SOCIETAL INFLUENCE: AN ENEMY OF DESTINY
TIMES OF REFRESHING
ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL by Obiorah Prince Emeka
DATE: WEDNESDAY 16 SEPTEMBER 2020
We live in a generation where there are many conflicts and confrontations against the fulfilment of human destinies. The greatest and yet most hushed enemy of destiny is societal influence. It refers to the way in which Christians change their approach to God’s purpose for their lives to meet the demands of society.
Typically, it exposes lack of purpose in man. The life that lacks purpose and direction is a life where everything goes; it is a state where a man has no power to do what he wants to do. This kind of lifestyle renders people and their destiny useless.
SCRIPTURE:
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2) NKJV
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY:
Societal influence is enigma that vents air of failure and disaster to one’s destiny.
Societal influence takes many forms and can be seen in conformity to lifestyle and trendy, socialization, peer pressure, leadership, persuasion, etc. You need to be at alert at any point in time. Don’t allow this epidemy to over shadow your sense of purpose.
Beloved, refuse to follow the crowd. Fashion a lifestyle that depicts your calling towards fulfilling your destiny. That everyone is doing it does not mean it is destined for you. Discover your purpose of existing and follow it.
NOTE THIS:
Societal influence is enigma that vents air of failure and disaster to one’s destiny.
RESPONSIBILITY:
Keep up with God’s word for instructions, and also guide your destiny desirously.
PRAYER:
O LORD, give me the grace to remain steadfast in pursuing and fulfilling my destiny, in Jesus’ name Amen! (Go ahead and continue to pray)
PROPHETIC WORD:
Receive the unfailing grace to overcome societal influence, in the name of Jesus, Amen.
BIBLE TEXTS: Romans 12:2
