In as much as we all have a God ordained destiny which we are meant to fulfill, we should not be ignorant of the fact that the devil is not sleeping. He also has an alternate plan for each and every one of us. As the mission of the devil is to steal, kill and destroy, he will do anything to destroy you. A very easy way the devil gets to do this is by giving you an alternate destiny. Once he can get you outside the will of God, he can do as he wills with you. The bible says, he that breaks the edge, him shall the serpent bite.
Knowing fully well that the devil is on the rampage, looking for whom to devour, it is important you guide your God-given destiny jealously. Below are some factors that can help you to in avoiding satanic alternatives.
A. Your relationship with God – Your determination to know God and more of Him will deliver you from satanic alternate program. The bible says, those that know their God shall be strong and carry out great exploit. The great exploit of your destiny cannot be carried out until you have relationship with the owner of that destiny. You must know the law of God. Deut 25:1-2. What law of God is binding you in your career, relationship e.t.c? For example any job that will not give you time for God, cannot be from God. It is satanic alternate destiny.
B. Your relationship with people – Relationship plays a crucial role in our lives and destiny. Who are your friends?
According to Daddy’s (Rev. Olusola Areogun) teachings, there are three kinds of relationship you can find yourself as far as your destiny is concerned.
- The first is the relationship that reduces you right from the time you get involved in it. It could be marriage, acquaintances e.t.c. This type of relationship takes you backward. Another name for this is destiny reductase. Reductase is an enzyme that reduces anything it acts on. The same thing happens in some relationships; they take you backward and gradually take you away from your destiny. Ask yourself; the relationship you are in now, what has it done to you? Has it reduced you physically, spiritually, financially? e.t.c
- The second category of relationship here is the relationship that does not add anything to you; neither do they intend to take anything from you. I call this destino static. In this relationship, they don’t encourage you to pursue your destiny. It could be marriage, family, and acquaintances. They tell you that being a Christian is enough. Anytime you try to do something extra for God, they will come with words like “are you the one that killed Jesus?”
When you are involved in this relationship, devil is always happy in the sense that it is very easy for him to give alternate destiny to you. Ask yourself this question; this relationship that I am in, has it added anything to me spiritually, financially, physically e.t.c?
- The third category is the relationship that every Christian should pray to have in life, the relationship with people that can take them to the next level. I call this destino catalase. This relationship will never leave you at the level they met you, rather, they will take you to the next level of your destiny. They encourage you and make sure you pursue the things of God, as pertain to your destiny. They jack you up spiritually, financially, physically e.t.c. They perceive divine call upon your life and help you to fulfill it. This at times could come through your church, mentor, friends e.t.c. What is important to them is your calling and destiny.
C. Your relationship with your destiny father/mentor: I have never seen a ship that gets to the port without a sailor. You cannot escape satanic alternate destiny without a father or mentor in your life. Your destiny father is the one that perceive your calling and destiny and groom and equip you for it. They give you sense of direction and time for your destiny and calling. You have to obey them and follow their faith, Heb 13:7.
There are 3 important things the bible wants us to do according to this passage.
· What they speak to you i.e word of God
· What to follow in their lives: their faith
· Their manner of life: imitate the outcome of their well spent life
The question now is, who is your father or mentor and what do you follow in their lives? For you to escape satanic alternate destiny, you have to answer these questions. For instance, in this ministry, we know that our Daddy and Mummy are our mentor. Have you observed and followed these 3 important things in their lives?
D. What is in your heart: What you cherish most and idolize in your heart will determine whether or not you will yield to satanic alternate destiny. For example, some people have resolved in their heart that come rain or sun, they will settle in the United States irrespective of God’s plan for their lives. These kinds of people have already exposed themselves to satanic alternate destiny. All the devil does is to give them an opening, maybe through visa lottery. The bible says I will answer you according to the idol in your heart. Therefore, it is important for you to search your heart and guide it jealously.
E. Your divine assignment: If you diligently pursue your divine assignment, you automatically become excluded from satanic appointment. As it is often said, an idle hand is the devil’s workshop. Embrace your assignment and don’t allow the devil to distract you with mockery. It may seem that your colleagues that are not destiny conscious are making it fast but always remember that the future does not belong to those doing fast but those doing it right. God will always be faithful to reward your labour of love. Do you have an assignment assigned to you directly by God or through His servant? If you think you have a direct assignment, have you cross-checked with your confirmer? No assignment, No destiny!
In conclusion, it is important to make conscious decisions to guard your heart and the relationships you have so that you do not fall prey for satan’s alternate destiny.
