DEVOTIONAL:

DESTINIES CAN CHANGE

Anchor passage: Hebrews 3:15-19

         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. Gid had to change His plan for eternal priestly succession which he had earlier promised Eli and his household. Ponder on what God said to Eli in 1 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 forever: 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 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 that 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 pronised land, where the same ones God now said He would take into that Land. May God never change His goodplans concerning our nation in Jesus name. Unbelief is a terrible thing!. Everytime 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 has made to you. Unbelief is a slap on God's face. People who are not yet saved are referred to as unbelievers. 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.
