“Everybody Can’t Go Where God Has Destined You to Go”

Ephesians 1:11-14

Destined is defined as bound for a certain destination; ordained; intended; directed; that will be. 

The greatest revelations you will ever receive is to know who to partner with in life, wrong people can destroy you, the right people can accelerate you.

We must embrace our mind blowing, God given destiny by meditating on His promises, wisdom and encouragement. Elijah and Elisha had a unique relationship. Elisha saw something in Elijah that he desired. He saw and respected the anointing upon Elijahs life. Elisha saw something in Elijah that he desired and was determined to stay in a relationship with him regardless of the cost. When Elijah told Elisha to stay in Bethel he refused. When he was told to stay in Jericho he refused again. He went with him all the way to the other side of the Jordan River. Each time Elijah told Elisha to stay somewhere Elisha responded by saying: “as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee.” Each time the sons of the Prophets told Elisha that the Lord was about to take away his master he told them to “Hold their peace.” Elisha was determined to stay connected to Elijah. When Elijah smote the Jordan River with his mantle and the waters parted, Elisha was still there. We will never receive anything from a man or woman of God unless we respect the anointing that rests upon them. We can not learn from somebody we resent, we can only learn from somebody we admire. Some people will get angry when God begins to bless you. Some people will not celebrate your victories and blessings with you. Some will even become jea-lous and begin to falsely accuse you. When this happens do not become sad and depressed but begin to rejoice and be glad. Because one of the last things that happens before a promotion comes is you will encounter an enemy.

I come by this morning to remind you, everybody can’t go where God has destined you to go. Stop trying to take people who God hasn’t called to go with you. That includes family, friends or foe. Everytime God is about to do something new in your life, whether it be receiving a new anointing, going to the next level of your destiny, or taking you into a season of prosperity; God will lead you to a place where the crowd will not be able to go. Be bless and I love you!!! JE
