“Someone famous once said, our destiny is not in the stars but ourselves.”

The Salvation Army in Kaitaia

In the commemorative edition of WAR CRY to mark 150 years of The Salvation Army it says about William Booth, the founder, that he found his destiny when he stepped forward to speak at an open-air meeting outside the Blind Beggar Pub in East London.

He made also up his mind that God would have all of him. That was from the day he got the poor of London on his heart and when he caught a vision of all Jesus Christ could do with them.

Our destiny is not in the stars. Our destiny is not in ourselves. Our destiny is in God.
