Jesus Christ is a great example to follow. Did Jesus die for us and loves us because of who we are? No! He died for us and continues to love us in spite of who we are. Even though we may disobey him or put him second best he still loves us. Even though at times we do not live up to his expectations, he realizes each one of us has things in our lives we could be better at. He knows we may continue to sin (Romans: 3:23) but he’s not going to put us up on a shelf and find another one to love. He will continue to nuture, love and lead us closer to him. He sticks with us no matter what that is true love.

Let’s all love our friends and close companions not because of what they bring to table of life or what they can do for us, but love them in spite of their areas that don’t line up with our expectations. Don’t take a chance and lose a close friend, or even mate because they didn’t fit into your expectation box. Accept them, value them, and Love them in spite of it all, you may just find a diamond in ruff. Jesus did!

Jesus Christ co-operated with God so that his word for him and through him could be fulfilled and become Saviour of mankind according to divine destiny(Luke 2:11). Divine destiny is sum total of God's purposes for mankind in Christ Jesus corporately and individually for all time and eternity. The aspect of individuality with respect to divine destiny has been highlighted in 'The bat,the cat,and rat'. Divine destiny is revealed to us by God's indwelling Spirit through word of God:- 1 Cor.2:9-10(KJV) "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into heart of man, things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for Spirit searcheth all things, yea, deep things of God."

This is why word of God is vital to issue of divine destiny. Each person and people is likened to one of four types of hearers of God's word analysed in Luke 8:11-15. Each of us has personal responsibility to freely choose to receive word of God! The starting point is when each person in response to word of God repents from sin,and receives Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. Thereafter each person also has duty of joyfully,patiently, and firmly keeping word of God in spite of inner and outer pressures of life(Luke 8:12-14)!!

Heb.6:12(KJV) "That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit promises."

We have already examined importance of faith with respect to destiny in 'Rhema Island'. Linked with faith is patience(Luke 8:15) because process of discovering,pursuing,and fulfilling divine destiny takes time and effort! As each one faithfully and patiently follows Jesus Christ by God's indwelling Spirit,divine destiny begins to unfold unto fulfillment(harvest) in God.

Psalm 1:1-3(KJV) "Blessed is man that walketh not in counsel of ungodly, nor standeth in way of sinners, nor sitteth in seat of scornful. But his delight is in law of LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."
