Are you being pushed?

Many people will not move to their destiny until they have been pushed. Are you being pushed? Every successful person was pushed. Circumstances and the challenges of life pushed them. Moses looked at his circumstances and prior sins and felt that he was not the right person to be used by God to deliver his people. God tells Moses: ¹⁰ Now go, for I am sending you to Pharaoh. You must lead my people Israel out of Egypt.” ¹¹ But Moses protested to God, “Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?” (Exodus 3:10-11). But God knew it was time for him to fulfil his destiny and so he was pushed.

Naomi pushed Ruth into her destiny:  ³ Now do as I tell you—take a bath and put on perfume and dress in your nicest clothes. Then go to the threshing floor, but don’t let Boaz see you until he has finished eating and drinking. ⁴ Be sure to notice where he lies down; then go and uncover his feet and lie down there. He will tell you what to do.” (Ruth 3:3-4 NLT). The plan works and Naomi marries Boaz and they have a son, who they name Obed. He became the father of Jesse and the grandfather of David. May you find someone to push you this season.

Mordecai pushed Esther into history. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14 NLT). Esther rescued her people from complete annihilation.

Mary pushed Jesus into his ministry. ³ The wine supply ran out during the festivities, so Jesus’ mother told him, “They have no more wine.” ⁴ “Dear woman, that’s not our problem,” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.” ⁵ But his mother told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” (John 2:3-5 NLT). Jesus completed his first miracle - turned water into wine.

You can be pushed to another location that appears worse than your present location. God told Elijah to leave the brook where he was being fed by ravens and head to the widow of Zarephath. Have you been pushed to work in a different location that does not look promising? God’s promises and blessings are directly connected to your assigned location. You have to align yourself with God’s location. Is God telling you to live and work in City B but you want to live and work in City A. But boring unattractive City B is where God is looking to bless you. City B is where you’ll find your destiny helpers and become blessed beyond your wildest expectation.

At times, you are pushed by adverse circumstances into your promotion. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego refused to worship the golden image and were thrown into a furnace of blazing fire. The Lord sent an angel to rescue them and they came out unscathed.  When the king realised that they had been rescued by God he promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego to higher positions. They were pushed into promotion and wealth. (Daniel 3:18-30).

Every push has four C’s:

1.      Challenge

2.      Choice

3.      Chance

4.      Change

There is normally a challenge and you’ll have a choice to make- you’ll then have to take the chance i.e. walk in faith and the change will arrive. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego had a challenge, they made a decision- the choice of following and worshipping the only true God, they took a chance that they may not be rescued if thrown into the fiery furnace. They came out unscathed and were promoted by the king- a positive and richer change.

There is someone reading this right now that will be pushed this season.

But when you are pushed- are you going to listen to the voice of God or someone else?

You hear the voice of God from the word of God: This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read [and meditate on] it day and night, so that you may be careful to do [everything] in accordance with all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will be successful. (Joshua 1:8 AMP).

God will send you destiny helpers- people that will push you into your destiny, promotion, calling and blessings. My prayer is that you recognise your destiny helpers and make the right decision to overcome your challenge and pushed in the direction God wants you to go.

Shalom.
