Isaiah 43:7, 1 Samuel 12:24, John 17:4, Genesis 1:27, Ecclesiastes 12:13–14, Gen 26:1-14, Joshua 1:1-9, John 4:31-34, Rom 8:28

Men and brethren, what are you living for and what is keeping you from living fully for the thing you were created to do? The Bible makes it abundantly clear that God created man and that He created him for His glory (Isaiah 43:7). Therefore, the ultimate purpose of man, according to the Bible, is simply to glorify God. We fulfill our purpose of glorifying God also by living our lives in relationship and faithful service to Him (1 Samuel 12:24 and John 17:4). Since God created man in His image (Genesis 1:27), man’s purpose cannot be fulfilled apart from Him. King Solomon tried living for his own pleasure, yet at the end of his life he concluded that the only worthwhile life is one of honor and obedience to God (Ecclesiastes 12:13–14). May you fulfil your destiny in grand style.

Today i speak to peaople who feel unworthy, unimportant, average, lonely, sad, and without purpose. At one time, that was the cry of my heart…what is my purpose God? How could you ever use me? Therefore, the first thing I discovered about purpose is to study the life of men who had lived purposeful lives and learn from their mistakes. Here me, if you hang out with chickens, you’re going to cluck and if you hang out with eagles, you’re going to fly. According to Bishop TD Jakes he says “Don’t focus on the problem that you forget the promise. The harvest may not look white but it is white; Jesus said “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” John 4:35. You never announced the obvious. Success does not feel successful. The greatest business opportunities are born in a crisis, in a middle of famine, in the middle of economic turndown; the greatest turning points are made and the greatest friendships are born out of crisis. God ordered your steps in the chaos, in the storm, in the dilemma. Therefore, don’t miss your opportunity of a life time in a pity party.”  Be blessed. 

In Genesis 26 we shall see the encouraging account of Isaac’s experience in a place called Gerar – in the land of a people called the Philistines. However verse 14 states that the Philistines envied Isaac. In the midst of God blessing Isaac, those around him became jealous. They didn’t understand that Isaac’s wealth wasn’t from his own efforts as such, but it was from his God. Even when they took his blessing,

Men and brethren, when God blesses a man who is purposeful, some people around him or associated with him may become envious. And some people don’t mind being friends or acquainted with him as long as they are (in their opinion) stronger than him in some way or at least equal to him – whether it be financially, spiritually or otherwise. However as soon as God blesses him and promotes him to another level, they can’t handle it. This is what happened with Isaac and the Philistines. They even took his blessing but Isaac moved away – no fight, no fuss. He puts up no resistance whatsoever. And God blessed him again and again and again.

According to the scripture, the book of Joshua was not written to wandering Israel. Wandering Israel was over – died out with Moses (Joshua 1:2). Joshua’s generation is a possessing generation (Joshua 1:3-9). They were not wandering, nomadic or hoping things work out; they have now come into the promise land and it is for people who are radically ready, prepared without doubt to possess the promises of God. But it is not easy, it is an action book. It is not for everyone but for people that have the desired to war and claim the promises of God, people when they get to the water that is not moving will say, the water will divide when I get there; people that will come around war that wont move until it comes tumbling down rather than people who will sit back and hoping things gets better; these are the kind of people who possessed the land

God says, I have given you the land to possess it; I have given it to you but you have to take it. Just because you have not possessed it does not mean it haven’t been given; just because it has been given does not mean you have possessed it. There could be a disconnection between what God has given and what you are radically prepared enough to take because things generally don’t just work out right; you make it work out right. Every event is invented by purposeful people for a purposeful living. God says I have given it to you but now you got to make it work.

The book of Joshua challenges us to possessed but the book of Ephesians said we should walk in it “Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will” Eph 1:5. Ephesians is the book of the type of Christians who are ready to make things happen. God said I have determined your end from the beginning. That means you are neither a mistake nor will you end up as an accidental discharged; the circumstances surrounding your birth might not be the best circumstances; but God made it for you to be here.

God gave you a ‘WILL’ that will make you purposeful. The option creates the praise. If there are no options, there is no selection. It does not matter what you are going through now, in the actual fact, the things you are going through will help you get to your destiny. “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Rom 8:28. Things can push you to your destiny but it cannot block you from your destiny.

Don’t put your energy on things that will not escalate your destiny. If it is not Ishmael, you must go ahead to birth Isaac. If I am not supposed to preach, then I should not preach, you need to ask God to show you your purpose so that you can walk in your purpose.

In John 4:31-34, Jesus said his meat was to do the will of him who has sent him meaning he is sustained by his purpose. The same purpose sustained Isaac to keep digging new well even when his enemies took his wealth discovery. No man can kill you unless your purpose is finished. People who see crisis as crisis gets drown because you will ultimately go in the direction of your vision; but people who see it as opportunity excel in life. When you understand your purpose, turbulence does not upset you. Your perspective seasoned by experience will teach you things you should not worry about so you can put your effort on things that are productive.

Don’t energise your enemies by focusing on them by what they are trying to do because if you are blessed and they are not, you are bigger than them. You must ignore them because whatever you give attention to in life you make important. If you want to kill your enemies by slow motion, ignore them because they are not part of your destiny.
