The Texts are:

1. Jeremiah 29:1 – 14.
2. Psalm 1 & 89: 14.
3. Psalm 119: 93,103,133,143,153,163,173.
4. Colossians 3: 23.
5. 2 Thessalonians 3: 6 – 13.

For Relevance to WMI’s Week 1 Program (Genesis 1 – 23 and Psalm 1 – 5), we must remember Genesis 1: 26 – 27 which says: 

“Then God said, “Let us make people (humans) in our image, to be like ourselves (with Vision, Imagination, Resourcefulness, Creative Abilities with Excellence). They will be MASTERS (have Dominion and Authority) over ALL LIFE – the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the livestock, wild animals, and small animals. 27. So God created people in His own Image; God patterned them after Himself; male and female He created them“.

Accordingly, our Destiny this year is to look for all Opportunities with Integrity and Thankfulness to be like Jesus Christ who as you heard was Co – Creator as God in Trinity (Christlikeness).

Destiny means Fate or a pre – determined course of events (which is actually The Story & Promise of the Bible) with God and humans, the Creator and the Creatures, in harmony with His original vision and purpose in Genesis and completed in Revelation.

For  Nigerians in particular, we should remember the period 1619 – 1624 (beginning of the West African / Transatlantic Slave Trade) till the present age from 2019 – 2024 that would make the Biblical 400 years from Genesis 15: 13 after this Slave Trade  to the Caribbean, USA, South America, Canada, Europe, etc).

The Destined ONENESS of all Believers or Christians, however, is expressed in Unity with Jesus Christ in the following seven dimensions:

1. Body: the Fellowship of all believers, the Church.
2. Spirit: The HS who activates this fellowship power.
3. Hope: the glorious Future to which we are all called.
4. Lord: Christ to whom we all belong.
5. Faith: our singular Commitment to Christ.
6. Baptism: our sign of Entry into the Church. Finally.
7. One in God: who is our Father who keeps us for eternity.

Of course, we must remember that for this Destiny in Christ and for Christ Himself, we are blessed collectively with 10 Spiritual Gifts and Abilities listed in LiDS 745 ( Week 39), LIDS referring to our ministry message of 1000 Lessons, Instructions, Decision and Sharing (“LIDS”) of God’s Wisdom, Opportunities, Revelations and Direction for righteous living (“WORD”).

Moreover, we are blessed and empowered for eight different Membership Assignments in the Body of Christ referred to in LIDS 746 of the same publication or message mentioned above.

HOW can we continue to be like Jesus Christ which we call CHRISTLIKENESS? See Touch Points. Let us remember always the Apostles Creed:

“I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. 

He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.

He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. 

He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.”
