SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY: John 1:1-14
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Memory Verse: Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. Isaiah 60:15
An impactful destiny is well grounded and has a profound impact on lives in every area. To be impactful, you must seek to conquer and use your conquest to empower others to also conquer in life. Impact is not only in 'making it', but also in helping others to make it. A man who is saved from the kingdom of darkness and uses his salvation to bring others to salvation is impactful. A man who is prosperous and great and raises others to prosper and become great is impactful. When Jesus came to the earth, He was the only one who had light in a world of gross darkness, but because of His impact, numerous people are walking in spiritual light today.
The first key to having a life of impact is approaching life from a spiritual perspective, rather than merely a physical one. A destiny that will make an impact must recognise that life goes beyond what is seen and thereby partner with God for effects. Impact demands that we live beyond self-gratification and the accumulation of mundane things in life, and destiny is beyond merely drinking, eating, and playing around. A man of impact doesn't just live to satisfy himself, his belly, and other appetites. A destiny that makes an impact must have a vision to pursue, people to raise, and the Kingdom to expand.
There are battles to fight to make an impact in life; it necessitates stepping out of our comfort zones. We can't talk about effects and expect a bed of roses and a life devoid of any challenge. impact is impossible without challenges, and life becomes dull without challenges. The man who wants an average life can have a smooth rise, but the man who wants to make an impact for God and the Kingdom must expect opposition and great exertions. Many people give up the moment a challenge arises in life. However, what you need is to put up a fight of faith and lay hold on the victory by bringing out the best of the situation. A life that will make an impact will not give up in the face of challenges.
For a destiny to make an impact, it must avoid distractions and cultivate the ability to focus. Refrain from things and relationships that don't align with your desired direction in life. Your ability to avoid distractions and concentrate on what you are doing is essential in living a life of impact.
Finally, a destiny that will make an impact lives with eternity in focus. It is only when one makes an impact in life and reaches heaven that one has truly lived. What is the use of making an impact on Earth if the person, thereafter, goes to hell? It is compulsory to live with the consciousness that after death, there is a place to give an account of how you lived.
