PURPOSE

Isaiah 46:10-11

Message

Before you were born, there was a specific task that God had earmarked for you as an individual. Jeremiah 1:5 made this clear:

    Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

God placed you in the family you were born into for a purpose. He put you where you can fulfil His original purpose for your life. I pray that God will speak to you concerning your purpose and why He has put you in the family you were born into.

Everyone has a specific purpose for which they were born into a family, state, and country. For example, in Exodus 3:1-12, God specifically told Moses, "Your purpose is to bring my people out of Egypt to come and worship me on this mountain." In Joshua 1:1-8, God told Joshua that it was his assignment to divide the land among His people. In 1 Kings 19:19-21, He let Elisha know, "What you have been doing thus far is farming, and you are doing well, but the work I have for you is to be my prophet."

When you stop focusing on money and you begin to do what God put you on the earth to do, you will not only get Money, but you will also get much more than that. When Elisha took an early retirement from farming and became a prophet, the result was found in 2 Kings 4:12-13. He became so influential that he could say to the Shunammite woman. "Do you want me to talk to the king or the Commander-in-chief for you? Whom do you want me to talk to for you?" You must trust God that He will not put you in this world to suffer. Once you have discovered His purpose for your life, start walking in it because that is how You can find fulfilment and all-round joy. He said in Jeremiah 29:11:

    For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and hot of evil, to give you an expected end.

It is God's will that you should know His specific purpose for your life and walk in it. If you are yet to know His purpose for your life, go before Him in prayers today and ask Him. He will reveal it to you and give you the grace to walk in it, in Jesus' name.

Bible In One Year:
Proverbs 1-3

Hymn:
In Christ Alone

Prayer Point:
Father, show me Your purpose for my life and help me never to stray from it, in Jesus' name.

King James Version

Isaiah 46:10-11

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: [11] Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
RCCG Hymn

In Christ Alone

  1. In Christ alone my hope is found
    He is my light, my strength, my song
    This Cornerstone, this solid ground
    Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
    What heights of love, what depths of peace
    When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
    My Comforter, my All in All
    Here in the love of Christ I stand
  2. In Christ alone, who took on flesh
    Fullness of God in helpless Babe
    This gift of love and righteousness
    Scomed by the ones He came to save
    'Til on that cross as Jesus died
    The wrath of God was satisfied
    For every sin on Him was laid
    Here in the death of Christ I live, I live
  3. There in the ground His body lay
    Light of the world by darkness slain
    Then bursting forth in glorious Day
    Up from the grave He rose again
    And as He stands in victory
    Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
    For I am His and He is mine
    Bought with the precious blood of Christ
  4. No guilt in life, no fear in death
    This is the power of Christ in me
    From a life's first cry to final breath
    Jesus commands my destiny
    No power of hell, no scheme of man
    Could ever pluck me from His hand
    'Til He retums or calls me home
    Here in the power of Christ I stand
