Every believer is ordained of God to have a glorious destiny. Rom 8:29-30 says:
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Everyone born again is no longer in the camp of mediocre.
This is because you are redeemed a star
You are redeemed a king not a slave (Rev 5:10)
You are redeemed a frontliner and pacesetter not a backbencher (Matt5:14)
You are redeemed to occupy the high places of the earth and not the low places (Deut 28:1)
However, access to this glorious destiny in Christ will be contended by the believer’s sole adversary who is the devil. He always challenges God’s plan and purposes for the believers.
That’s why for every great destiny, there will be great enemies. (1Cor 16:9)
For every new level, there will be new devils and for every great position there will be great oppositions.
But the good news is that despite the great enemies arrayed against your great destiny, your Heavenly Father has already made a way of escape for you.
The bible speaking in 1 Corinthians 10:13 says:
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
God’s assurance to you is that despite the evil forces mobilized against the fulfillment of your destiny, you are more than a conqueror.
Romans 8:37
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Joseph caught a glimpse of his glorious destiny in Genesis Chapter 37 and immediately all hell broke loose against him. He passed through the pit, slavery and prison yet he didn’t despair until, suddenly and in the twinkle of an eye, he arrived at the palace. (Genesis Chapters 37- 42)
So no one who is redeemed has an excuse under heaven not to fulfill his glorious destiny in Christ. Yes, there’s no excuse tenable for the redeemed to accept a life of mediocrity. Everything you need to make it to where God wants you to be has already been deposited in you.
The challenges you are facing today are as a result of your glorious destiny which has come to stay. The devil is aware of the greatness you are about to step into so he has positioned himself for an attack on your life.
But you are too defended to be defeated. (Psalms 27:1-3)
Its time therefore, to come out of the status quo and forge ahead in life knowing that you are a victor. It’s time to start walking in the reality of your irrefutable victory over the forces holding you down.
It’s time to let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works as worked through you by your heavenly father. (Matt 5:16)
It’s time to advance into your glorious destiny in Christ
