There is a pathway to Divine Destiny, Find it and Walk in It!
Welcome to my blog, I am Uyobong Mbaba
Often times, life gives us many options and we sometimes get confused on which to choose. Sadly, many get stuck at such points and end up choosing nothing. It doesn't matter how many options available, there is always the best option. As we tread into 2019, many things would open up with different options, simply stay calm and choose right.
During my personal study time, I stumbled an excerpt from the book of Luke Gospel, chapter 1 and I got a strong message you would love to share from. I prefer the wordings of The Message Bible:
26-28 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to the Galilean village of Nazareth to a virgin engaged to be married to a man descended from David. His name was Joseph, and the virgin’s name, Mary. Upon entering, Gabriel greeted her:
Good morning!
You’re beautiful with God’s beauty,
Beautiful inside and out!
God be with you.
29-33 She was thoroughly shaken, wondering what was behind a greeting like that. But the angel assured her, “Mary, you have nothing to fear. God has a surprise for you: You will become pregnant and give birth to a son and call his name Jesus.
He will be great, be called ‘Son of the Highest.’
The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David;
He will rule Jacob’s house forever— no end, ever, to his kingdom.”
34 Mary said to the angel, “But how? I’ve never slept with a man.”
35 The angel answered,
The Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you;
Therefore, the child you bring to birth will be called Holy, Son of God.
Considering the passage above, we see Mary perplexed with such a prestigious visit as well as unique and powerful proclamations from the Angel of God. She was told things she had never heard her entire life. She was told she could give birth to a son when she hasn't yet slept with her espoused husband and many more of those eulogies poured on her by the Angel.
Perhaps, if we were the concerned, we would have been so excited after those promises and lo, into the air we jump. Others , might have been so afraid and couldn't have even gone out anymore. Others may be would have sought for ways to hasten the proposed marriage so they can sleep with the husband to have the promise fulfilled.
Mary did sought for the path to follow
We see in verse 34 as Mary questioned "HOW" it would be.
34 Mary said to the angel, “But how? I’ve never slept with a man.”
Some versions put it as "How will this be" - NIV; "How shall this be" -KJV . Knowing the HOW of life is very important, lest, we junk in ignorance that our proposed good becomes the bad. Knowing the how is the pathway to reaching our goals in life and ministry. After Mary had asked how? the Angel proceeded to explaining the ways and paths to follow in verse 35:
The Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you... We can see here that the ways of God may be as simple as possible and may not require our effort! God, being the sole designer of our lives had carefully charted a path for each and every one of us. We need not walk like another, all we need is discover the Lord's path for our lives and walk therein. Mary, our example didn't have to sleep with Joseph to conceive Christ. She needed to know which direction the Lord points at for her glorious walk into destiny. We have our ways of doing things, but God has HIGHER ways (Isaiah 55: 8-13; Jeremiah 29: 11). Though His ways may sound foolish in the ears of the natural man, it leads to the EXPECTED END. His end are such that convey peace, joy, ...
Note these! We cannot walk in the wrong path to destiny without scars, wounds and losses:
Wake up, Discover God's ways for your life and stop meddling on your "low" ways

Some will ask how to know which is the right way?
As simple as letting Jesus enter our heart and the holy spirit guide us, the word says that the spirit will guide us to all truth, God will reveal his plan and nothing and no one will be able to snatch it, there are many people who do not see the majesty of God in their lives, because they live anchored in the old covenant, in religion and legalism, they have not recognized the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, that is why there are no greater things than Jesus did, Christ came to give us freedom and we are here with a divine purpose, in the time of grace, integral hearts are needed to mark history as Jesus did, identity in Christ, to know who we are and why we are here.
Some time ago, I went to an interview, and a woman asked me things, and in one of them, she told me what you are? I answered her: I am a Christian, she said in a very calm voice: I am a prophet and you are not a Christian, you are a person who is sitting by the road, immediately, the spirit of truth that contains me, revealed to me the intention of the enemy, to make me doubt my daughter, I wanted him to lose my identity: I rose with authority and said: to the spirit of lies that speaks through you I say at this time, that I come marked with a divine seal from My mother's womb, I am the daughter of a promise, with an apostolic, prophetic and evangelistic ministry, I was born to empower the church and snatch from you, multitudes of souls for Christ, and you know what my name is?
Mother of crowds!
It was awesome, what happened next, the woman started crying, and she started telling me that she does not know why I talk like that.
Good message @uyobong, we just have to remember that the children, we do not delight in sin, but soon we return home.
Thank you Ma for this heavy and edifying comment. That story is a big testimony and I hope will encourage many. Blessing!

I think that having this in mind makes us think if the path we have taken has been correct or we have been on the road that is not due, certainly the wrong path will have left us scarring and pain but the true path has strengthened us and leads us for good. The good thing about the right path is that it is always available to everyone, just waiting to be traveled, and he is none other than our Lord Jesus Christ.
You're right @rubenmedina182. When we are in Christ, we already on the right way!
A veves I wonder: why so many ways if only one is leading to eternal life, the divine response is there are products of imitation and others with original stamp. The way of Jesus is the original.
Buen post brother
Yeah Sister, Jesus is the way!
Brother @uyobong there is no better option than that which is chosen in the right way that option we determine through divine direction and is the patience that helps us meet the excellent designer of our destiny which is none other than our great God that he is not mistaken in the plans that He has for every mortal who has understood that it is essential to choose "the best option" on the right path to reach a glorious destiny

Thanks Sister, when we choose the right path, then we'll reach destiny without losses
