IF YOU DESIRE TO DISCOVER AND FULFILL YOUR DIVINE DESTINY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD, YOU KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOU DETERMINE YOUR FATE IN THIS WORLD BY FAITH!
Many genuine Christians believes only GOD determines their FATE (pain or gain in Christ) in this World, but that is not completely true. The truth is that each and every true Child of God in Christ in this World also determines his or her FATE (pain or gain in Christ) in this World by his or her level of FAITH in God par time par his or her situation in this World. True!
This why the Bible reveals to us thus:
But without FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE Him: for he that COMES to GOD must BELIEVE that He is, and that He is a REWARDER of them that diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6).
Also,
That you be not slothful, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE inherit the promises. (Hebrews 6:12).
This means that apart from God determining your FATE (pain or gain in Christ) in this World:
1. You also determine your FATE (pain or gain in Christ) in the World by your FAITH in the WORD of GOD in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:1-3; Psalm 19:7-14).
2. You also determine your FATE (pain or gain in Christ) in the World by your FAITH in the WILL of GOD in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (Romans 12:1,2; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
3. You also determine your FATE (pain or gain in Christ) in the World by your FAITH in the WAY of GOD in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (Isaiah 55:6-12; Isaiah 1:19,20; Romans 8:14).
This is why Apostle Paul counselled us thus:
Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION with FEAR and TREMBLING. For it is GOD which works in you both to WILL and to DO of His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:12,13).
GOD will mercifully and graciously send you His Word, Will and Way in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World, but you will have to determine your FATE (pain or gain Christ) by either having a strong FAITH, weak FAITH or no FAITH at all on His Word, Will or Way revealed to you by the CHOICE you will make and DECISION you will take at such time. True! Take note, take heed! (Deuteronomy 30:19,20; Isaiah 1:19,20; Hebrews 5:12-14).
Therefore, don't be deceived because:
1. If you have STRONG FAITH in the Word, Will and Way of God you have learnt, received, heard or seen par time par your situation and DO as instructed you, you will certainly get God's expected RESULT in Christ for you in due time by your STRONG FAITH, therefore determining your FATE (gain in Christ) at such time. True! Take note, take heed! (James 1:22-25; 1 John 5:14,15).
2. If you have WEAK FAITH in the Word, Will and Way of God you have learnt, received, heard or seen par time par your situation and DO NOT as instructed you, you will certainly NOT get God's expected RESULT in Christ for you in due time by your WEAK FAITH, therefore determining your FATE (no gain in Christ) at such time. True! Take note, take heed! (Matthew 13:18:23).
3. If you have a NO FAITH in the Word, Will and Way of God you have learnt, received, heard or seen par time par your situation and DO NOT as instructed you, you will certainly NOT get God's expected RESULT in Christ for you in due time by your NO FAITH, therefore determining your FATE (pain in Christ) at such time. True! Take note, take heed! (James 1:2-8).
The Bible confirms this truth to us thus:
(As it is written, I have made you a father of many nations,) before Him whom he believed, even God, who quickens the dead, and calls those things which be not as though they were. Who against HOPE believes in HOPE, that he might BECOME the father of many nations; according to that which was SPOKEN, so shall thy seed be. And being NOT WEAK in FAITH, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: He STAGGERED NOT at the PROMISE of GOD through UNBELIEF; but was STRONG in FAITH, giving glory to God; And being FULLY persuaded that, what He had promised, He was ABLE also to PERFORM. And therefore it was IMPUTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. Now it was NOT written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; But FOR US ALSO, to whom it shall be imputed, if we BELIEVE on Him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. (Hebrews 4:17-25; 1 Thessalonians 5:24).
From the above scriptural passage, you can see clearly, Abraham determine His FATE in this World by having strong FAITH in the Word of God He has heard and received from God. True!
Again, you will notice that at the end of the scriptural passage above, the Bible reveals to us that this thing was written not for Abraham's sake alone, but also for our sake, so that we can LEARN from him and from it that we also do determine our FATE (pain or gain in Christ) in this World by having either strong, weak or no FAITH in the Word of God that we have learnt, received, heard or seen par time par our situation in this World. True!
Take note, take heed because this is truth as regarding walking and working with God in Christ in this World. True! And I guess you now KNOW and UNDERSTAND that you have a CRITICAL ROLE to play in order to live a victorious, successful and satisfactory life in Christ God's way in this World. I guess so!
Let me leave you with this, that whenever and wherever you show strong FAITH long enough in God's Word, Will and Way in Christ for you as revealed to you, there will always BE A WAY for you in due time, no matter what because God is too ABLE and FAITHFUL to fail you in Christ in this World and with Him (God) ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE. True! Take note, take heed! (1 Peter 5:6-10; 1 Thessalonians 5:24; Hebrews 11; Mark 10:27).
God bless you.
