Four Destiny Questions You Should Ask Before Falling In Love
Life is a journey of destination that only God knows and understands its beginning and ending (Jeremiah 1:5). This is why you shouldn’t take your purpose discovery lightly; it is a determinant of the answers to your existence.
There’s a primary assignment that is committed to every individual on earth and that assignment is greater than the purpose that life offers after your arrival on earth (Ephesians 2:10).
Here are four destiny questions you should ask yourself:
1. Who am I?
The discovery of YOU is the awareness of what God has embedded into you. I want you to understand that everyone has a reason for being here. That reason is to propagate God and His work. So, take a deep breath and ask yourself, who am I? (1 John 3:1)
2. Why am I here?
Your existence on earth is never a mistake and if you’re an afterthought child, you’re still not a mistake because there’s a greater reason why you’re here; to compliment and fill up the space God has created for you. (Isaiah 43:21)
3. What is my purpose?
The moment a man gets to a stage in life and that big question pops up, the depth of your existence is about to be revealed. Purpose is the real intent of your creation and this can only be found in God. God is the revealer of our assignment on earth, so cling to Him and He will direct your paths (Jeremiah 29:11)
4. Where am I going from here?
There’s something we call CLARITY in the journey of life. This clarity doesn’t uncover all the details you need to finish the journey but it will give you a heads-up to start. In other words, whatever God has shown you is enough to start, clarity unfolds as you progress in the journey. (Deuteronomy 31:8)
How do I navigate through the journey of discovering ME?
1. Build a personal relationship with God
2. Read the word of God daily and meditate on it
3. Pray always and develop your spirit man.
4. Have a mentor or a spiritual parent to guide you on the journey
5. Stay committed to doing the will of God in every area of your life.
This year is such a strategic and special year! It is a year in which the enemy of your soul will want to fight your joy so much, and yet it is that year in which you must protect your joy so much!
God promises that your days of mourning are over. However, you must now make an effort to comply with that scripture.
Let’s look at the scriptures.
Isa 60:20 (KJV) Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
Your days of mourning are over!
Mourning, as the scripture refers to it, encompasses broken relationships and the accompanying hurt and agony.
Unhappiness in relationships and sadness within a marriage, stemming from incessant quarrels and squabbles, are also part of this process.
Let’s take a look at The Message Translation.
Isa 60:20 (MSG) Your sun will never go down, your moon will never fade. I will be your eternal light. Your days of grieving are over.
I adore that phrase. Your days of mourning are behind you!
On your part, you’re now cooperating with the scripture by refusing depression and despondency in your life with every fiber of your being!
You must consciously cultivate the spirit of joy and prevent anything from trying to steal it from you!
This year is so pivotal that you can’t let anything dampen your joy!
You have a responsibility to safeguard that joy and keep it safe!
Why would you go to such lengths?
It’s your strength!
The joy of the Lord is your strength! Protect your place of strength and ensure its safety. This guarantees constant and unwavering victory in life and all other aspects of your existence!
The days of mourning are over!
If anything is causing grief at this moment, God Himself will intervene in Jesus’ name!
Every strong building starts with a solid foundation. The taller the building, the deeper the foundation must go. In the same way, everything in life—whether good or bad—has a foundation, including infidelity.
Nobody wakes up one day and suddenly decides infidelity is the way to go. It always starts somewhere.
The devil is strategic in his approach. He doesn’t attack randomly, which is why he often seems so precise in his efforts. All he needs is a crack—a small loophole. Once he finds it, he’s ready to act.
One of the key cracks he exploits is insincerity. Let’s be clear: even a slight deviation from the truth is still falsehood. A lie is a lie. The Bible doesn’t recognize “white lies.”
Proverbs 6:16-19 (GW) There are six things that the LORD hates, even seven that are disgusting to him: arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill innocent people, a mind devising wicked plans, feet that are quick to do wrong, a dishonest witness spitting out lies, and a person who spreads conflict among relatives.
Most of us have lied at some point in our lives, but that doesn’t necessarily make us vulnerable to the devil. The scripture above speaks about those who make lying a habit, even when there’s nothing to gain.
If you’re already in the habit of lying, even as a single person, you’re setting yourself up for infidelity in marriage. Why? Because the same heart that lies now will be the same heart you take into your relationship, except you allow Jesus to do a heart surgery for you.
This is dangerous because the Bible clearly shows us who the devil is:
John 8:44 (GW) You come from your father, the devil, and you desire to do what your father wants you to do. The devil was a murderer from the beginning. He has never been truthful. He doesn’t know what the truth is. Whenever he tells a lie, he’s doing what comes naturally to him. He’s a liar and the father of lies.
Let’s analyze it this way: if you have a close relationship with your biological father, he might visit you occasionally. But if the devil is your “father,” he won’t just visit—he’ll move in and make himself at home in your life.
So how do you break free from this terrible habit?
Ephesians 4:25 (GW) Get rid of lies. Speak the truth to each other, because we are all members of the same body.
Treat lies like garbage. How do you treat garbage? Exactly. You dispose of them completely. Speak the truth in every situation. It will save you from unnecessary pain and conflict in the long run.
Does God celebrate because of us? Yes, I think He does.
You mean God will sing, dance, and rejoice over us? Yes, I think so. Why would I say that? Because His word says so!
Let’s dive!
Zep 3:17 (CEV) The LORD your God wins victory after victory and is always with you. He celebrates and sings because of you, and he will refresh your life with his love.
Wow! This will be exciting!
This is exciting because when this happens, I won’t have to pray for anything anymore! All I need to do is praise God because He will keep answering my prayers and doing a lot for me in accordance with His purpose for my life because He is thrilled about me!
Here is another scripture because every truth is established in the presence of two or more scriptures.
Psa 149:4 (CEV) The LORD is pleased with his people, and he gives victory to those who are humble.
The Lord can be pleased with His people! Isn’t that amazing?
If the Lord can be pleased, it means He can also be displeased!
So, what are those things that can displease God?
Pro 11:20 (MSG) GOD can’t stand deceivers, but oh how he relishes integrity.
Isn’t that clear enough?
Are there any other things that He dislikes? I need to know those so that I can avoid them.
Pro 6:16-19 (GW) There are six things that the LORD hates, even seven that are disgusting to him: [17] arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill innocent people, [18] a mind devising wicked plans, feet that are quick to do wrong, [19] a dishonest witness spitting out lies, and a person who spreads conflict among relatives.
So, we now know what displeases Him.
But what pleases Him? What will cause Him to rejoice over me? I need to know!
Jhn 15:8 (KJV) Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
Wow! That’s what excites God! Bearing fruit, reaching out to lives, discipling others, influencing those in your sphere of influence, and sharing the message of Jesus with people, helping them establish their faith.
So, make up your mind to start doing the exact things that make God happy and completely avoid the things that displease Him!
This is a powerful revelation I got from a man of God and I would love to share it with you.
The Bible refers to the devil as a roaring lion. Actually, the devil is a toothless, powerless lion who just scares its ignorant victims by roaring at them.
1 Peter 5:8 [KJV] Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
However, the Bible tells us that this roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour. That means he can’t devour everybody. He has to seek the type of people he may devour.
Now lions don’t eat fruits, they only eat flesh. Flesh will attract the lion anytime.
The Bible talks about the works of the flesh.
In Gal 5:19-21 we read the works of the flesh
Galatians 5:19-21 [KJV] Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
That means if we still have the works of the flesh in us, we will attract the devil, and then he may seek to devour us.
In 2025, we must eliminate the works of the flesh from our dealings in our marriages, and every aspect of our lives.
The fruits that the Holy Spirit within us grows are recorded in Galatians 5
Galatians 5:22-24 [KJV] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Let our goal this year be to develop the fruits of the spirit more. Just like Jesus, when he was on earth, the devil could not find any works of the flesh in Him. He lived in total victory.
Do you want to experience total Victory in your life? Then, focus more on developing the fruits of the Spirit because lions (the devil) don’t eat fruits.
