There is an assurance of becoming the future you can see if you choose to align your choices with the will of God.
From the previous edition, (Part1). I explained how our choices influence our destinies. If you are yet to read part 1 of this article, please ensure you do.
This edition is focused on the priority placed on prayer and the study of the word in the actualization of destiny. Praying and the study of God's word is what gives every child of God the visual display of our title deed in christ which can also be referred to as "our destiny in Christ" it is impossible to become what you have not seen. (ability to perceive in the mind through the eyes of the spirit) This is what Apostle Paul was referring to when he said to the people in Corinth in "2 Corinthians 3:18 (KJV) But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." your life consists in Jesus, in him is your destiny, you no longer operate in the old destiny you use to live in, the destiny you inherited from your parents. You now have a new life and life policy which leads to God's destiny for you."Deuteronomy 8:1 (KJV) All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers." you only have one way to the destiny prepared for you by God. That way is Christ Jesus. If you have not received him yet as your Lord and Saviour, you have not received the way to your destiny and you can't get there, Receive him now and you are on your way to God's prepared destiny for you. "John 14:6 (KJV) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." But if you have received Jesus already, congratulations to you.
Also, I will like to let you know that salvation is the beginning of your journey into destiny, it's not a destination. After you have received the new life of Christ, you need to take a step further into knowing him, it is in this you access his mind and begin to live in the reality of this new life, it is this knowledge that guilds you into the abundance of life he has prepared for you. "2 Peter 1:3 (KJV) According to as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue". It is of no advantage to know so much about God by information but not know him in person by relationship. When there's no relationship, there is no true worship, and there would be a lot of working for God, religious activities and moral display, but without walking with and knowing him. One of the ways of confirming that is, when Christians are denying the power of God which enables every child of God to live a distinct life that reflects the person of Christ in every position, despite their services to God and passion, they still follow their old path. "Romans 10:2 (KJV) For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge." you can also read Titus1:16.
When there is a cordial relationship with God, you constantly behold the beauty of His holiness and you become transformed into his very nature. Here is where you received the knowledge of a right life, you receive his righteousness, this is your destiny in Christ Jesus. Not only that, you receive the strength to live by that knowledge you receive.
Not placing priority on our prayer and study life makes our services as Christians fruitless, and our journey becomes frustrated and miserable because of your ignorance of your position in Christ. Ignorance is the only access the devil has into your life as a child of God. If you fail to exercise your right as a child the devil will come and steal the true destiny you have away and present his counterfeit. The devil's counterfeits come in two forms. Some appear so attractive and some are frustrating. These two categories have the same destination, which is, death! "Proverbs 14:12 (KJV) There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." I pray you won't fall into the devil's deception scheme in Jesus' name.
To have a personal relationship with God which is the basic way of accessing his mind and actualizing his Plans for you. Your prayer life and your constant study of God's Word are very crucial. This is also called "quiet time". I called this place "the school of making". This is a place destinies are designed, it's the secret place of the highest the Psalmist was referring to in psalm91. It's a place of instructions and directions, a place of revelation, a secret place where we behold his face and become transformed into his very nature.
Also, in this place, we must ensure we strike balance between our study of the scripture and prayers because they are both dependent. "A life full of the knowledge of the word but without prayer is like a car without tyres and vice versa. In the place of prayer, images that are captured in the place of study ignite desires which are impressed on your heart and influence you to pray the mind of God into manifestation, prompted by definite actions (faith).
God delights in your relationship with him above any other thing. Get the picture of the destiny you have in Christ, Pray without season, study without limit, pray in understanding, pray in the spirit, keep believing, don't stop moving, never be discouraged, keep pressing in, don't stop doing good, look away from your present circumstances, look at Jesus, confess the word, act the word and lay hold on your bright destiny. "To have on earth what is prepared for you in heaven, there must be interactions with heaven." Your destiny in Christ Jesus will not be forfeited in Jesus' name.

Sometimes,grinning on the word for 30minutes can be difficult to do and rarely sometimes to pray too especially with the ups and downs around. Knowing fully well u crave for a relationship with us, and u wishing we could do the same.
