IMPACT IN DESTINY (1)

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope” – Jeremiah 29:11

David O. Oyedepo’s “Pillars of Destiny” reveals key determinants of IMPACT in DESTINY: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jer.29:11). This is the first verse of scripture that the reader encounters: “For I know the PLANS I have for you, says the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Revised Standard Version). God has a plan for each of us, and in His Plan lies our future. Destiny refers to the Purpose or End to which any person or thing is appointed. God has a good Plan and Destiny for each of His children. His Thoughts or Plans are programmed for us to enjoy Impactful Destinies – “a future and a hope.”

Pillars are very vital to any building as they hold or prop up the building. These pillars of destiny, if diligently obeyed, will equip the Believer to achieve God’s great and glorious plan and purpose, and make positive Impact in Destiny. The Twelve essential “Pillars of Destiny” stand on Three Main Mandates on which the Author’s entire Liberation Mandate is built, namely: The Word of Faith, the Word of Prosperity, and the Word of Signs and Wonders. It takes a message from the Lord to impact the world; hence each of these is a “Sent Word” which enjoys the Sender’s supernatural backing and culminates in divine confirmation.

The Word of Faith comprises: The Word Foundation, Faith – the Master key, Prayer, and Consecration. Romans 10:8 says, “But what does it say? “The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is the WORD of FAITH which we preach).”

The Word of Prosperity consists of the Pillars of: Vision, Wisdom, Success, and Prosperity. This Word is encoded in 2 Corinthians 6:10: “...as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.” 

The Word of Signs and Wonders comprises: The Holy Sprit, The Supernatural, Healing, and Praise. Peter, in Acts 2:22, refers to the Lord Jesus Christ as “a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know.” The Old Testament saints walked in supernatural signs and wonders. These ones understood the Power of the Sent Word. The early church also walked in realms of the supernatural: “And these signs will follow those who believe: In My Name they will cast out demons; and they will speak with new tongues” (Mk.16:17).

Beloved, by these Sent Words, we are equipped and empowered for God-glorifying Impact in Destiny!
