B - Believes in the Father's will

This believe here is not just mental accent, it is an active believe. It is 'putting your money where your mouth is'.

 ‘We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak.’ (II Cor.4:13)

I have often heard about people fighting over the will of a family member. Sure you have a few examples too. The only reason why they have serious argument over the will is because they believe in the will of the dead person. They believe the ‘will’ holds the key to their ‘cheese’ or ‘success’. They have the assurance that if the ‘will’ is favourable to them, then it would translate into good for them. Often times people result into fights, litigations in court just to enforce their right to a earthly will. This is what people do for a ‘will’ that is limited in its offer and scope.

Our heavenly father has a far better will and by every standard incomparable with any other. The question for you therefore is why you don’t believe in it. If you don’t believe, it’s either you don’t know about such a will or you don’t think God has the ability to make His will come to pass.

In the former it should be clear to you now that God has a will for your life and it is a complete package (Jer 29:11). Don’t try to accept only the part you like, leaving out other aspects of His will.

In the latter, I would say that isn’t it strange that you can believe in the will of a dead person and not in God who lives forever. Who is more powerful between a dead man and a living God. 
If you say you are a child of God, then it beholds you to believe in your Father’s will. Your success and accomplishment of destiny is tied to this. Remember also that the bible contains the Father’s will and is available to you always.

A - Accepted the Father's will as a way of living and dying.

A will is a set plan and program that a person puts forward and expects that events and people conform to it. 

In the same way we have will for our lives, God also has a will for our lives. Your will may not be wrong but God's will should take precedent over every other. The bible contains God's will for your life.

You have to understand that you are the answer to God’s will. You didn’t chose to be born rather it was God’s decision. Does it even occur to you that He intended you for something at the point he envisioned you. The limitation in your personal will is that it is always less than you. 

To illustrate this better, you were not able to give yourself a name at birth. Culturally names are quite unique in every clime and people usually want to communicate a message, hope or prayer through names. The name you currently answer to was given to you by those who thought they have the right to give you such. People like your father, mother, grandparents, relatives and the likes. They gave names according to their expectation and hope for you. By giving you names, it means that they in a way transferring a will to you. You cannot do anything about the name at that time because it is their will.

This is the same way your Heavenly father gave you a name and will to live for. The difference is that He has the perfect, flawless name and will for you. Your earthly kits and kin may miss the mark in giving a direction for your life but God cannot. It is not consistent with His word. And remember that He honors His word more than His name. He watches over His words to perform it.


Accepting His will as a way of living and dying is the only way to reach the height He designed when He first created you.
