Luke 14:26-33
26If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? 29Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, 30Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
31Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? 32Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
33So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
The first thing we must remember is that Jesus wants to make sure He is the first in our life and He wants us to love Him with all our heart. To reach your Destiny you’re going to have to Design your plan. This passage makes it clear if you don’t have a plan, you won’t finish. You may wonder how to do this. I’m going to give you a couple practical steps to designing your destiny.
1) You must make sure your plan is Gods plan. So many people are out of place with God because they are following there own plan rather than His. When you are following your own plan the Grace (God’s ability in you allowing you to do what you could not do by yourself) is not there for your mission. When it’s God’s plan His power will be there to help you get it done.
2)You must count the cost. People often say they are willing but when it gets a little difficult they stop. If you recognize that it will not always be easy, and continue to persevere through the rough spots, you will see your destiny come to pass.
When you are obedient to God’s plan and His way of doing things through His word and prayer His way will become clearer in your life.
