*A PATHWAY TO DESTINY: SPIRITUALITY* 


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  30  December 2023*

 

 

SCRIPTURE: And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord: Genesis 19:27.


 *Your life cannot be higher than your level of devotion to God; and your destiny cannot be greater than your spirituality.*


Spirituality has been confirmed to be a major force for life and destiny. Your life cannot be higher than your level of devotion to God; and your destiny cannot be greater than your spirituality. 


In scriptures, people of solid destiny were people of solid spirituality. 


In our study today, we shall look at few examples of men of deep spirituality and impactful destiny:


1. Abraham


In Genesis 12:1-5, we saw how Abraham got connected with God, and God gave him destiny direction. Abraham was led by God on the platform of his spirituality. 


Also, in Genesis 19:27, we saw that Abraham was devoted to God. He stood before God early at the place of prayer and that prayer guaranteed his destiny. 


2. Isaac 


Isaac was one of the greatest men of his days. In Genesis 24:63, the Scripture tells us of how Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening. Meditation was a major part of his life. Isaiah 26:3 says, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.


3. Jacob 


Jacob built altars of prayer before God. He was a man of Bethel (Genesis 28:2-22).


By virtue of his spirituality, he was helped at the place of prayer and his destiny was changed. Jacob is now called Israel. Jacob became Israel at the frequency of spirituality. At the place of prayer, Jacob placed a demand on God for a turnaround of his life and destiny, and God granted it (Genesis 32:24-28).


Beloved, make up your mind to develop quality spirituality in order to have a quality destiny.


Remember Your life cannot be higher than your level of devotion to God; and your destiny cannot be greater than your spirituality.


■ Make your spirituality a topmost priority.


■ Make up your mind to pray always.


NOTE: It is a foolish thing to do, for you to spend many days in fasting and prayer, live a worship life, study the Word, etc. and all of a sudden God's power comes upon you in such a great dimension that signs and wonders follow you and devils are cast out, then you stop fasting, praying, worshipping, and studying the Word. 


REFLECTION: The strength and size of a root determines the stature and size of its tree. You cannot have an outer life that is bigger than your inner life. Determine to develop your spiritual roots. 


PRAYER: Thank You Lord for making me know the place of spirituality in destiny. I receive the grace and discipline to maintain strong and quality spirituality, Lord, in Jesus Christ  Name.
