ATTACKING THE VEHICLE OF DESTINY
Rahab – she was a harlot, but her vehicle of destiny was her hospitality. It was tired to hiding the spies from Israel and the rope with which she let down those spies to escape. Supposing she had shunned those spies, that could have been the end of her destiny. We would4 not be reading today that she was part of the lineage of Jesus.
King David – David’s vehicle of destiny was his divine curiosity, that is, his guest to know what was happening in the battlefield and who Goliath was to be harassing the people of God. He was left in the field to look after the sheep while his elder brothers went to the war front, but, those senior brothers could not perform on the battlefield until he got there, and of course, the defeat of Goliath was the promotion of David. Also, the hatred and pursuit of saul after David was another vehicle of destiny for David. This means that the vehicle of your destiny may sometimes be very unfriendly, it may be things you do not enjoy or things you dislike in your life.
Prophet Elisha – Elisha’s vehicle of destiny was his hard work, his loyalty to his master, his stubborn faith and his vigilance which made him to follow Elijah and got the double portion. What a glorious thing for him! And how shameful was it for Gehazi who could have gotten four times the anointing of Elijah, but instead, he collected leprosy, thus putting his posterity in trouble.
Apostle Peter – peter’s vehicle of destiny was his fishing job, he did it all night and it implied that he was not a lazy person. He was a generous person too; for when Jesus asked him to release his boat him, he did not complain of not being able to catch any fish the previous night. Also, his boldness and humility to follow Jesus in spite of the fact that at sixty six years old, his age doubled the age of Jesus Christ numerically was another one.
Gideon – Gideon, another man of destiny was working hard in the midst of the enemy, when the angel came unto him and said,”…peace unto you great man of valour….” He was not cajoled by the angel’s statement. He said, “which peace?, when what I am doing here is in the secret for fear of our oppressors…” His openness and admission of helplessness was his vehicle of destiny. His readiness to carry out divine instruction to the letter was his vehicle of destiny too.
Mary Magdalene – What was mary Magdalene’s vehicle or destiny? Her demons. From her, Jesus cast out seven demons. So, Satan made one of the greatest mistakes of his life when he invaded Mary Magdalene. Some people in the past …” well, if such people properly examine it, they would discover that such deliverance of this woman that made her to be the first person to see the lord Jesus when He rose from the dead. Her guest for deliverance became the vehicle of her destiny.
Joseph – Joseph’s vehicle of destiny was the envy and jealousy of his brothers. Even his father cautioned him to desist from talking about his dream. He queried, “How can I and your mother be bowing down for you?” False accusation was also his vehicle of destiny. Later on when he got to prison, he told pharaoh’s butler that he was going to be released and that he should remember him, but the Bible says the man forgot Joseph in the prison after his release. We understand here that broken promises also added to his vehicle of destiny. Say this loud and clear: “My problem is my promotion.”
