YOUR FRIENDS AND DESTINY

I will briefly share with you this timeless truth relating your destiny to the company or friends you keep at every given time or period. Many of us are guilty of misinterpreting the essence or purpose of people around us whether related to us directly or indirectly per time. Everyone around you matters to the fulfilment of God’s purpose for our lives and that is why God put them there.

Let me say very profoundly that everyone is presently in your life or that have ever been are there because God put them there to help you directly or indirectly fulfil His purpose for your life. Unfortunate, some of us go around still bitter about a wrong or the other done to them by a friend or relative in the past. We just find it difficult to forget because we haven’t forgiven them genuinely. This as indirectly hindered many from making noticeable progress unknowingly. Sure, many in the body of Christ are stock here and that list might just include you.

Hence, we can deduce that many don’t have their petitions or prayers granted because they carry bitterness against their friend for wrongs done to them. Interestingly, you could have innocently offended, no doubt. Jesus never sinned but died for the sin of His killers. Jesus admonishes in Matthew 5:23-24 that;

“...if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there remember that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift”

God is saying to somebody now “no more moving in circles, it is time to make progress”. Forgive and let go for your own sake. You see, you do yourself more hurt than you do the one against whom you hold an offensive. Take the necessary steps and move on. I am a testimony to what I am sharing with you now, I approach anyone who I feel as offended and express myself though, my voice could be moderately high but after expressing my mind, I am back on board with you again. So just let go. Place a call to that person you’ve vowed never to call again, by doing this you will be giving glory to God in your life and shaming the devil.

Finally, let me use Judas Iscariot as a case round up my claims on friends in relation to destiny. Judas was chosen just like every other disciple; he was destined to be one of the church’s pillars but he got carried away by the wave of monetary gain as he approached destiny. He was Jesus’ disciple with whom He did things in common as well as with others. In my own opinion, I feel the devil had his eyes more on Peter than he did on Judas because Jesus confirmed it saying;

“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren” Luke 22:31-32

But you might want to ask, didn’t Jesus pray for Judas as well? Or was He showing any form of partiality? Not at all, Jesus understood that there is a relationship between the friends/disciples around Him and the fulfilment of His purpose. That is exactly what I am passing into your spirit through the Holy Spirit. It must become a part of you, you must carry this reality in both you consciousness and sub-conscious.

Conclusively, Jesus could have fulfilled His purpose without Peter, James or John but definitely not without Judas. On this wise, it is important that I let you know that you are also fulfilling a purpose in the lives of those you are related to directly or indirectly but the big question is, are you fulfilling a negative or positive purpose? For this one, the choice is yours. You can choose not to fulfil a purpose to the detriment of your eternal life. God bless you.
