Romans 8:29
It's not God's will that our lives turn out tragically.
The greatest tragedy on earth is the tragedy of an unfulfilled destiny.
There is a place, a status, and a stature God intends you attain or get to before you leave the earth.
Every single human being is born into this earth to fulfill his/her destiny.
You have a unique destiny in God, a glorious destiny in God's sight that has to be manifested.
Your destiny is linked to your purpose/assignment.
Your destiny refers to where God wants you to get to in life.
Spiritually, our destiny is to grow and develop into the fullness of Christ.
Ephesians 4:13
In the physical realm you also have a destiny - a place, a position, an achievement, a status, a benefit that God wants you to get to.
Satan is the biggest and foremost enemy of your destiny.
He lost his own destiny which was to stay in the presence of God, and he doesn't want you to fulfill yours.
Ezekiel 28:14
Not fulfilling destiny is something that must be averted.
It can be averted.
Very few people can claim to have seen Satan, yet he is around acting as an obstacle on the journey to destiny.
You don't need to see Satan, he works through people.
He was the one at work through the king of Tyre.
Ezekiel 28:1-11
He was the one at work in the brothers of Joseph who made them envy and try to bring Joseph down.
He was the one at work in the Philistines and Delilah in an attempt to stop Samson.
He was the one at work in the princes of this world when Jesus was being wiped and crucified. He thought he was stopping Jesus without realizing He was helping to fulfill Jesus's prophetic destiny.
1 Corinthians 2:8
Satan was the one at work in men like King Saul and Absalom who tried to stop David.
Human beings are the primary vessels the enemy will use to try and distract, hinder, resist, fight, and intimidate you off the path of destiny.
When Jesus told his disciples all that was to befall him, Peter called him aside and rebuked Jesus.
Jesus recognized the enemy as the one motivating Peter and He rebuked the enemy.
Matthew 16:21-23
Peter's actions may have looked/seemed sincere but the inspiration behind it was from the enemy.
If Jesus wasn't able to discern, He could have been distracted or obliged to what Peter was saying.
It would have taken Him off the path of His prophetic destiny.
How do we avert life's tragedy?
1) Yield to the Spirit of God: God's Spirit will guide you into your destiny. John 16:13
2) Make the right decisions: this calls for wisdom. You need wisdom to make the best decisions for your life. Decisions can either put you on the path of destiny or take you further from your God given destiny.
Proverbs 3:5,6
3) Be careful about associations: Delilah was a wrong association in Samson's life. It was an association that cost him his eyes and caused him a tragic end.
1 Corinthians 15:33
4) Engage the enemy in word based prayers: The enemy can be defeated all the time and resisted in the place of prayer. When we pray according to God's will, God hears us.
1 John 5:14
