"Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. (John12:24)
Destiny is placed in us as a seed. It could be argued that it is placed in us at natural conception or spiritual conception. One thing that is sure though is that our Devine destiny will never be fully accomplished apart from God.
As a seed in the natural, so the seed of destiny must go through a certain process before it produces its fruit. Simplistically, a natural seed must go into the ground and it must die. There has to be moisture and heat to rot the husk and germinate the seed, then down go the roots and up comes the sprout.
A spiritual seed, the seed of God’s destiny, also has to die. We are aware of its presence, we are drawn by its call, but are not capable of walking in or fulfilling it. It must be buried in the womb of God’s presence. We acknowledge it, we admit our inability to make it happen, and we release it back to God that He may cause it to be, and that He may receive honor and glory from it.
The natural outcome of that destiny dies and is buried in the purposes of God. God then resurrects it to life, and a destiny we could have never pulled off with our own abilities begins to germinate. Its roots begin to sink into the purposes of God, and our destiny begins to sprout.
