Some people believe they are poor because they were born to be poor. Some people believe they are gay because they were destined to be one since birth. Does this mean some people are born to be murderers, to be addicts, or to be evil? Are people destined to be who they are because of fate? Or can they create a better future, because of faith?
In farming, I have learned that every seed has the potential to become a fruitful tree, but it can also become a bad tree if no one takes care of it. However, a seed does not become fruitful on its own, the farmer who owns it must work to bring out its full potential. He must plant it where it is best suited and nurture it based on how it was created.
Genesis 1:28 tells us that God has blessed us with what we need to become fruitful. This means He has given each of us a seed that we should nurture in order to live in abundance.
No one is destined to be poor! People become poor only when they do not use their strength to work and develop their character to become rich. Do you know that most of the richest people today started with very little? Many of them were even born poor!
No one is destined to be gay! People become gay when they reject how God created them. Though the world may have influenced them, they became gay because they chose to.
No one is destined to be evil! According to Psalm 127:3, "...children are a gift of the Lord." Like a seed, each child has the potential to become great, but a person becomes evil when he rejects the ways of the Lord. Do you know that many of the great men and women in history were born into very challenging circumstances, but by faith, they learned to overcome and excel?
You are not the product of your past. Instead, you are the product of your choices!
