#EaglesDevotional - THIS PURPOSE

“...For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil”        1 John 3:8

The purpose why God brought you to this world is called your destiny. You were created for a particular purpose.

Obedience will unlock your destiny but disobedience will shut you out from fulfilling your destiny. Even Jesus had a destiny but it was as a result of obedience, He fulfilled his destiny. In 1 John 3:8, “...For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

As Jesus prayed in the garden if Gethsemane, the bible says the sweat from his body was as blood. The destiny of Christ hung in a balance to be or not to be. It was to be determined either by His obedience or disobedience.

Jesus had a choice either to accept what life was offering him or to accept his destiny. what life was offering him at the garden looked better but at the end it would have destroyed him. Thank God, he made the right choice.

Many have missed their destiny by disobedience. There may be things you have done that you ought not to have done, you heard that still small voice try to stop you, you didn’t listen and you did it. That was where you twisted your destiny. They may be things God told you to do in time past and you didn’t do and it twisted your life, turned your life around. Some persons have joined themselves to dangerous people, some have entered agreements, business deals that have twisted your life.

There are some persons whose destiny is still hanging on the balance. Be careful that you may not miss it. If you have missed your destiny by what you did or what you did not do, God is saying to you today, that you will have another chance.

Samson got another chance after he lost it as a result of disobedience. Naomi got another chance after she left Bethlehem in search of bread and went into a strange land where she lost her whole family. God gave her another chance, she went back to Bethlehem. The place she left now had the solution.

As you read this devotional today, God is opening another chance for you to get it right.
May you not make mistake in your life that will make you bite your finger for the rest of your life. There are expensive mistakes you have made that almost ruined you, it is affecting your destiny. God wants to give you a second chance. Just own up to him today, surrender your all to him today, ask Him to have mercy and give you another chance. Man cannot give you a destiny. Only God gives destinies. Your destiny is not earthly, it’s heavenly.
Saul got a second chance but he lost it again.

Prayer/Confession: O Lord, please forgive me for the mistake I made in the past that is affecting my destiny. Forgive my disobedience and give me a second chance.
O Lord, forgive the mistakes of my father, mother, ancestors that my destiny will not be cut off in the name of Jesus.
