. Because you are a child of destiny, you will
get to your destination in Jesus’ Name.
Nevertheless, you need to know that your destiny
can be changed by God or by your attitude. God
had to change His plan for eternal priestly
succession, which He has earlier promised Eli and
his household. Ponder on what God said to Eli in 1st
Samuel 2:30:
“Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said
indeed that thy house, and the house of thy
father, should walk before me for ever: but now
the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that
honour me I will honour, and they that despise
me shall be lightly esteemed.”
May God never change His plan for your life, family
and ministry in Jesus’ Name!
Just as God can change His mind concerning a
promise He made to an individual or family, He can
also change His mind concerning a promise He
made to a nation. In Numbers 14:26-32, God
changed His mind concerning a generation of the
children of Israel. God had brought them to the
borders of the Promised Land, in readiness to
completely fulfil the promise He had made to their
fathers over 400 years before they were born. But
amazingly, they refused to enter in. they did not
believe that God could complete the process He had
started. God therefore changed His mind
concerning them because of their unbelief
(Hebrews 3:19). God told them that they would not
enter into their destiny; rather, they would die in
the wilderness, their children, whom they thought
would never enter the Promised Land, were the
same ones God now said He would take into the
land. May God never change His good plans
concerning your nation in Jesus’ Name! Unbelief is
a terrible thing! Every time you fail to believe that
God can do what He has promised to do, you tie
God’s hands and push Him to dump the promise He
made to you. Unbelief is a slap on God’s face. It is
understandable why they cannot believe God in
their current state. However, the moment you
receive Jesus, you are supposed to become a
believer. God is not happy when believers who
have experienced His ability over time,
demonstrate unbelief in Him. In any way you are in
unbelief, repent fast and pull out of it!
Prayer Point
Father, in any way my deeds have affected Your
plan for my life, have mercy on me, and let Your
original plan for my life be fulfilled.
