For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end – Jeremiah 29: 11

From scriptures, we understand that every child of God is a child of destiny. Not just any kind of destiny, but a glorious destiny Romans 8:29&30.

Furthermore, we discover in scriptures that every encounter with God, is an encounter with destiny. For example, men like Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Gideon, Peter, Paul and many others validate this fact Hebrews 11:6-10; Genesis 22:1-18; Judges 6,7.

First, we must recognize that the destiny of every believer is locked up in the Bible and it takes a diligent search in the word to unlock it. When we discover and believe the truth regarding our inheritance, God is committed to make good His promise. Just as God said to Abraham, as far as your eyes can see, God is committed to make happen Genesis 13:14-15; Rev.3:18.

We must understand that when we discover and believe the truth regarding our inheritance, God is committed to making good His promise. Just as God said to Abraham, as far as your eyes can see, God is committed to make happen Genesis 13:14-15; Revelation 3:18.

But What Is Our Destiny Worth In Redemption?

   From scriptures, we understand that:

• We have a victorious destiny in Christ: We may be challenged, but we are not permitted to be defeated. Christ causes us to triumph in all our ways, including our places of work, homes and every of our journeys (2 Corinthians 2:14).
• We have a glorious destiny: We must understand that God has called us unto eternal glory, which means unending glory. That also connotes a shame-free destiny (1 Peter 5:10; Rom. 8:29-30).
• We have an enviable destiny: As it is written, concerning Isaac, he went forward, became strong, waxed great and the Philistines envied him. This implies that, we are to be envied and not to be pitied. Therefore, anything pitiable around us must be swallowed up in victory (Genesis 26:14; Galatians 4:28).
• We have a prosperous destiny in Christ: We are not redeemed to suffer, but we are redeemed to enjoy abundance of all things (2 Cor. 8:9; 2 Cor. 9:8-11).
• We have a destiny of fruitfulness in the covenant: As it is written; Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle Deuteronomy 7:14; Ps 89:34; Matthew 5:17.
• We have a destiny of health and vitality in the covenant: Serving God qualifies us for health and vitality (Exodus 23:25). None of our covenant fathers were ever recorded sick; instead, they enjoyed health and vitality all through their lives.

Longevity is our portion in the covenant: Long life is part of our covenant rights in redemption (Psalm 91:16). All our covenant fathers enjoyed long life. These include Abraham, Isaac, Moses, Joshua, etc (Isaiah 51:1-3; Genesis 25:7; Genesis 35:27-28; Genesis 47:28; Deuteronomy 37:7; Joshua 24:29).

How, Then Do We Encounter Destiny? 

The Following, among others, are some of the ways we can encounter destiny:

1. Through the Bible – The Living Word of God: God’s Word is the mirror of life where we discover who we are, what we have and what we can do. Every believer has a free access to the Word, from where we have encounter with destiny.
2. Through anointed books: Anointed books are not only designed to enlighten us, but they are also channels through which we encounter destiny (Hosea 12:10).

What are the Benefits of Encounters with the Word?

• Encounter with the Word connects us with destiny, our inheritance. For example, Jacob had a glorious destiny through an encounter with God (Isaiah 9:8).
• Encounter with the Word preserves our destiny, as in the case of Joseph.                    (Psalm 105:17-22).
• It dignifies destiny, as it was with Samuel, who had series of encounters with the Word and emerged an honourable man of God(1 Sam. 3:21, 1 Samuel 9:6).
• It advances destiny. Diverse encounters with the Word enlarged the destinies of Abraham and Moses (Gen. 12:1-3; Gen. 22:17-18; 1Samuel 12:6)

COMMUNION is a Christian sacrament in which consecrated bread and wine are consumed as memorials of Christ’s death or as symbols for the realization of a spiritual union between Christ and communicant or as the body and blood of Christ.

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. (Jn 6:53-58 kjv)

The HOLY COMMUNION is a New Testament covenant mystery that gurantees a sound body and flourishing health. Jesus first introduced this meal in Mark 14:22-24.

Furthermore in John 6:55, he told the people, “For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.” In other words, “I am giving you the highest form of nutrients you will ever need for sound health and vitality.” He further described the value of this spiritual meal.

The meal releases strength, health and longevity, if taken with the correct spiritual perspective. The communion (the flesh and the blood of Jesus) is one of the mysteries of God designed to actualize the flow of eternal life (Zoe) that is immune to all forms of sickness and diseases into our mortal bodies.

The Flesh:

Jesus gave details of the nutritional value of his flesh when He told His disciples in John 6:50-51.

This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof , and not die.

I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

The Blood:

Everyone’s state of wellbeing is traceable to the content of his/her blood. No wonder the Bible says in Leveticus 17:11:

The life of the flesh is in the blood.

This is why Jesus introduced the mystery of the Holy Communion to give us mastery over all challenges. The blood of Jesus Christ can be likened to the spiritual soldiers in our physical body. It launches divine attacks on any satanic manifestations in our system.

When Jesus gave the disciples His blood, He said to them, “This is My blood. As often as you take it, you are doing it in remembrance of Me – you will start living like Me, and whatever could not floor Me will never be found in you or be able to bring you down. Whatever could not resist Me will not be able to resist you” (Luke 22:119-20, 1Cor. 11: 25, paraphrased).
