READ: GENESIS 4:16-22
Several things we do one
way or another add up to establish or truncate our destiny. May your positive
destiny never be truncated in Jesus name.
One Bible character we can learn from is Cain. He was the first man born of a woman. His father was created as the original mould for the whole of mankind. Adam, from his first day on earth was an adult. He never experienced childhood although the second Adam did. Cain was the heir apparent to the kingship of the earth. But instead of uniting with Abel to fulfil their destiny, he killed him out of envy. He was threatened by his brother’s good standing before God. If he had known his secret murder of Abel would be told to generations for 6000 years, he would never have done it.
Is your subordinate better gifted than you? Is God’s gift on his life more radiantly manifested? Praise God. Don’t kill the gift or frustrate him because the gifts and calling of God on his or her life are from God. If you deliberately create a non conducive atmosphere for its development, it will retard your growth and progress. Ultimately, you will account for everyone who was denied being impacted by those gifts. You could rather encourage him to develop it and God will reward you, while men will acknowledge you as the father or head of such successful individual. Besides, every evil act you do to somebody particularly a fellow believer will be told in public places in several years to come.
After Cain’s murder, he was punished but also obtained mercy from God. Thereafter, from wandering here and there, he built the first city on earth. Through him and his children various professions sprang up e.g. cattle rearing, harp and organ instruments making and metal smithing. Cain was a great man, yet because of his evil past, he was exempted from the genealogy of Genesis 5 and Luke 3:23-38. How you start the faith is important but how you end is much more important. Cain attained earthly greatness but where greatness really counted, he scored zero. Thank God you began well. But how are you ending? Are the marks of the old man – anger, vengeance, lies and malice – not back in your life? Having started in the spirit are you ending your spiritual journey in the flesh? Certain acts could rewrite your history negatively and omit your account from God’s good books. Watch every move!

MEMORIZE:
GALATIANS 3:3 –Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now made
perfect by the flesh?
