Then said
I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will,
O God (Hebrews 10:7).
The Lord Jesus, while He walked the earth, lived
out the perfect will of God; He walked in a preordained destiny. He located His
destiny and purpose in the written Word, and fulfilled the glorious things that
had been spoken of Him.
Luke 4:17-21 shows us how the Lord entered into His
destiny. It reads, "And there was delivered unto him the book of the
prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it
was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to
preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach
deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at
liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And
he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the
eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began
to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears." The
Master recognized and acknowledged publicly that these verses were written
concerning Him. He knew what His identity and mission were; His destiny was
clearly spelt out in the Word.
Psalms 87:3 says, "Glorious things are
spoken of thee O city of God"; that refers to you—the new creation in
Christ Jesus—you’re the city of God. Glorious things are spoken of you in the
Word: glorious things about your heritage, placement, ability, liberty, and
privileges in Christ Jesus. Your responsibility is to look into the Word to
locate, and enter into, the glorious things that are written of you, and fulfil
your destiny.
Your destiny is in the Word of God, and it’s been
settled; it’s not determined by your family background, country of residence or
the government of the day. You’ve been destined for greatness, set apart for a
life of victory and triumph from glory to glory. 1 John 4:4 says, "Ye are
of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is
in you, than he that is in the world." This means your origin is in God;
you hail from Him, and you’re already victorious over Satan and the adversities
of life. This is your destiny. Personalize this and other glorious things
written of you in the Word, and walk in the light of them. Halleluiah!
Confession
I know who I am! I’m the effulgence of God’s glory;
the radiance of His grace and beauty! I walk in the light of His glory today,
manifesting His righteousness, and unveiling His wisdom that’s inherent in my
spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
