FAITH HAS HANDS AND FEET
For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread. 2Thessalonians 3:10 -12
You do not fulfill your divine destiny by just imagining and talking about it; you need to do what it takes to make it happen step by step and phase by phase. Some people think because they are building their faith life up by studying and meditating on the word of God, they are doing all they need to do to accomplish the purpose for which they were created. The bible says faith without works is dead and the works of faith are the practical steps, inspired by the Holy Spirit, which we take in pursuit of our destiny. In fact, faith without work is like gold within the earth; it is of no value until it is mined out. We were created to do things; God gave the man He created a charge; God blessed them and told them, “Multiply and fill the earth and subdue it. Be masters over the fish and birds and all the animals.” And God said, “Look! I have given you the seed-bearing plants throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food. Genesis 1:28 – 29
Man cannot fill the earth and subdue by just believing and making plans; belief is worthless if it is not converted into action. The world is divided into people who spend their lives talking about the things they want to do and people who actually spend their lives doing things. You cannot talk yourself into what you will be. Praying and declaring that you will fulfill destiny without taking any concrete steps in that regard is like expecting a bountiful harvest when you did not even sow seeds. What you believe doesn’t amount to much unless your belief motivates you to rise up and start doing things. True faith has hands and feet that prove that you know that God has given you the grace to fulfill your divine destiny. You must tap into the power that is produced when faith is mixed with action. Faith mixed with action provokes God to move on your behalf.

• Holy Ghost rescue me from the hand of strong man in my bloodline
• Every smoke emanating from the kingdom of darkness covering my star disappear now in Jesus name
