Bible Text: Numbers 3: 11-13

11. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
12. And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the Matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
13. Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the Land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the LORD

This morning, we have been asked to speak on: ‘TRANSFORMED DESTINY’ – What a Powerful Topic.

‘Transformed” is a combination of two (2) words – “Trans’ and ‘”Form”.

“Trans’ means Change – That’s where you get other words like ‘Transition’ etc.

So when you hear “Transport’; we are talking about “Changing Port” – Changing from Apapa Port to Warri Port. The Process of Changing requires what we call “Transport’.

When we talk about “Translate”; we are talking about Changing from one Language to another.

“Form” means “Make, Shape, Create Something”.

In Genesis 2:7; the Bible says: God formed Man out of the dust of the Earth.

And so we have certain things that we can learn from the word “Form”.

For Example, when we talk about “Inform”; we are saying that you are adding something to something, you have made, you are adding something to a “Form”. That is why we sent our children to School to be “Informed”, to be “Added to” so that they can become more than they were already.

That is why in Deuteronomy 6:4; the Bible says: Hear Oh Israel, the Lord your God is One God.

… You may not know this before but we are informing you – Adding this to you.

So, when you find out that something is not exactly the way it should be, then you call it “Deformed” – A “Form” that has been destroyed, affected.

For Example: In Marks 3: 1-5; the Bible talks about a Man with a Withered Hand. The hand has been deformed and that is why the One who formed the Man, when He saw him with deformation; immediately stepped in to bring everything back to order.

Which is why I’m saying straightaway – Everyone of you with any kind of deformation; God will step in today – Amen!

And when we talk about “Reformed”; we are talking about something so badly damaged that you have to re-do it again – You have to make it afresh, you have to go back to the “Drawing Board” (To use the Mordern Day Language).

Like in 2 Kings 5: 1-4; in the case of Naaman, he was so badly deformed by Leprosy. Then you have to bring the thing back to the “Original Form”.

That was why when he (Naaman) came out of the water the 7th time; the Bible says that his skin returned to him as the skin of a Newborn baby – He has undergone Reformation.

But the word that we are interested in is “TRANSFORMED”.

“Transform” comes from the word “Trans” and “Form” – “Trans” meaning Change; while “Form” meaning what has been made.

Transformation means changing from one form to another.

“Destiny” is a word that has its root in the word “Destination”.

Destination means where you intend to end on your Journey.

“Destiny” is another word that has a relation with what we call: “Predestination”.

If we want to put it in a Mordern Language, we will say that Destiny is a “Programmed Destination”.

If you asked a Pilot; they will tell you – When they want to fly from Lagos to London, they go into their Computer in the Plane, they Programmed in London from Nigeria to get the route that they should follow.

After they have Programmed it, the rest is easy. As soon as they climb into the Sky, they go into what they called “Cruise Control” – Everything becomes Automatic and they are just there to make sure that if there is any turbulence, they go either higher or lower if they need to et cetera et cetera. Most of the time, they are just enjoying the ride like you because the Destination has been Programmed.

… That is what Destiny means – Where you are supposed to End!

Like in Jeremiah 1: 4-5; God said that before I formed thee, I knew thee.

Why? – When you are still in your mother’s womb, before you came into this world at all; I have settled your Future.

And in Jeremiah 29:11; God who is a “Good God” said: I know the thoughts I think towards you; thoughts of Good, not of Evil that you might have an “Expected End”.

… In other words, God said that: I want you to end well.

I Pray for everyone of you listening to me today or reading now on the Label of DMC – You will End well (Amen).

Now, God is a “Good God” but He is absolutely Supreme!

Psalms 115:3 says that our God is “The Original Majesty”; He does as He Pleases – Just whatever He wanted to do, that is what He does.

In Revelation 4:11; it says that God created all things for His Pleasure.

So, when we are talking about Destiny; God decides the “Expected End” as He Pleases.

Romans 9: 10-14 talks about Esau and Jacob – The Bible says that before they were born; God had already said: Jacob I love, Esau I hate. The Elder will serve the Younger.

And the Bible went further to say: How can God do that? – He said that are you big enough to query Him? You better thank Him that He didn’t make you a snake. He could have done so and there is Nothing you could have done about it.

… He is Supreme, He does as He Pleases.

It Pleases Him for Example for you to be alive today – Hallelujah!

I mean Someone was reporting an Accident not too long ago – A Plane crashed on some houses; the People who are sleeping on their beds (Not travelling), the Plane came to kill them on their beds.

Who are you to query God? – He said that: I made everything for my Pleasure; I do as I Please. And you better understand that one, otherwise you won’t enjoy your Life.

But I believed that it has Pleased the Almighty God to make the Future of certain People Glorious – If you are one of them, shout Hallelujah (Hallelujah).

You see because if you read Romans 9: 17-18; the Bible says that concerning Pharaoh – The reason I made you, the reason I Promoted you, the reason I made you the biggest King of your time is that when I drowned you, everybody will know that there is Someone called “The King of Kings”.

Which is one of the reasons that if God is Elevating you, you better humble yourself.

Why? – The Elders has a saying that if a cockroach falls, Nobody hears the Sound; if the Ant falls, the Ground doesn’t shake but if an Elephant falls, they will feel the Tremor not only in the bush but also in the Hut!

My God will Promote you – Amen. But when He is Promoting you, be careful. Because if “Ordinary Messenger” dies; Nobody Pays attention – They don’t announce it; but if the President dies, the whole world will hear the News.

… God will Promote you, remain Humble, don’t struggle with the Almighty God as He does as He Pleases!

So, everybody has a Destiny – A Good One for that matter. He wants you to end well – That is what the Bible says.

Now, for the Firstborns, their own Destiny is Special!

God says that because they are the First to come out of the womb, He says that they are Mine – All Firstborns belong to God!

And the Interesting thing is that, that was one of the reason why many Firstborns are very “Difficult Children”.

You don’t believed me, ask the Parents – They will tell you that Majority of children that are Firstborns are very difficult ones.

Why? – Because they belongs to God and you are claiming them to be yours (Parents). That is why those who are Wise, those who knows Spiritual Matters, they do what we call “Redemption of the Firstborns” – They came to the Almighty God with “Special Offerings” for the Firstborns and all of a sudden, they Change.

God says that as for the Firstborns, their Portion will be Doubled – Double Portion. Deuteronomy 21: 15-17; the Portion that the Parents must give to the Firstborns must be double.

Unfortunately, Destiny could be Transformed – It could be Transformed for the Better or for the Worst.

In 1 Samuel 2:30; God said to Eli – Eli, I said concerning you and your family that you will Stand before me forever. He said but now I say: Be it far from me – I changed my Mind and He gave the reasons. He said that because those who honours me, I will honour and those who will not honour me, I will lightly esteemed.

I mean you know the Proverbs – It is the White Man who made Pencil, they are also the one who made eraser.

… Don’t mess with God – God is Love and He is also the Consuming Fire. He can Make and Unmake; He can Write and Erase.

“Double Portion!” That was what Elisha asked when Elijah said I’m going now – What do you want my son? Then he (Elisha) said that I want a Double Portion of your Spirit.

Do you know why Elijah said that is a difficult thing for you to ask?

Because Elisha was not actually the “Biological Son” of Elijah – He was just an “Adopted Son”.

You are asking for the “Double Portion” of a Firstborn. The boy said: Yes sir. Adopted or not Adopted. Not only the Firstborn but I am the “Only One” you have anyway.

… Thank God that he (Elisha) got what he wanted.

I Pray for every Firstborns today or as you are reading now on the Label of DMC – God will give you “Double Portion” Blessings – Amen!

But then you have some cases like in Genesis 49: 1-4 – Jacob was about to die, he gathered all his children together and he said: Come, let me tell you what will happen to you in the Future.

And he started with his Firstborn, he said: Hey Reuben, you are my Firstborn, the Excellency of my Power. You are supposed to get a “Double Portion”; he said but you will not excel – Your Destiny is Transformed.

Why? – Because Papa had a Second Wife and Reuben when Paoa wasn’t looking decided to “Help Papa” – He felt that Papa wasn’t doing Justice to the New Wife. The Bible said that Paoa heard it and kept quiet and waited till the day he was going to die. He said that you did that to me; you are supposed to be Number One (1) but you will be Number Nothing.

Firstborns, listen to me; this Morning is not a Morning for jokes – If there is anything that you have done that will cause God to Change His Good Plans for your Life; may God forgive you (Amen).

1 Samuel 15: 1-28; God Picked up a farmer’s boy called Saul – Incidentally, he happened to be the Firstborn of his father. God Promoted him and made him King – The first King Israel ever had.

And God sent him on errand – Go and do this for me. And he got there and begin to do as He Pleased.

God said: No Problem; I Destined you to be King, you messed up and so I take my Kingdom away from you since you didn’t even Value it.

Occasionally, God will put you in a Position that you yourself knows that you don’t deserve it. When that one happens, be careful – The Higher you go, the more careful you must be; the Higher God raises you, the more Humble you must be!

Every Good Plans that God has concerning you will come to Pass in Jesus Name – Amen!

I told you about what happened after Lekki 1998 – You remembered that “Great Gathering”; those of you who were alive then.

Millions of People gathered at Lekki (Lagos State) for the first Holy Ghost Congress in Year 1998 – Crowd as far as the eyes could see.

When I said that they should take the Decision Cards (Those who gave their lives to Jesus Christ); and put in my boot. They said sir, the cards are so many and no car can carry it.

After that occasion, I was in the Camp at Night Thanking God – I have never seen such a thing like this before – Thank You my God; you are such a Great God. That something like this could happen in Nigeria of all Places.

Suddenly I heard God spoke to me between 2am and 3am in the Night – Son, Yes Lord. Bend down. And I bent down quickly because I don’t know what was about to happen.

He asked me to draw a figure of a Man on the sand and I did – Zero for Head, one line for the body and another line for hand.

And He said: Stand Up. And I stood up. He said: Clean Off what you have drawn – And I did. By now I was trembling because I knew by now that God is about to say something.

He said: Son, you are Thanking me for what I have done – But if you ever forget who is in Charge; I will wipe you out like you have done to the figure that you draw and Nobody will ever remembered that you even came into this world.

So, when People say to me: Ha, you are so Humble! Do you think that I’m Mad? Do you think that I want to be wiped out?

God said to King Saul – You are Nothing. I made you King, now i send you on an errand, you get there and begin to do what Pleases you. Okay, go back to where you are coming from.

And you think that when God has Promoted Somebody and He has dropped thar Somebody. You don’t go back to the Ground; you go below

Because before God Picked Up King Saul to make him King; at least he was a “Normal Farmer Boy”. As soon as God dropped him, the Bible says that an Evil Spirit from the Lord came and troubled him. He wasn’t just a Normal Fellow again, he became Mad.

What you will do that will cause the Almighty to drop you; you will never do it again – Amen!

Now, let us just take one Special Case so that we can see what we are talking about when we talk about Transformation of Destiny.

In Genesis 48: 11-20; the Bible talks about two (2) boys – Children of Joseph: Manasseh was the first born; Ephraim was the second born. Joseph brought them to his father as Papa was old, he was about to die. Please, Pray for my children before you go.

Because Papa’s eyes were now dim because of Old Age; Joseph Placed the first born where the Right hand of Papa will land – That’s the Place for the first born; and the second born he (Joseph) Placed where the Left hand of Papa will land.

And all of a sudden, Papa crossed his hands and Placed the Right hand on the Head of the second born and the Left hand on the Head of the first born.

Ha, Joseph said – Papa it is not so. Papa said that I know what I’m doing. I can’t see by my Physical eyes but I’m being guided by the Holy Spirit.

And then he blessed the two (2) of them and the Bible says that he Placed Ephraim before Manasseh – Switched their Destinies!

Then what follows – By the time you get to Deuteronomy 33:17; Ephraim the second born has Prospered ten times more than Manasseh the first born. We are talking of thousands for Manasseh and talking about ten thousands for Ephraim.

And what followed – Suddenly, Ephraim became Proud and then he began to do all kinds of funny things and God kept on sending Warnings, Sermons like that of this Morning to him.

… Ephraim, what is wrong with you? I gave you the Destiny thar belongs to Somebody else; behave yourself!

He said: Let me enjoy myself.

Prophets upon Prophers came to Ephraim – God is warning you – Listen! He wasn’t Paying attention.

Until finally, we got to Hosea 4:17 – Hosea opened his mouth to Proclaim what God has said: Ephraim has joined himself to Idols, leave him alone. Don’t bother to talk for him anymore, he has made up his Mind.

And then God now Pronounced in Hossa 5:9 – He said: Ephraim shall be Desolate.

Do you know the meaning of Desolate? – Nothing left!

And then you now go to Revelation 7: 4-8; and we see the Final Result – Ephraim has become completely forgotten, Manasseh has been restored.

Not only was Manasseh restored, he was even Promoted above his father, Joseph – God was selecting People; twelve thousand (12,000) from each Tribe to form the one hundred and forty four thousand (144,000) Special Group at the End of Age. And He began to mention them – Twelve thousand (12,000) from this, twelve thousand (12,000) from that and He then mentioned Manasseh long before He mentioned Joseph. Ephraim was no longer there.

God can Transformed from Good to Bad and from Bad to Good – It’s all in His Hands.

You see because as Great as God is, as Mighty as God is; He gives Man an opportunity to decide.

Deuteronomy 30: 19-20; He said: Hey, I call Heaven and Earth to be my Witness. That I’m Placing before you Blessings and Curses; Life and Death – Choose. That is what God said.

And He said: Take my Advice – Choose Life so that you might live and your Seeds. But He said that the Choice is yours.

The Bible says in Revelation 3:20 – He said: Behold I Stand by the door and I knock. If any Man hears my Voice and opens the door, I will come in.

What does that means? – You have the Right to say I’m not opening my door.

And He says: No Problem, I leave you alone. But a day is coming when you will also knock on my own Door in Heaven and I will say because you didn’t open your door to me on Earth; I’m not opening my Door to you in Heaven.

… At the End of the Day, you will meet me – I’m not just the Alpha, I am the Omega.

If you read that Genesis Chapter 49; where Jacob was Pronouncing Blessings and Curses upon his children. He said in Verses 5-7 (Genesis 49: 5-7) – Levi, I am going to scatter you in Israel.

But then one day in Exodus 32: 25-26; when God needed People to assist Moses to deal with a Rebellious Group of People. And Moses said: Who is on the Lord’s Side? And every child of Levi said that we are on the Lord’s Side.

Ha, God looked down from Heaven and said: Levi, you are on my Side?

And in that case – I am on your Side too. From this day onwards, Levi you become my First born.

The Lord is asking you Firstborns; He is asking you that are not even the Firstborns – On whose Side are you?

… The Choice is yours!

ALTAR CALL

Those of you who has not given your Life to Jesus Christ – Each time, we will be crying to you: Surrendee your Life to Jesus Christ. And you will say: Leave me alone, I want to enjoy myself. If I become Born Again now, I won’t be able to commit Adultery, Drink, Smoke. Leave me alone as I must enjoy Life.

God is calling you again now – Who is on the Lord’s Side? Are you Crossing over to the Lord’s Side or are you saying No? God controls Destiny; He can Transform it.

If you want your Destiny to be Good and to remain forever Good; and you have not yet given your Life to Jesus Christ, you better come now.

I’m going to count from one (1) to seven (7); before I say seven (7); come and Stand before me. I will Pray for the Salvation of your Soul. If you don’t come, that’s No Problem, the Choice is yours. I’m counting now!

Now, those of you who are already infront, cry to God – I’m not struggling against You anymore. I sureender my Life to you; have Mercy on me Lord, save my Soul, forgive my Previous sins and I will serve You for the rest of my Life.

Go ahead, talk to the Almighty God.

And those of us who are already sure of our Salvation; Please stretch your hands towards these People, intercede for them – Pray that the One who saved your Soul will save their own Souls also. Pray that the Almighty God will have Mercy on them and forgive their sins and save their Souls and give them a Brand New Beginning.

Thank You Father, Glory be to God. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
