Now there is a difference between FATE and DESTINY
While ‘fate’ and ‘destiny’ are often used interchangeably, they have subtle differences in meaning, with ‘fate’ implying inevitability and lack of control, while ‘destiny’ suggests purpose and personal agency.
‘Fate’ refers to the idea that events are predetermined and cannot be changed. It implies a sense of inevitability or a lack of control over the course of one’s life. Fate is often associated with the idea of a higher power or supernatural force that shapes the course of events. As such, it can sometimes have negative connotations, as it suggests a lack of control and a sense of resignation to one’s circumstances.
‘Destiny’, on the other hand, implies a sense of purpose or direction in one’s life. It suggests that there is a goal or destination that a person is meant to reach, and that their actions can influence the course of events. Destiny is often associated with the idea of personal agency or free will.
Now the biblical definition of DESTINY is the purposes of God concerning your life and their fulfilment.
In other words
YOU ARE NOT A HAPPENSTANCE, YOU JUST DO NOT EXIST, YOU WERE CAREFULLY CRAFTED FOR THE MASTERS USE.
GOD HAS A PURPOSE FOR YOU AND YOU HAVE TO FULFIL IT.
Ephesians 2:10 MSG No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing.
I love the AMPLIFIED rendering. It says
Ephesians 2:10 AMP For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].
From this text we see that God has a plan, a purpose, a destiny and an assignment for all of us.
God doesn’t make any junk! Everything that He makes is valuable. In fact, after six days of creation, Scripture says, “Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good” (Genesis 1:31).
Your destiny is the customized life calling God has ordained and equipped you to accomplish in order to bring Him the greatest glory and achieve the maximum expansion of His kingdom.
Once you understand that God has a plan for you and that there is an assignment and a purpose for you on this earth you will start being time conscious about time and mush more why you exist.
Scriptural proof that we have a destiny.
Jeremiah 1:4 NKJV Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” 6 Then said I: “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.” 7 But the LORD said to me: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. 8 Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the LORD. 9 Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. 10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.” 11 ¶ Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.” 12 Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.”
