Taking your place in destiny – Pastor Folami Fawehinmi

There is somebody here, God says He is giving you a change of garment.

Why do we pray at all? Because prayer changes things.

The story of Dan Crawford a missionary will interest you.

He was returning to his mission field and it was necessary for him to cross a deep stream and there was no boat to use. So he and his people camped and prayed. As they prayed, a tall tree near the stream began to totter and fall. It fell right across the stream! The royal engineers of heaven had laid a bridge for God’stime servants.

Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE for our God to do.

Hear me, on this mountain, you will take delivery of your destiny by fire by force!

Examples:

– Saul – 1 Samuel 9:1-21

– Moses – Exodus 3:1-11

– David – 1 Samuel 16:1-13

– Joseph – Genesis 37:1-11

– Gideon – Judges 6:11-16

– Jephthah – Judges 11:1-11

From the examples of men who grabbed their destinies as shown above, what lessons are to be learnt?

Saul – an errand that he did not refuse, brought him to kingship.
– prayer: May God order my steps aright, to my prepared place of blessing and destiny.

Moses – upon all his disability and shortcomings as a murderer and a stutterer yet, God bypassed all to make him the best leader in history after our lord Jesus Christ.
– prayer: Bring forth my hidden ability out of my disability and let your glory fall on me to produce a champion out of me.

David – a consistent and dutiful david was brought to destiny from obscurity.
– prayer: As I consistently serve you lord, though I am not known now, but bring me to divine limelight for divine placement.

Joseph – from dreaming to destiny. Despite all the attempts to bury his destiny which God had revealed to him in a dream. He still attained destiny.
– prayer: every dream killer. Every destiny killer, assigned from the pit of hell, against my rising, be roasted by the fire of the Holy Ghost now!

Gideon – from hiding, from being a nonentity, from a notoriously poor and humble background, a man of velour emerged! That’s your story.
– prayer: Oh God, you are the one that lift up the poor, out of the dung hill of life, and position them among princes. It is my turn to experience such divine lifting.

Jephtah – he became a leader and captain of the people, though an outcast and a product of harlotry.
– prayer: Oh my father, as white pap comes out from a black pot, let me emerge from my inglorious past and background into your divine placement for me.

As we close tonight, we will pray one final prayer:
– Oh God visit my foundation with your fire and root out everything that militate against my glorious destiny.
