While it is true, that if you must fulfill your God given assignment in life; there are those you must meet; it is equally true, that if you must fulfill your life’s assignment, there are those you must miss. The problem with so many people today is that they are fraternizing with those they ought to miss, while they are very far from those they ought to meet.
For Saul to become king over Israel, God had ordained for him to meet with Samuel. As far as Saul’s enthronement was concerned, Samuel was not someone to miss; but someone to meet. Imagine the way it all happened. It was not Saul’s arrangement; it was God working in man both to will, and to do of His own pleasure. It was a search for his father’s lost asses that led Saul to meeting Samuel. There are situations the Lord allows our way which look so “messy” and you may really not be able to figure out any good coming out; but, at the background, you will find God moving you to your divinely appointed port of glorification.
There is always a “must meet” and a “must miss”; that your heart and eyes be divinely sensored to embrace your “must meet” and to avoid your “must miss” is a very needed prayer. The young prophet in 1 kings 13:1 who went by the Word of the Lord to cry against the altar at Bethel during the evil reign of Jeroboam King of Israel; was given a charge by the Lord not to eat bread, drink water nor enter into any house in Bethel. He was to finish his assignment and return through another way to Judah. Everything went well for him, until he submitted himself to the counsel of a Bethel based prophet; who he was to miss. His fraternity with this old prophet who came in the name of the Lord, at the expense of what God had earlier on spoken to him; ruined his ministry and ended his life.
Many have been ruined by their marriage to those they were meant to miss. Some have to be ruined in business by their associations with those they were ordained to miss. If you will stay with the principles of God’s Word and stay open to the leading of the Holy Spirit; you will embrace your “must meet” and avoid your “must miss”.
