What is life all about? Life is about finishing. It is about reaching the end successfully. It is a journey; a journey unto a destination. The destination is that place of total success and victory, that place where everything that you have been sent on this earth to do, HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED. We need equipment in this life in order to reach that destination, equipment of a spiritual nature, and then epuipment of the natural. The equipment that we need spiritually is what we gain as journey unto perfection. The journey unto perfection begins with our acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and we step unto that road of salvation where our lives are constantly being changed and purified in preparation for eternity with Him.

The natural equipment that we need is that which we require to function effectively in the natural realm. Those of us whose natural calling is to be an accountant will not require as his sole qualification a degree in chemistry or botany.

Each person is supposed to know what direction their destiny is in. They may not be able to see it clearly at first but he/she is supposed to have an idea of which direction it is in. Faith in God causes your destiny to be unfolded before you. Your trust in the Holy Ghost causes you to be guided unto the right paths and as you near unto that destiny, as the journey of life progresses, and the final stretch is reached, your destiny is in full view. The nearer you are, the clearer you can see it.

More often than not a person's journey unto his destination coincides with another, this person being his/her spouse. The spouse is an helpmeet for a person. The synergetic effect of their relationship enables each to reach his/her destiny.

Tresspasses cause a your view of your destiny to be obscured. Corruption blocks your vision, hence the reason to surrender your life unto Jesus and walk in purity.

A person's faith is their impetus; faith meaning "the internal reality that occurs on the inside of us, when our thought patterns line up with how God wants us to think," (David Taylor). For the one and only omnipotent God, creator of all, is invisible. So how can someone fully dedicate his/her whole life unto one (who is by all means greater than he/she) that cannot be seen? The only way is if he/she has FAITH!

"He who pursues the destiny of the flesh, pursues death. He who pursues the destiny of the Spirit pursues life."
