Princess Bola Adelani continues teaching on destiny in Destiny Demystified, the second part of Destiny Calls.
What was on the mind of God when He created man?
The Trinity had a conversation in heaven: He wanted a species of people, like Him, in His own image to have fellowship with, to commune with. Relationship trumps service with God. God wants everyone to have a relationship with Him.
God would come down in the cool of the day to fellowship with Adam. Through sin, Adam broke that relationship. He lost fellowship.
Our purpose is to have a relationship with God.
This is our #1 calling.
If you are not born again, you are not fulfilling
the purpose for which you have been created:
To have a relationship with God.
Do I have a loving
Father-son,
Father-daughter
Relationship with God?
Jesus came to restore the fellowship that Adam lost, to remove the middle wall of partition. God wants us to reign in eternity with Him, forever.
26 Then God said, “Let Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) make man in Our image, according to Our likeness [not physical, but a spiritual personality and moral likeness]; and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the cattle, and over the entire earth, and over everything that creeps and crawls on the earth.”
Gen 1:26 AMP
What is our three-fold secondary mission?
While relationship with our loving Heavenly Father is our primary mission, we have a three-fold secondary mission.
Fruitful, multiply
Subdue
Reign
We mistake the gift God has given us as the mission itself. Singing, cooking or speaking are our talents or our gifts; but, our call is to be fruitful, subdue & reign.
Our gifts & talents drive our call.
My gift is not an end in itself.
My gift is to multiply, subdue &
reign. All for the glory of God.

Fruitful
Naturally, biologically to be fruitful means to reproduce. To have children. Reproduce after your own kind, multiply yourself.
God wants us to have spiritual sons & daughters. To bring others to the kingdom, through witnessing, preaching, teaching, evangelism, make disciples of all nations. From the place of relationship with Christ, we go out & become fishers of men. To win souls. Teach, preach, make disciples. Teach, train & advocate.
Be innovative in preaching the gospel, soul-winning, witnessing.
Innovative evangelism; innovative discipleship; cutting-edgeevangelism; relationship marketing; relationship evangelism; leverage technology, innovation & your passion.
Marketplace evangelism; GAMEchangers.
Same message; new, different methods: repentance, believe in Jesus, born again, forsake your sins.
Is your gift or talent driving the
Great Commission?
Evangelism?
Are you a fisher of men?
Subdue the earth
Our mandate is to bring people under, into the subjection of, under the mandate of, under the authority of, under the influence of, under the systempf, under the modus operandi of, subject to the laws of, under the leadership of Jesus. His strategy, His teaching, His will, His ways. To influence people to live right, according to kingdom principles; according to God's ways.
We influence people through helping them renew their minds; teaching people; discipleship; mentoring; building relationships; through how we live our lives; people shadowing how we live our lives; living by example; using gifts; speaking; singing; Bible studies; blogs, books.
Influencers, regenerators, evangelists, soul-winners doing the work of an evangelist.
How to live the kingdom way.
Reign over the earth
Govern, control, oversee our areas of influence, watch out for souls of people, be watchmen, lead.
16 You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you & I have appointed & placed & purposefully planted you, so that you would go and bear fruit & keep on bearing, & that your fruit will remain & be lasting, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name [as My representative] He may give to you.
Jn 15:16 AMP
