As we begin the month of March, I would like for you to move forward. We are in the third month of the 2018 and destiny and purpose, should be our goals. We first must know what our destiny and purpose are. What is your destiny or purpose?
If you don't, ask God. Once you know something will change in of your life.
The first thing to go is our own dreams if they don't line up with the will of God. You can't fulfil his destiny with own your desires. You will need to surrender all and that includes dreams and desires which are self-serving. He is the only one that knows the outcome of our lives, so trust him. I know that this is women's history month and I will talk about women and their faith but for this example, I will use two men.
Abram and Lot
One personal example of walking by faith in the Bible is Abraham. Before he was called Abraham, his name was Abram, and he made mistakes along the way to his destiny.
God had called Abram out from among his country, father's house and his kindred.Genesis 12:1 God needs him separated from everything that would hinder him in order for God to bless him.
Now you would think Abram would just follow God, but not so. He took Lot his nephew with him. Genesis 12:2 This was a big mistake. Abram takes Lot to a place he could not go. When God calls you to soar don't take a chicken with you.
Leave that chicken alone
Most of us will make this mistake. We will try to take a chicken to places only an eagle can go. Eagles and chicken may be from the bird family but they have two different behaviours.
When your purpose shows up, it is your purpose. Fulfil it on your own. Yes, there will be people that will come along and help but they can't do it for you. Most of us want to take a family member or a best friend along with us. The problem with is if they are a chicken you will get them killed. Look at Abram and Lot. They started out fine but bad things happened. First, the herdsmen's fought over the land they shared. Then Abram had to saved Lot for the fall of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Eagles Flock Together
As eagles, we shouldn't be in the company of chicken. Why because we will get them killed. Eagles flock together This is one trait of an eagle.
Eagles do not flock with other birds. They hang out with each other. Eagles are unique in that way. Eagles love the highest of altitudes and most birds can't handle it. Same as us. When you are in your eagle's stance everybody cannot fly with you. The only one that can fly high is other eagles, not chickens.
Eagles Love Storms
Abram did not weather his storms good but Abraham did. Abram did things that pushed he blesses further away. He took his nephew with him when God said for him to go alone. He also would get his wife Sarai to lie. Sarai was beautiful so when men in authority saw her they would desire her. He would ask her to say she was his sister.This put them in dangerous situations when God had to step in. and correct the error in judgement. As Abraham, he believes God for a child in his old age. Then when God asked him to kill his only son, he walked to the altar trusting God for a different offering.
Like eagles, we have to weather the storms of life. The eagle love to fly in the eye of the storm. They love to go higher. They allow the wind to push them higher without using their own energy. That remembers me of the scripture Isiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary, and they shall walk, and not faint.
We can fly through the storms knowing the outcome will be in our favour. Yes, the winds are blowing, hail and rain hit us in the face but we soar. Lighting and thunder all around us but we aren't fearful because we can get above the storm. My sisters, be the eagle in your purpose and destiny. Fly for only yourself. If you are a chicken right now don't worry about it. That just means there is the groundwork for you to do. If you are an eagle my sister mount up.
