0582 Directions to Destiny Part 2

Directions to Destiny Part 2 Instead of looking for destiny, position yourself where destiny can find you David was obeying parents, not praying to be a king If you are too big for sheep, you are too small for the throne Charisma starts, character sustains Charisma takes up, character keeps you there Character is rock, gift without it is balloon Chemistry is gasoline, character is wood Reputation is who you suppose to be; character is who you are. Reputation is the photo; character is the face. Reputation is made in a moment; character is built in a lifetime. Reputation makes you rich or poor; character makes you happy or miserable Those who fight against! Those who fight for! Those for whom God fights! This battle is not mine! I'm not fighting because you insulted me but my God When you know you are, you know who you are not It's better to be rejected for who you are than accepted for who you are not I'm not dressed to impress; I'm dressed for success Before you can smile, you might be laughed at Saul dressed David. God dressed David God will never stop your enemy from laughing at you, but He will never let him kill you Desire for success is bigger than fear of rejection The path of victory is the cross....enemy will not have he last laugh Jesus died in hands of people pleaser... You cannot defeat your opponent with weapons you have tried You cannot fight with God whom you did not taste David's first victory was in choosing right weapon, Gods Armor David have tried God in similar situations and found Him very reliable, trustworthy, real, genuine, authentic, well founded, well grounded Goliath naturally stood better chance of victory, but spiritually David was superior, because he was on the Lord side Your success is some else's test Success can cost your life (Abel) Not everyone can live in success (Jesus) Success makes people like you who never did Success makes people hate you who liked you before You can be king and very insecure. Beauty can't cure insecurity The most miserable person is he whose identity is attached to position David is the reason why I feel so miserable (John is in prison - hero in Gods eyes) Comparing is an open door for torment David came as musician not as a king. Right place, wrong position Joseph came to palace as a slave, not a pri-minister Jesus came on earth as human, not king David was good at removing stress from king, not bringing stress to him People who get promoted in the palace are people who are able to remove problems; people who are removed from the palace are people who bring problems Cancer or crown: one gets removed, another gets promoted
