Destiny Is Pushing You

A push into your destiny can be painful…
 
It didn’t happen to you, it happened for you! When destiny pushes us, you can best believe that it was necessary or it was time. 
 
Listen beloved, destiny pushes you for one of three reasons:
 
  1. You are in bondage
  2. It’s time for you to move on to your promotion or promise position
  3. You are sitting in a place, a season or a relationship that is blocking your blessing
Put this in your spirit…They had to do what they did. When it was time for Joseph to move on from Potiphar’s house, Potiphar’s wife lied on him and her lie sent him to jail. Joseph went from everything being all good to all hell breaking lose in a matter of a day — because it was time for him to go. Destiny pushed him with a lie to position him for his promise. Joseph’s promise couldn’t fulfilled at Potiphar’s house, he had to go to the pen in order to get to the palace (Genesis 39:7-20).
 
They didn’t leave you, God removed them. That disaster was your open door. Listen, when destiny pushes you, you were somewhere you weren’t supposed to be, holding on to something that was killing you, fearing something that was sabotaging you, or unaware that you were in a temporary place.
 
You’re going to have to get comfortable being uncomfortable in order for God to keep moving you from glory to glory, from faith to faith, from the pit to the palace. 
 
When history is over, destiny shows up!
 
Listen, I have seen destiny show up and mess up what I thought was great. The spirit of complacency can cause us to become content in a place, a relationship, a fear, a feeling, a decision or on a level, that takes us off of God’s path and causes us to do overtime in a season. When we start doing overtime, destiny starts preparing for our push.
 
Put This In Your Spirit: Your destiny belongs to God — His plans for your life were written in His book before you were born. The bible declares, “Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be” (Psalm 139:16). Don’t be surprised when destiny pushes you, be surprised if destiny stops pushing.
 
You weren’t supposed to get promoted there, they weren’t supposed to like you there, you weren’t supposed to spend the rest of your life with them, you weren’t supposed to do business with them, you weren’t supposed to be comfortable with a mediocre relationship! Resist the temptation to get depressed about what pushed you out, and start praising God for your PUSH! You didn’t get pushed because you wanted to be pushed, you got pushed because God favors you!
 
It might look like all hell is breaking lose, it might feel painful, it might look like a loss but trust and believe, God is breaking you out of that temporary place, that stronghold, that dry season, that comfortable place, to position you for His promise.  
 
You’re going to encounter some situations, and some setbacks along your journey that will feel like an attack but understand, God uses opposition to move us into position.  
 
Hate put Joseph in the pit, a lie at Potiphar’s house sent him to the pen. Joseph had to get to the pen because his cellmate was his usher to the palace. Get comfortable being uncomfortable for your destiny. The prophecy written in God’s book for your business, your ministry, your love life, your promise, will keep pushing you out of your history until you fulfill your destiny!
 
Stand on it, decree and declare it…”It didn’t happen to me, it happened for me!”
 

If you’ve been pushed and the push feels like pain, let this song minister to your spirit…
