Christian Faith

Don't Miss Your Destiny | Powerful Short Sermon   It's easy for us to focus on getting to the place we want to be. It's harder for us to be faithful where we are. In this video, I talk about the lie that the enemy wants to use to distract us from faithfulness in the little things. God has a calling and a destiny for all believers, however our destiny is something that we can only truly find if we are seeking first the Kingdom of God.   #DontMissYourDestiny, #ShortSermon, #ChristianMotivation, #PowerfulMessage, #FaithOverFear, #GodsPlan, #ChristianEncouragement, #Jeremiah2911, #TrustGod, #PurposeDriven, #WalkInFaith, #SpiritualGrowth, #BibleVerses, #ChristianInspiration, #DestinyCalling, #JesusSaves, #MotivationalPreaching, #ChristianReels, #ChristianYouTubeShorts, #HolySpiritLed   All the images and music used in the video belong to their respective owners.

00:00Hey guys, this is Troy Black. Today I want to talk about the lie that keeps us from being

00:12faithful. And the lie that I'm talking about is simply this, I would be happier if. And you can

00:20fill that in with anything. I mean, it's easy for us to think, I would be happier if I had this,

00:26or if I had more of this, or if I was over here instead of where I am, or I would be happier if

00:32I was with this person, or I would be happier if I had this job, or this amount of money,

00:38or I would be happier if I had a different past. But the problem with thinking that way is that I

00:44believe it's a lie from the enemy, and it's not from God. And the reason the enemy wants you to

00:49think that you would be happier if you had this, and to focus on that, is because it'll keep you

00:54from fulfilling the calling and the destiny that God has for you to fulfill. And the reason I

00:59believe it can stop us from fulfilling that purpose that God has called us to fulfill is because

01:04God has called us to be faithful in the little things. And we see that in Scripture that God

01:11expects us to be faithful in the little things before He'll put us in charge of much, or before

01:15He'll give us much. But if we keep focusing on, I wish I had that, or I wish I was there, or I wish

01:21that things would be different, and then I would be happy. And then maybe I would be able to get

01:27around to doing whatever it is that God wants me to do. If we keep focusing on that, then we're

01:32actually going to miss out on the journey that God wants us to be on right now. And we're going to miss

01:36out on whatever it is that He has called us to be faithful at right now. And what's crazy is,

01:43even if we got that thing that we thought would make us happy, even if we got whatever it is that

01:48that lie is telling us we need, we still wouldn't find happiness because happiness in and of itself

01:54is temporary. It's not eternal. But there's something that's stronger than happiness, something

02:00that's more fulfilling, more complete, and it's called joy. And it's something that comes directly

02:06from God. Galatians 5, 22 through 23 is pretty well known. It says,

02:13But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

02:21gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. The second fruit of the Spirit is joy.

02:28And that's something that we can only obtain, only get if we're walking in the Spirit,

02:33if we're spending time with our Savior. But when we start listening to that lie that says,

02:39this is what would make you happy, what ends up happening is we miss out on the joy that we could

02:45be experiencing right now if we were only walking with Him, and if we were only relying on Him

02:51to help us be faithful where we are. And the crazy thing about trying to go and get what you want on

02:58your own is that God has set up this life in such a way that when we're seeking Him first, Jesus said,

03:06seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

03:09He set it up in such a way that when we are seeking Him first, He's going to provide everything

03:14that we need. But we think we need what that lie tells us we need so badly that we're willing to give

03:21up the one thing that could actually give us what we need, and that's the Father. That's a personal

03:26relationship with Him. A verse that I really love is Psalm 1611. It says,

03:33You will make known to me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand

03:42there are pleasures forever. And another translation actually talks about the pleasures forever being

03:49based on the fact that we're going to live with God forever, which is amazing that He says,

03:55in your presence is fullness of joy. All the joy we could ever need, want, or even experience is in,

04:03it's found in God's presence. And we're going to be in His presence for all eternity if we know Him.

04:10And so whatever it is that that lie is telling you to seek, just remember that it is a lie.

04:17God's presence is so much more rewarding in eternity and now than anything else we could get on this

04:27earth. It's God's job to take us where we need to be. So don't keep thinking that you need to be

04:34somewhere else. It's our job to be faithful where we are right now.

04:47God is so much better.

04:52God is so much better.

05:08God is so much better.
