Our glorious destinies begin with the discovery of divine plans. Jeremiah 29:11(RSV) Says: "(for I Know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for welfare and not evil, to give you a future and a hope)". In the other words, God is saying" I have defined your end, come and locate it. I have defined where you belong;come and find it".
HOW DO WE DISCOVER DIVINE PLANS FOR OUR LIVES?
There are three ways to discover where we belong.
I. Through a Heavenly Vision: By a Heavenly Vision, I mean God speaking to us directly. Prophet Habakkuk showed us how to receive a Heavenly Vision when he said: "I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the LORD answered me, and say, write the vision and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision I s yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come, it will not tarry. "
David had no vision whatsoever, however, he could not stand the assault of Goliath against the army of the lord. With passion, he went after Goliath and by the death of Goliath, the throne to him ( 1samuel17:23-51).II. BY RECOGNISING THE BURNING PASSION WITHIN US: In the context , passion means what turns us on l. One of my friends, #udang once said, "Your passion in most cases is a pointer to the problem you have created to solve."
III. THROUGH OUR INNATE TALENTS: "A man's gift maketh way for him, and bringeth him before great men" proverbs 18:16. In this parable, we see how Jesus gave talents to each of his servants and told them to do business with them until his return. That means there are certain divine investments in us that are capable of engaging is productively and maximally until Jesus returns.
Therefore, without a vision from heaven, a burning passion, or identifying the gifts of God in us, we may never know where we belong. However, it is not enough to know where we belong; we must endeavor to put our best into it in order to actualize God's plan for our lives. No matter where we belong, it is expedient that our we invest in it, because that is what we shall determine our ultimate rating in life.
