My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. – Psalm 139:15-16
Moving on from last week’s sharing on “insertion point”, we come to the third of the 5 aspects of activating Kingdom DNA: “speaking prophetic messages of the destinies of individuals and organizations”. Delving into the topic of destiny, God’s Kingdom desire for us, provides an excellent backdrop to ponder on “what is Kingdom DNA?”.
As God created the world, He encoded a “DNA” into creation that gives it the ability and natural propensity to “be fruitful and multiply”. We term this “Kingdom DNA” because of its design to compel all creation to fulfill Christ Kingdom passion – the Genesis 1:28 Agenda.
Furthermore, Psalm 139:15-16 eloquently encapsulates the idea of Kingdom DNA for us as individuals. It speaks of God weaving us together and seeing our bodies even before they are formed. Perhaps the psalmist, even without understanding the science behind DNA, has described how God “coded” the weaving of our DNA strands. Verse 16 transposed this idea of “coding” another step further – from our “bodies” to “the days ordained for us”. As God has “ordained”, through physical DNA, our bodily features, emotions, intelligence, and talents, He has also encoded into His “book” our purpose and significance in His Kingdom vision, even before we breathed our first breath. Our Kingdom DNA, which includes our physical DNA, contains God’s code of our purpose and significance in His 1:28 Agenda. Our Kingdom DNA tells the story of our destiny, even before one of those days came to be.
As we shared a few weeks back, sin has inhibited our Kingdom DNA, corrupting our function in the 1:28 Agenda. Christ’s sacrifice opened the door for us to reverse that trend. One of the keys to that reversal, to activating our Kingdom DNA, is to speak forth the authority of the prophetic message of our destiny, the heart of God encoded in our Kingdom DNA – just as Ezekiel spoke life to the dry bones (Ezekiel 37) and Jesus spoke living water to the Samaritan woman (John 4).
Market Place Meditation and Prayer
- What is the destiny God encoded into my Kingdom DNA? How is that DNA being expressed today?
- What is the destiny of my family, my church, my community, my company, my sphere of influence…?
Lord, open our eyes, as you opened Ezekiel’s eyes, to equip us as agents of destiny, to proclaim the life of Kingdom DNA into places of death, to speak living water to the dried & parched land of our market places.
