When I started attending the meetings of VPWM, I was not very committed
and I wasted a lot of time before God called me to order.
Since then, He’s taught me a couple of destiny defining principles
which I share here.
1. Be
yourself, especially in the Presence/House of God.
In the presence of
God, there is Liberty. [1Cor 3: 17] You can be yourself without excuses.
Remember, they were
NAKED AND NOT ASHAMED. [Gen 2:25; emphasis mine]
2. Praise
looks good on you.
Whenever you are opportune
to be where God is being praised, ensure you do it with all your might because
He inhabits the praises of His people. [Ps 22:3 KJV]
God loves it when
we praise Him and we touch His garment when we do.
3. Look
unto God and not unto man.
When you are
privileged to be part of a community of believers, seek the face and presence
of God therein and not the approval of man.
Don’t get involved
in the talk-talk or gossip that leads to offence. Rather, keep yourself, your
heart and mind open to receive from God.
Expect to meet with
God every time…and you will!
4. See
and respect the anointing even if you don’t like the person or you know their
weaknesses/past.
Do not allow
familiarity with a person blind you to the anointing.
You may know the
man or woman of God from way back but once there is an anointing on them, they
are no longer who you used to know.
While saying “Is
Saul also among the prophets?”, you may just miss your prophetic blessing.
[1Sam 10:9-11 (AMP)]
God is still using
the seemingly foolish things of this world to confound the wise.
5. God
is present in every congregation where His name is called.
When you enter any
gathering of believers, be sensitive to God’s presence because He is there in
every little thing. He’s speaking from the Ushers, Praise & Worship,
Testimonies, Message, benediction and The Grace.
He is speaking
throughout but only the one listening will hear Him. [Ex 20:24b (NKJV)]
6. Friends
can become your distraction.
Once you get into
the assembly of believers, be on your own.
Don’t allow
yourself to be distracted by those close to you.
Learn to determine
your level of friendships by how the person helps you stay on the path of
destiny.
Your friend can
make or mar your destiny, choose wisely. [Prov 13:20, Prov 27:17]
7. See
people through God’s eyes.
God does not judge
or bless the way we do.
What we use to
determine who gets promoted is not what God uses and until we begin to see
through God’s eyes, we will end up displeasing God with our actions, inactions,
speech and thoughts.
The Lord does not
see as we see. [1Sam 16:7b]
You may think you
know a person’s pedigree but you do not know their “spiritgree” nor the level
of their SQ (Spiritual Quotient) or DQ (Destiny Quotient). [1Sam 9:21; 10:1]
My goodness! This is awesome! 7 Things Indeed! You don't need the whole world you only need your own. Everything said on the platform might not have sank but certainly this 7 you got and haven gotten it right, will do the wonders God brought you into the ministry to experience. Am so glad, am so pleased.....For such discoveries like YOU that I make on my destiny journey, am always fired up to keep at it (whether it seems popular or not), to go the extra mile till I hit the mark......For such moments as this all the midnight oil burnt, the labour and every sacrifice becomes sweet water hence I will drink over and over again for more people to discover their own 3, 4,7, 10, 12, 21 etc Tnings that has or will shape their lives as a result of passing through or tabernacling under the canopy of God in VICTORIOUS PRAYING WOMEN MINISTRY.
