LORD, ESTABLISH ME TO FULFIL DESTINY

“He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and ESTABLISHED my steps” – Psalm 40:2

Beloved, please join me to meditate and pray: “LORD, ESTABLISH ME TO FULFIL DESTINY”! David testified: “He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and ESTABLISHED my steps” (Psa.40:2). God promises to perfect, ESTABLISH, strengthen, and settle us (1Pet.5:10).  God not only perfects and equips us, He will establish our steps to fulfil destiny. God will establish us in righteousness: “In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you” (Isa.54:14). Jehovah will keep us from oppression and terror!

However horrible and terrible your pit experiences have been, God is more than able to rescue you, and to ESTABLISH your steps! He brought Joseph out of the horrible pit of death that his brothers threw him into. He rescued Jabez from the horrible pit of a cursed destiny. He delivered the three Hebrew youth from the horrible pit of persecution. He saved Mordecai from the horrible pit of perpetual servitude and oppression. He released Hannah and Elizabeth out of the horrible pit of barrenness. He salvaged the woman with the issue of blood out of the horrible pit of disease and debt. And in all these cases, He established their steps! If you believe, God will bring you out of any horrible pit you have found yourself in Jesus name. By His mighty power, you will escape from the miry clay of stagnancy, of futile and fruitless efforts, and of movement without advancement.

"Steps" or “Goings” speaks of the multifaceted dimensions of destiny. The Lord God alone is capable of establishing you on all fronts – in all faces and phases of life and destiny. Beloved, declare these prophetic proclamations with me by faith:

God will establish me in productive study and fruitful meditation in His Word.

God will establish me spiritually: in unfeigned faith, renewed hope, and genuine love for Him and for others.

God will establish me in Christian character, fruitfulness, and intimate communion with the Holy Spirit.

God will establish me in seeking His face relentlessly in effectual prayers and fasting without fatigue.

God will establish me academically, career-wise, financially, in harmonious marriage and fulfilling ministry.

God will establish me in permanent victory over sickness, disease, debt, failure, disappointment and all forces of darkness.

Only He who knows your past, your present, and the future is sufficient to accomplish all of these! There are however two essential prerequisites for divine establishment. First, you must learn how to wait patiently for the Lord – for His direction on all issues and His guidance on all decisions. Second, you must be ready to cry to the Lord in intense and persistent prayers.

Divine Establishment is not limited to the Old Testament. Many New Covenant scriptures affirm that Divine Establishment is God’s Will.

The Lord will establish you in faith and in His service through impartation of His Spirit: “For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be ESTABLISHED” (Rom.1:11).

He will establish you through revelation of His Word: “Now to Him who is able to ESTABLISH you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began” (Rom.16:25).

By His grace, you will take root downward and bear fruit upward: “Rooted and built up in Him and ESTABLISHED in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving” – (Col. 2:7).

These are the divine assurances on the pathway of destiny: God will “comfort your hearts and ESTABLISH you in every good word and work” (2The.2:17). “But the Lord is faithful, who will ESTABLISH you and guard you from the evil one” (2The.3:3).

He who ESTABLISHES your steps shall put new songs of Victory and triumph in your mouth; and His tender mercies, loving kindness, and truth shall preserve you, in Jesus name (v.3, 11).
