Many churches who profess Christianity usually are on a quest to save souls, and successfully do so. They get sinners to find Christ, surrender to God through Him, then baptize with the Holy Spirit and water. While all of this is great, so much so that angels and all of heaven rejoice, this step is merely taking new believers to the entrance of the Kingdom of God. And it doesn't end there. You have now "migrated to a new country" (God's Kingdom) and you are to begin working on becoming a full citizen.

Now that you have given God your life and full authority over you, it's the start of a great journey. All your problems don't just go away nor do you become instantly happy ALL the time. You have simply decided to access the power of God which has been there all along.
For God is omnipresent (everywhere) but can only work in your life if you accept Him and invite Him in.

The difference from your former life is that now you have accepted to have a relationship with your creator and are on a path to divine destiny. God begins to change you and you allow Him to show you what you were created to be. Everyone of us has God given talents and to find out through Him what you were created to be is most amazing!
When He created us He gave us each a solution to a problem in this world and how we can make it better for ourselves and others. If we truly give God a chance to reveal to us what this talent or solution is, then we'll find our place in this life. There would be no need for envy or competition with others because everyone would come to accept that they are exactly who they were created to be rather than try to do what someone else is good at because it is proving to work for them.

Additionally, your choice to walk the narrow path with Christ is not a problem free one. You simply get a peace from deep within and the wisdom of God to guide you on viewing your circumstances through His eyes! Acknowledging that you are already victorious by serving a victorious God.
Some argue that this belief in Christ is enslaving but it is actually LIBERATING! As a Kingdom Citizen you aspire to go deeper in God as He reveals His power to you. The earth is yours to dominate as stated in Genesis 1:26-28 "God gave man dominion over the earth and in Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek, they will inherit the earth"
Your natural mind begins to function in the spiritual and that, that is no slavery.

| The day my journey to Divine Destiny officially began! |
So how does one get to the level of ultimate divine destiny in Christ? By staying in Him, taking part in things of Him and feeding your spirit daily and allowing Him to work on you in His timing. The best way is to find a job or task that glorifies God and commit to doing it. For example; joining the Youth, Women's, Men's, Worship... ministries at your church and diligently working in God's vineyard for the advancement of His kingdom!
The idea of instant gratification has to be dismissed when coming to the things of God because as the ruler of the world He holds everything in His hands. So release that pressure of seeing change right away, rest in His power and Watch God work!

I am most happy for anyone who chooses to have a relationship with God and to aspire to become a citizen of His Kingdom
Recognize you now have the power over the earth and the things therein through Jesus Christ. So stay in God, don't look back and know that He promises to never leave you! Deuteronomy 31:6
Make God your everything: Provider, Friend, Father, Protector, Counselor, First Love... Love Him more than anyone else because while your family or spouse may fail you, God won't and whatever He allows you to endure He won't do it to hurt you. Even when he breaks you it is to take you back up even higher! Waw! What a mighty God we believe in!
