Chain Reaction Starting with an Attitude to Build a Destiny
CHAIN REACTION STARTING WITH
AN ATTITUDE TO BUILD A DESTINY
ATTITUDE: Way of thinking; vision of life; universal expectation;
CHARACTER: disposition, temperament;
DESTINY: Intended or meant to be on a universal and eternal basis;
HABIT: behaviour.
We know very well this universal Chain Reaction of the creation of a destiny which takes its roots in an attitude which ends into a habit which, in turn, becomes character which, finally, creates Your universal destiny.
An ATTITUDE is the direct result of Your conscious or unconscious, Your willing or unwilling choice of thought patterns, Conception of Life, World View, Universal Vision. This attitude can be compared to a large very fertile piece of land, where anything you plant, whether good or bad, would grow and produce abundant fruit, for Your own blessing or your own curse. The choice is Yours! You are free to make any choice You Wish because of the Free will given You by our Creator. It is our Choice to choose life or to choose death, to choose good or to choose evil; to choose the best or to choose the worst; depending on Your Choice through Your Free Will Exclusively; with nobody to blame but your own self. Proverbs 3:1-8 – tells us “My son do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands; For length of days and long life and peace they will add to you. Let not mercy and Truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, And so find favour and high esteem In the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your path. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.”
Attitude builds into Habits!!
A HABIT is behaviour, a mind set, the direct outcome of a persistent, repetitive attitude on your part, which commands you now and dictates you its own will to which you can only obey and surrender without any defense. A habit makes you a slave where you used to be the Master; your habit can heal you or hurt you; cause life or death ( of a person, of a dream, of plans, of a vision, of a hope, you choose it…) your habit can bless or curse, create your peace or your terror, your blossoming or your stagnation, faith or unbelief, in short your habit can cause you to succeed or lamentably fail in life. This is the reason why you absolutely need to choose the right attitude in order to create the very best habit that will work hand-in-hand with you and minister to your exclusive welfare and never otherwise in the precious name of Jesus. As you read this message, perhaps are you
directly confronted with some radical truth unknown to you before; it might even be that you find it hard to accept, to believe, to digest and to live by it. But God, Who is always behind His word to accomplish it, has decided to glory His name through His word that you are reading now. According to God’s promise, our heavenly Father will convince you of sin, righteousness and judgment: He will see You through, He is faithful and willing to bring all His promises to pass in your life as you trust Him. Isaiah chapter 55, teaches us - “Ho! Everyone who thirst s, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come buy and eat. Yes come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance. Incline your ear, and come to me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you- The sure mercies of David. Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people, A leader and commander for the people. Surely you shall call a nation you do not know, And nations who do not know you shall run to you, because of the Lord your God, And the Holy one of Israel; For He has glorified you.
Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are my ways Higher than your ways, And my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain comes down , and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; It shall not return to me void, But shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth into singing before you, And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree, And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree; And it shall be to the Lord for a name, For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”
Attitude builds into Habit; Habit builds into Character!!!
A CHARACTER is a disposition of heart, a personality, a style, a temperament. Distinctive attributes pertaining to a person in particular, and distinguishes such person from another one. Your character can do one of two opposite things: either build you or destroy you. The surest way for your character to destroy you is to build your character outside of Jesus. On the other hand, God has given you the ability to choose your very own efficient character according to His Image and likeness through Jesus-Christ our well beloved Redeemer. Listen to these Devine Bible counsels: “And seeing the
multitudes, He (Jesus) went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, For the shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those
who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. (Matthew 5:1-10.) Now let’s listen to Romans 12:1- ) - I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your personal service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. For I say, through the grace given me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; with diligence; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honour giving preference to one another, not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord. Therefore “If your enemy is hungry feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
Attitude builds into Habit; Habit builds into Character; Character builds into Destiny!!!!
DESTINY is an intended or meant to be, the final stage of development on a universal and eternal basis. With the falling of Mankind deep into sin, God our Creator decided to go through the whole process of restoring us completely to our initial state of perfection in Jesus.
You definitely need to realize that, although there are many other negative ones, Jesus-Christ of Nazareth is your only positive destiny: Jesus is your exclusive positive destiny both now and in the everlasting future without any exception, in Jesus’ name!
Speaking of Himself, Jesus has been, and is, the only one throughout history able to say openly “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him. He who has seen Me has seen the Father; Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. If you love Me, keep My commandments And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another helper, that He may abide with you forever- The Spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with youand will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. A little while longer and the world will see Me no more. But you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keep them, it is he who loves. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.(John 14:6-21.)
Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also PREDESTINED to be conformed to the image of HIS SON, that He might be the FIRSTBORN among MANY BRETHREN. (Romans 8:26-29)
Attitude builds into Habit; Habit builds into Character; Character builds into Destiny in Jesus-Christ of Nazareth Amen!!!!
