YOUR CONDITION IS NOT YOUR CONCLUSION.
The yearning and groaning to succeed is in every one, even those that commits crime. The greatest enemy of success is the fear of failure. The only barrier to what we would have become and what we are is actually "fear", the fear of advancing, fear of trying new things, the fear of the unknown, fear of uncertainty.
You are born because there is something God wanted done that requires you, so you are not a biological mistake or experiments and whatever you are born to do is not attached to any condition or arcumstances but it is inside of you and can only be affected and aborted by you .
The word condition is the circumstances affecting the way in which people live or work, especially with regard to their safety or well-being, it is a state of affairs that must exist or be brought about before Something else is possible or permitted.
Conclusion on the other hand is the of an event or process. No manufacturer makes a product Without finishing it first. The future is presented first, and then the manufacturer goes back and create the present. Whatever you are born to do <your conclusion> God finished it first. When God decided what he wanted you to become he decided to start you, so your future (conclusions) existed long before your present. Your conclusion which is your future is an unmanifested purpose, and which is to the original reason for your existence, hence, making it to that end is to be successful.
Psalms 139:14-16 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
You are fearfully and wonderfully made and your soul testifies of this.
God took man out of eternity wrapped in a timed body, he took the beginning of your life, and the end of your life and put on both in time. You came to the earth with the beginning and your end inside of you. Your future does not depend
on your external environments or conditions around you, and sometimes you are even with people who doesnt like you, it's okay, as long as you like you, what is inside of you i.e your conclusion will bring you through.
Your Condition, circumstances surrounding your life, present predicaments cannot change God's conclusion concerning your life because your end is hidden in God, finished from the foundation of the earth, so whatever you are going through is not your future, it is never the conclusion of you. Yet, it is expected of you to prepare yourself mentally, physically, emotionally, and Spiritually for the worst, if you can settle the worst, the devil is beaten even Jesus christ announced his death first and then moved on with life. This is how you can live beyond or above your Conditions because God is committed, truthful, faithful, and righteous enough to the future he placed in your present. It is an error to allow your condition to decide your conclusion, No! your
Conclusion should be what God has already finished about you. You need to come to the reality that nothing is permanent except God and his promises.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
If Indeed, God has finished or concluded your end, then there shall be a performance and fulfilling of his word.
Habakkuk 2:1-4 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
Your troubles, those conditions that puts your hope in jeopardy can never last. The hope and joy that we have is that in the midst of our trials and difficulties, even in a dangerous and unpredictable world, our souls are anchored in the word because the conditions that you think or allowed to determine your conclusion will not last, for since we are born of God, we have over come all these, even the world.
1 John 5:4-5 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Exodus 15:2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
Storms will definitely come, it is up to you not to give up on that expected end that you have in God. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
We will all get them at one point in our lives, difficult moments will come, it is of you to remain
anchored to God because that condition is not your conclusion.
Acts 27:22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.
Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
On uour way to your conclusion, Conditions with arise that will shake your faith, make you feel like your existence is an experiment or a mistake, in the midst of this dangers, difficulty, uncertainty, or pain, you need to take courage according to the word of Paul because the time of refreshing shall come according to the word of the Lord.
These men were on this ship in a storm for fourteen days in total darkness, eating was not on their mind, They were not eating because of the storm and they feared for their lives, Paul knew that being on that ship in the storm was a Condition, but it was not their conclusion!
Paul assurance and confidence of a better conclusion is in the word of the Lord via His angel .
Acts 27:23-25 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
As long as you have your connection with the messenger which is the Holy spirit, He will reassure you that your condition is not your conclusion.
1 Corinthians 2:9-10 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
And this will lead us to what I called " THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM."
Yes, we all yearn and strive for a better tomorrow, what about the present, do we care about it? The present may offer goodness and abundance blessings, more so as it offers failures, disappointments, breakdowns, and so on, if all these are experienced what comes to your mind?
We all embark on journeys and we can't do this without having a drawn out plan to take us to our destination or we have a navigational system in place to successfully navigate to our expected
Conclusion. The way the navigation system works in our cars is the way God wants to operate us. That though in Him our end which is our conclusion is guaranteed according to His word, yet there are ways we need to follow or walk in. And along the way whatsoever we encounter we are sure that joy is certain in the morning even if sorrow last for the night, we will stand strong haven't known that at the end of the dark tunnel light is certain.
A navigation system is a (usually electronic system) that aids in navigation. Navigation systems may be entirely on board a vehicle or vessel. And navigation system may be capable of:
* containing maps, which may be displayed In human readable format via text, or in a graphical format.
* Determining a vehicle's or vessel's location via sensors, maps, or information from external
sources.
*Providing information on nearby vehicles or vessels, or other hazards or obstacles.
* Providing information on traffic Conditions and suggesting alternative directions.
How are you connected to the one that have decided your conclusion even before your existence ?
It is this same way the navigation system functions that God wants to operate us.
"I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye" (Psalm 32:8), In all thy ways acknowledge Him and he will direct thy paths. < Prov: 3:6>. It is obvious that if you can't hear well, you can't Speak right. We are so much preoccupies With our plans forgetting that we need a navigation system to successfully see us through or take us to the realization and fulfiliment of our plans.
Just like we needed the navigation system to get to our destination, so also do we need God to get to our Conclusion that is already settled by /in Him.
Sometimes there is so much noise around us that we cannot hear from God. And some times we needed God to tell us that we've made the wrong turn and make a U-turn, so we can be back on track. For every journey we embark on (in line with God's purpose), He's made available the supernatural Provisions, but if you can't hear from him, you will definitely be lost. How can He speak to us when we are only busy pouring out our minds to him without giving Him the time or chance to speak to us.
In acts of apostles 27:23 -25, Paul was able to hear and receive, that is why he was so convinced and convicted that their current condition is not their conclusion by this he adminished them to eat for there shall be no loss of lives.
Sometimes God is interested in what we are going to learn on our way to our Conclusion, so whatever comes your way don't stop, check the navigation system to know if you are still on course or you've made the wrong turn and you need to make a U-turn. But, if you are still on track Keep on going, no matter what comes your way, for whatsoever that is good won't come easy either. Beyond the storms lies a calm, across the wind lies the still, at the end of every crooketh ways lies a very straight route, so close to your sorrows is joy over flow, beyond your present difficulties and troubles lies much happiness. He never promised us safe journey (we shall see tribulations) but safe landing (be of good cheer, I have overcomed the world).
God will definitely lead you along a path that will fulfill this plans for your life. He is the one who knows the direction to your conclusion and he will lead you accordingly, all you need to do is to stay in touch with him. For every of your steps ensure you hear from Him, just like father Abraham on his way to offering up Isaac as a sacrifice unto God. Be sure to hear from Him or you will be lost in the midst of the Conditions and miss His Conclusions for your life. ("Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"). You miss that particular mountain, you miss your expected conclusion.
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps, and your ears shall hear a word behind you saying; "this is the way walk in it" when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. (Isa 30:21).
Beyond that troubles lies Comfort, beyond that lack lies greater abundance, beyond that storm, is a calm, beyond that trial and casting down is a lifting up, beyond that unfruitfulness is an abundance harvest, beyond the years of barreness is fruitfulness, beyond that struggle lies your comfort. To you it might seems unrealistic and so late, but with God it is just in time. Surely He that made the promise is ever faithful He is not a man that He could lie neither the son of man that He could repent, He will surely bring you to that His conclusion of your life.
Beyond your toilings without catching nothing, long night of fruitless works and a meaningless labour, having nothing to show for your sweat, empty dreams and broken promises, banquet of tears and harvest of sorrow, darkness of defeats, pools of tears, calligraphy of agony, mosaic of misery You might be confronted with impending shame dont be weak and weary, and let your heart faint not. Though you might have run out of wine, beyond all this is a fertile land, a place of abundance, a place at the mountain top, your pool of tears will be transformed into an oasis of fortune, this is your conclusion, your expected end, finished and hidden in God even before your existence. Never should your condition make you compromise your glorious conclusion.
