CONQUERING THE VANITY OF DESTINY


ECCLESIASTES 2:1-11

King Solomon who had tested everything good on earth is telling me and you that they are all vanity upon vanity. There is nothing new under the Sun today which King Solomon has not experienced during his life time. Whatever position we are occupying today, somebody had once occupied such position. So there is nothing new under the sun which sons of men have not experienced in the past.

Looking at the Global challenges and situation of things, the world is changing with innovation and creative events that bring about civilization and changes in the society. All these things had common events with what happened in the days old. Civilization comes and civilization goes, life continues. As people are born daily, in the same manner people dies as well. God had not created any to be poor but circumstance of destiny is of a making process. Some destinies tell at the beginning while others speak volume in the end. But better is the end of a matter than the beginning.

ECCLESIASTES 7:8
(8)       Better is the end of a matter than its beginning
      Better to be patient than to be haughty in spirit”

That is the scoring point of every destiny. The beginning does not count but what counts is the end. How did He end up? Your end speaks volumes than beginning. People mocks the beginning because they are short sighted by nature to see the destination. But it is only a man of Holy Ghost can fathom the end with the eyes of the spirit which is in the head.

ECCLESIASTES 2:14
(14)     “The wise one has his eyes in the head, but the
            Stupid one is walking in darkness. I have also
            Come to realize that there is one outcome that
            Befalls all of them”

Super ferrous destiny is end of discussion. It begins with tattered and battered jingles, awkward to imagine and confusing to men. At the middle of phase, it builds a hedge of protection and calls for safety of His subject. At the semi-quarter of the phase, the pronouncement of the destiny begins and attracts announcement. And the announcement is indefinite. Now this is the climax of destiny and it continues to increase in speaking volumes till the end. And that is called divine.

The futility is the ideology of experience irrespective of obstacles encountered that made it the futile race. I grumble because after His achievement he could not carry them to his grave yard but left it to and undisciplined and non-challant heir to manage the sweat of a great Hero and King of Israel. Is that not vanity? It is vanity to the end.


ECCLESIASTES 5:13
(13)     “There is a great tragedy that I have seen under the
            Sun: riches that were hoarded by their owner to his
            Own harm.
(14)     Those riches were lost because of disastrous venture
            And when he becomes a father to a son, he has nothing
            Left in his possession
(15)     Just as one came from his mother’s womb, naked he will
            Go away, just as he came. And he cannot carry away
Anything for all his hard work
(16)     This too is a great tragedy: Exactly as he came, so he
            Will go away; and what profit is there to the one who
            Keeps working hard for the wind?”

God is calling on His own people today to leave a life of sacrifice through obedient to the gospel of truth about our lord Jesus Christ. Believe in that name and lead a life full of Holy Ghost which has great compensation and reward in the end. King David, King Solomon and other Kings in Israel did not have the opportunity to receive the Holy Ghost. But I and you are opportune to encounter such a great force and power that travails even in the Den of Lions. I t was with Daniel in His Days.

DANIEL 5:12
(12)     “For as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding
            Interpreting of dreams and showing of hard sentences,
            And dissolving of every doubts, were found in the same
            Daniel, whom the King named Beltshazzar: now let Daniel
            be called and he will show the interpretation”

That is Holy Ghost in Operation; you can only conquer futility or vanity by the power of the Holy Ghost. This was the only man that does not Joke with prayers to the extent that his opponent used it against him and he was thrown in to the Den of Lions. And God intervened.

DANIEL 6:3
(3)     “Now Daniel  was distinguishing himself over other
high officials and Satraps, for there was an
extraordinary spirit in Him, and the King intended
to elevate him over the entire kingdom”

DANIEL 6:10
(1)               “ But as soon as Daniel knew that the decree had
Been signed, he went to his house which had the
Windows his roof chamber open toward Jerusalem.
And three times a day he got down on his knees and
Prayed and offered praise before his God, as he had
Regularly does prior to this”



 This is why Prayer is synonymous to evangelism; this two brings down God’s presence in one’s life. What people fights most is the source of strength to your destiny. When they discover the source of your strength they can do anything to stop you from that direction. It happened to Samson, they used Delilah to discover his source of strength and curbed it, it also happened to Daniel,. They discover that His source of Strength was prayer ; they nearly killed him on trying to curb it. Jesus came with the gospel of peace and they trying to curb it made Him the King of King and The lord of lords. Now what is your source of strength Guard it with Jealousy even on to death. Because that where your morning Sunshine will arise.

REVELATION 12:11
(2)               “And They overcame him by the blood of the lamb
And by the word of their testimony; and they loved
Not their lives unto the death”

Now, what is our testimony and what should it be?

MARK 16:15
(15)     “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world
            And preach the gospel to every creature.
(16)     He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
            But he that believeth not shall be damned.
(17)     And these signs shall follow them that believe;
            In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall
Speak with new tongues
(18)     They shall take up serpents, and if they drink any
            Deadly things, it shall not hurt them; they shall
            Lay hand on the sick and they shall recover”


The testimony alone which is the preaching the good news command signs and wonders. The signs and wonders that follow the good news is to confirm to those that believes that this is the truth. Just as we said earlier that prayer and evangelism brings down God’s power of Holy Ghost. And this will solve the problem of vanity in one’s life.
