But do not be upset. Do not be angry with yourselves because you sold me like that. No! It was God who sent me here! He sent me here before you came. He did that so that I could save people’s lives.
Genesis 45:5 EASY
In life, the road to fulfilling your God-ordained destiny is rarely a smooth one. It’s more like a journey with bumps and turns rather than a red-carpet walk. Consider the story of Noah. He built an enormous ark, but when it came time to step in, only eight people believed in his message and joined him. The rest mocked and despised him. But Noah, a man of destiny, didn’t waver.
Noah, described as “a man who told people about living right” (2 Peter 2:5b ERV), preached righteousness even when others didn’t believe. His faithfulness saved his family from the flood, and through them, the world found new life. Despite opposition, he didn’t compromise on his mission.
Joseph, another bearer of a divine destiny, faced treacherous circumstances. His brothers intended to kill him, but God’s plan was unshakable. Although Reuben desired to create an opportunity for his rescue, he suggested throwing Joseph into a pit. However, they ended up selling him into slavery. This teaches us that human actions or even the powers of hell cannot thwart God’s purposes. If one vessel resists God’s use, He’ll raise another to fulfil His plan.
God sometimes takes us to our destinies against our will. Joseph, while in the pit, probably longed to return to his father. But God, in His wisdom, sent Joseph ahead to Egypt. It was a preparation for a time when his family’s survival during a severe famine would depend on him.
The lesson here is clear: no hindrance should prevent you from fulfilling God’s purpose for your life. Trust in the Lord during tough times. He’s working on your behalf, ensuring that your manifestation will not be cut short.
In all circumstances, remember that God’s plan is unstoppable, and His hand is guiding you toward your destiny, no matter the path.
