The pains of giving birth your destiny

4 min read


Your obedience to GOD in cooperating with His plan and your ability to push like a woman in labor to give birth to your destiny also determine the fulfillment of so many destinies that are connected to yours without you even realizing it.

Shaping your destiny: Wow! What an unusual topic at first glance.

How can we talk about shaping your destiny?

Before we begin, let's try to define destiny in simple terms. Destiny is the set of plans that GOD has for you and your life, and it encompasses every aspect of your life in minute detail: your career, the people you meet, your spouse, your life journey, and more broadly, your life mission (your calling).

Destiny therefore implies a notion of collaboration with GOD's will on our part, unlike fate, which is something more fatalistic, that is, something we undergo without any real means of intervening in events.

Why talk about giving birth to your destiny?

Although GOD's plans for you are positive, pleasant, rewarding, plans for happiness and not for harm, as presented in Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV)

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end"

The need for your cooperation will be much greater than you think.

We tend to think that because of GOD's naturally good and loving nature, things will happen to us automatically without any intervention on our part because HE has decided so in His plan, and likewise when something negative happens to us, we tend to think that GOD wanted it that way. This is not always the case.

GOD created the world in His perfection before placing Man there to reign over it. However, Lucifer's (the devil's) defiance of the Creator of the Universe led to his expulsion from Heaven and his fall to Earth.

From then on, I am tempted to say, if you will allow me to use a bit of hyperbole, that Lucifer reigns over Earth in the sense that Earth has become his playground, where he spreads terror as he pleases while awaiting the execution of his final sentence: his confinement to hell with all his cohorts...

All of this leads us to an obvious conclusion: your destiny, however beautiful and grandiose it may be, will be fought against, dear friend.

There is an entity that absolutely does not want you to experience happiness and GOD's plans for your life.

The consequence of all this is that you will have, we will all have, each in our own way, battles of destiny to fight and win in order to regain possession of our blessings.

Yes, whether we like it or not, unfortunately certain challenges will arise in our path with the aim of discouraging us, pushing us to question our faith and, if possible, even abandon it, ultimately depriving us of the manifestation of the blessings that were reserved for us or pushing us to compromise in order to experience a pseudo-happiness.

I refer to it as pseudo-happiness because: “What good will it do a man to gain the whole world if he loses his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?” (See Matthew 16:26).

I just wanted to encourage you today to persevere because your GOD has not lied to you. He has never lied before, and He will not start with you.

Even Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD, had to die on the cross for you, for me, and suffer all the atrocities associated with the fulfillment of His destiny, but not only that. It was also for the fulfillment of your destiny and mine.

Let's look at this in Matthew 27:27-31

27 "Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers."

28 "And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe."

29 "And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!"

30 "And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head."

31 "And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him."

I don't want to scare you or put pressure on you, but your obedience to GOD to collaborate with His plan and your ability to push like a pregnant woman in labor to give birth to your destiny also determine the fulfillment of so many destinies that are connected to yours without you even suspecting it.

So, my brother, my sister, let's accept to pay the price without comparing ourselves to others, because your path is unique, your destiny is unique!

Be brave,

We're in this together!
