Your Destiny Is Greater Than Your Disaster
Contributed by Apostle Bobby Hogan on Sep 21, 2011 (message contributor)
Summary: What is in you is greater than anything that has happened to you, you can recover from any disaster because your destiny is greater..
If David hadn’t been destined to be king, he wouldn’t have had to run from Saul for thirteen years. If Joseph hadn’t had the promise of the palace he would have never had to go into the pit and then into prison. If Israel had not been on her way to a wealthy place, she would not have had to go through the fire and through the flood.
“Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.” Psalms 66:12
Before Israel entered into the wealthy place (a place of abundance and overflow) she first went through the fire and the flood. But just as the fire and the water could not stop Israel; the trial, the affliction, or the setback that you are experiencing cannot stop you. God brought Israel out of Egypt, Joseph out of the pit, Daniel out of the lion’s den, the three Hebrew children out of the fire, and He will bring you out of whatever you are in!
YOUR DESTINY IS GREATER
THAN YOUR DISASTER!
Everything God has promised you shall come to pass!
“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”
He is more than able to fulfill His promises. God’s Word will not return void. God will perform His word!
“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
“…for I will hasten my word to perform it.”
Your future is better than your past. Satan knows if he can keep you in your past that you will never move into your future. That’s why satan is spending so much time talking about yesterday. Did you ever notice satan doesn’t talk about your tomorrow? God is the One who discusses your tomorrow not the devil.
Don’t build your future around your past. Focus on your tomorrow and not your yesterday. Talk about your future and not your past. Don’t dwell on where you were yesterday; dwell on where you are today, and where you are about to go. It’s your future, your destiny, that satan
wants to keep you from entering into.
Everything you are going through - the battles, the afflictions, the tests, the setbacks, the strange trials, and abnormal hindrances that you are experiencing-everything you are going through is the enemy trying to keep you from your destiny.
Satan wants you to lose focus. He wants you to become discouraged and give up on ever reaching your potential. Don’t get your eyes off of the prize! Quit looking at what you are going through and begin to look at what you are going to! Don’t think on what you are experiencing but think about what you are expecting!
YOUR DESTINY IS GREATER
THAN YOUR DISASTER!
Satan’s greatest fear is your tomorrow. Satan does not want you to become who God said you would become. He doesn’t want you to go where God said you would go or have what God said you would have. The attack is on your future!
