Scripture opens not with humanity, but with God.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” These first words establish the foundation of all Kingdom understanding. Before systems, before culture, before nations, before sin — there was God. He is not a participant in history; He is the Author of it. Creation reveals His sovereignty, His intentionality, and His order. The earth was without form and void, yet the Spirit of God hovered. Chaos was present, but it was never sovereign. Light came because God spoke.

Every act of creation is structured and purposeful. God separates light from darkness, waters from land, day from night. Order emerges from divine speech. This pattern reveals a Kingdom principle: wherever God speaks, alignment follows. Disorder cannot remain where His authority is welcomed.

This is the culmination of our journey — a sacred closing and a holy commissioning.

Our Ultimate Destiny

Scripture Focus: Romans 8:28–29 — “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son…”

God’s purpose has always been clear. Though the paths He designs for each life may differ, the destination is always the same: to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ.

Word Weapons:

Philippians 3:10 — “That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection…” The goal of salvation is not religion — it is intimacy and transformation.

1 John 3:1–3 — “…when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.” Vision produces transformation — beholding produces becoming.

The ultimate goal of Jesus is not merely to save us from eternal damnation — it is to glorify us in Him by making us sons and daughters who carry His nature, His character, and His image.

Transformation happens in stages:

First — Regeneration: We receive the Spirit of Christ. Only that which is born of the Spirit can know spiritual things. Transformation begins from the inside out.

Second — Transformation: Christ begins to grow within us. This is not us trying to become like Christ — it is Christ forming within us.

Third — Union: We become joined with Him. A fulfilled life is not religious perfection — it is living union with Christ.

This is not an outward process — it is an inward transformation. Not Not behavior modification — but nature transformation. Not religious activity — but spiritual union. Not external performance — but internal formation.

A fulfilled life is not built on creeds and rituals — it is built on a living, breathing, dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ.

This will not happen overnight. It requires hunger. It requires pursuit. It requires devotion. It requires intimacy. It requires communion.

Deep calls unto deep. (Psalm 42:7)

Our ultimate destiny is Christlikeness. Our ultimate calling is union. Our ultimate purpose is transformation. Our ultimate life is communion.

WELCOME TO DAY 39 OF DIVINE HUNGER — 40 DAYS OF DEVOTION, PRAYER, FASTING & MEDITATION.

Today’s theme calls us into surrender, humility, and spiritual transformation:

Emptiness Precedes Fullness

Scripture Focus: Philippians 2:5–7 — “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.”

Jesus Himself is our model of surrender. He emptied Himself so that the fullness of God’s purpose could be revealed through Him.

Word Weapons:

1 Kings 19:21 — “So Elisha arose and followed Elijah, and became his servant.” Transformation begins when the old life is left behind.

Isaiah 43:18–21 — “Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing…” God cannot fill what we refuse to release.

Matthew 23:12 — “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” Humility is the gateway to promotion in God’s Kingdom.

Most of us long for transformation, but we are afraid of change. Yet spiritual development begins when we empty ourselves of everything that is not of God.

This is the way of Christ. Jesus had glory, authority, privilege, and status — yet He renounced it all. Even Jesus made room for God to operate through His life by surrendering Himself completely to the Father.

It is the same with us. God fills what is empty — but He cannot fill what we refuse to release.

Emptiness is not loss — it is preparation. Emptiness is not weakness — it is positioning. Emptiness is not defeat — it is alignment.

We empty ourselves by:

• Letting go of old ways.
• Releasing old identities
• Surrendering old priorities
• Abandoning old patterns
• Trusting God with what we treasure

Emptying prepares us to receive the grace God has already prepared for us.

The life of Abraham teaches us this truth. Isaac was God’s promise — and Abraham’s treasure. His love for the promise began to compete with his love for God. God required Abraham to empty himself to make room for greater blessing.

Every believer must face this question: What is occupying the place that only God should hold?

Will you humble yourself before God? Will you purge everything that competes with Him? Will you make room for His presence? Will you create space for His glory?

God’s fullness always follows surrender.

This devotion is a call to release, surrender, humility, and transformation. The fullness you desire is on the other side of the emptiness you resist.
