People are insecure by nature. But it's where you put your security that determines a secure person and an insecure person. Put your security in temporary things and your security will be temporary and you will become insecure again. Put your security in things that last forever and your security will last forever. So guys, let's put our security in God because he is the only thing that will never change.
Deuteronomy 7:6
'For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.'
We as people of God are holy to him. It's not our right that we may receive eternal salvation, it was a God-given destiny. We weren't born to be people of God so that when we die, we will go to heaven but we were chosen by God to be his people. Let's not think for once that going to heaven was our right but in fact, it's our privilege and as fast as privileges can be given, it can also be taken away. The bible says that what is precious to us is also precious to God and so if our destiny is his treasured possession, shouldn't this destiny given by God be our treasured possession?
Let's not be Esau who sold his birthright for some bread and some stew and then despised his birthright because of his foolishness. Temptations do come but would you rather have things of this world or have this things from God? Anyone can have the things of this world but not everyone has a destiny to be with God for eternity. God can bless you with the things of this world but the world cannot bless you with the things of God. God is so unlimited but this world is very limited.
And this destiny of ours, it's an eternal privilege, not a right.
Joshua 10:42
"All these kings and their lands Joshua conquered in one campaign, because the Lord, the God of Israel, fought for Israel."
Let's conquer mountains this season because our God will fight for us.
