With God, everything has a purpose – Nothing is wasted! My left hand does not negate the need for my right hand and just because I have my place does not mean I can’t visit friends, or go on holidays. There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. Time and chance happen to them all. ‘It is not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD Almighty.
Herein is the comfort of the Holy Spirit:
For this is what has been written by the prophet. Matthew 2:5
Then what had been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled. Matthew 2:17
Now all this took place to fulfil what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet. Matthew 1:22
And remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt I called my son.” Matthew 2:15
And he went and lived in a city called Nazareth, so that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, that he would be called a Nazarene. Matthew 2:23
Friend, did you know that your salvation is nearer than when you first believed? Did you know you are much closer to your destiny today than you were yesterday? I know that because the written word concerning you has now become the living word. You can touch, feel, sense, hear and see the word become flesh right before your eyes! The pieces of the puzzle are coming together.
Fulfilment is:
- The achievement of something desired, promised, or predicted.
- The act of consummating a desire or promise.
- The act of something happening or being made to happen
The tests you are going through now were afore-written about you. And as you go through, you tick off the ones you have completed just as it was written. Step by step, day by day – you are nearing your destination. Persecuted but in fulfilment. Tired but in fulfilment. Shamed but in fulfilment. In pain but in fulfilment.
All these (events, dramas) are taking place to fulfil (to bring into actuality or effect; to execute or accomplish ; to measure up to, perfect, perform or satisfy; to bring to an end or complete) what has been spoken by the Lord. I understand the disappointment and discomfort of having to wake in the middle of the night just because someone somewhere (Herod) does not like you.
They hate on you or so they think not realizing they actually love on you by pushing you towards your destiny because it has long been written; “Out of Egypt I called my son.” Out of poverty I called … Out of divorce I called … Out of sickness I called … Out of pain I called … Out of death I called …Out of! Out of!! Out of!!!
Friend, it does not matter ‘where’ life has driven you, God has already called you out of it and the place where you presently dwell is in fulfilment of the written and spoken word – that He will be called a Nazarene. She will be called a worshipper. He will be called an intercessor. She would be called a successful entrepreneur. He would be called a mogul. You will be called…
You know that life, salvation and power is in, on and with you (Jesus) but you still have to run around, do a job and live life like everyone else. Mary! Joseph!! You have been full circle from Bethlehem to Egypt to Jerusalem to Nazareth and yet there remains a contention. Keep going friend, it’s all about fulfilment. It was written about you.
Praise God for the mess! Praise God in the test!! Praise God through the trial!!! Sooner, they’ll collectively become a message, testimony and triumph!
The word concerning you will be fulfilled!
If I were you, I’d get excited and give God a ‘Fulfilment’ praise! Have a great 7/14/14 – Your day of double perfection! Fulfilment comes!
