DESTINY ELEVATIONS BY DISCIPLINE

TOPIC: DESTINY ELEVATIONS BY DISCIPLINE

TEXT:  That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor (1 Thessalonians 4:4).

The moral decadence in the world we live in is at an alarming proportion. And on daily basis you have a decision to make to either live for God or join whatever is trending both our streets and the social media. Yielding to the world might come at a higher price than the gain it portends. But regardless God has given us the power to take charge of our lives.

When you read about the life of Joseph, it isn’t hard to see that his ability to live in self-control elevated him to prominence. When Potiphar’s wife tried countless times to get Joseph to sleep with her, Joseph emphatically refused. One day when she grabbed him and he ran from her, she made up a lie and told her husband that Joseph tried to rape her. Her husband was angry and threw Joseph in prison. However, immediately after it happened, Genesis 39:21 says, “But the Lord was with Joseph.” The Lord saw Joseph’s self-control and defended him. Eventually, Joseph was elevated to second-in-command in Egypt. His ability to govern himself caused him to go from the prison to a position of leadership. The result was that he played a key role in saving countless lives from famine, including that of his own family.

Every believer should ask the Lord to show them where they need to exhibit more self-control so that temptation doesn’t eventually get the better of them and cut short their potential for destiny fulfillment. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you be in charge of your own vessel today, because God wants you to be a key player in bringing salvation to your generation and fulfill your God given destiny.
