Destiny Deflators

Part I is titled Wired for Success...

This leads us to the next part of this ministration – Destiny Deflators! Circuit Breakers! Your wiring for success may experience short circuit or outage because of destiny watchers or destiny killers. Destiny deflators or circuit breakers can interrupt the high current of your wiring for success.

Some of you are employed in places that may lead to success outage. A similar account is in Genesis 30:29-30. Here we see Jacob speaking to his employer, Laban, “And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me. For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the Lord hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?” You cannot just sit and watch. By returning to the drawing table, I was able to get my employer to give me Thursdays off in addition to closing earlier on Tuesdays so I could attend Bible Study. Jacob threatened to quit before Laban confessed that his success was rooted in the grace upon Jacob’s life. Be careful of Destiny Devaluers! When the Holy Spirit prompts you, you may have to re-nogotiate the terms of service or exit the employment for the glory of your success to see the light of day.

Let’s look at Isaiah 6:1, what happened in the year King Uzziah died? Isaiah saw the Lord. Which means that if King Uzziah did not die, the possibility of Isaiah seeing the Lord may be slim or lost. What are the things, habits, issues and even people that need to go or die (temporarily or permanently) for you to fully maximise your wiring for success? Whoever is capable of truncating or short-circuiting your destiny MUST be kept at a distance. Some of them like Uzziah may need to die, others may need to be repelled or avoided to ensure your progress towards success is hidden from them. If keeping your distance does not work, you may have to spiritually break the evil transmitter attached to your success meter!

Herod would have truncated Moses’ destiny, Pharaoh may have truncated Joseph destiny, king Darius would have short circuited Daniel’s destiny and king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, would have shortened the lives of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego if they had not remained fully plugged into God who wired them for success. It is because of negative controllers of destiny that we need biblical strategies and warfare prayers to succeed or excel in life.

The Bible say call upon me and I will (answer), ask and you will be (given), seek and you will (find), knock and the door will be (opened). There are biblical strategies without which you could remain stagnant even on the road to success. Your experience and your individual circumstance would determine how you would apply these strategies. If a lion is chasing you, you are not likely to get to the door of God’s mercy and begin to whisper, “Darling Jesus, could you open the door to my breakthrough?” Calling, asking, seeing and knocking are quite relative; your need will drive your approach!

There was a proverb in the days of old which reflects the fact that children born while on exile in Babylon continue to pay for the sins of their fathers which means, regardless of their destiny, because they were born into slavery, they were doomed for failure. Slavery was their short circuit; their destiny deflator while stagnancy was their circuit breaker. But God repealed that proverb by His grace for the benefit of his children. Jeremiah 31:29, “In those days they shall say no more: ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, And the children’s teeth are set on edge’.” Thank God for His grace!
