To optimise your destiny, you must know certain facts. Firstly, the purpose of every product is determined in the factory and not in the market. Every manufacturer considers purpose before a product is manufactured. Secondly, God is the manufacturer, while you are the product. Psa.100:3 confirms that God made us and, so, he has a purpose for us.

To optimise your destiny, you must know certain facts. Firstly, the purpose of every product is determined in the factory and not in the market. Every manufacturer considers purpose before a product is manufactured. Secondly, God is the manufacturer, while you are the product. Psa.100:3 confirms that God made us and, so, he has a purpose for us.

The third fact is, our purpose on earth has been predetermined before we were born. Your identity and your destiny has been fixed before you were conceived, Jer. 1:5. You were separated and called right from the womb, Gal.1:15. The day you surrender your life to Christ, you step into God’s predestination agenda for you. This is the fourth fact as seen in Eph. 1:5-6. Again, redemption makes a believer a child of destiny with a destination in view.

At birth, you are born a child; but from redemption, you are raised a Son. Isa. 9:6 says unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given. Everyone has a seed of destiny in him/her, but it is left for the person to diligently work it out and fulfill his/her purpose. Work out your salvation from being a child to becoming a son. Many people die without fulfilling their destinies – may this never be your story in Jesus’ name.

As a child of God, you have a glorious destiny, 2 Pet. 1:3. Your calling is not unto shame so don’t be deceived or be carried away by strange and false prophecies that contradict the word of God. Your destiny is enviable. In Gen. 26:12-14, Isaac prospered so much in a strange land such that even the indigenes envied him. Gal. 4:28 says as Isaac was, so are we in this present world.

Beloved of God, the days that men pity you is over, may they begin to envy and celebrate with you in Jesus’ name. Again, your destiny is royal because you have the DNA of God, which makes you a member of God’s royal family. The child of a king is a king (Rev. 5:10), so, let this consciousness be in you at all times. You are not an ordinary person; rather you are destined for greatness. Learn to comport yourself with elegance in your speech and mannerism everywhere you go.

Your destiny is top-notch; this means a mountain top destiny. What you are today is not the end of your story. It does not matter where you are coming from and what you look like today, you are a man of great destiny, going to a destination to manifest. Deut. 28:1 says, if you hear and do according to God’s word, he will set you high above the nations of the earth. You are the salt of the earth and you must do what it takes to bring out the taste in you to influence lives. If men cannot see your value, they will trample upon you. A $100 bill retains its value no matter how much you squeeze it. No matter how much life has squeezed you, never lose your value.

Lastly, you have a prosperous and great destiny, Gen. 12:1-3. You are a blessed man and not permitted to live as a destitute, Gal. 3:13-14.
