God of purpose.
Memorise: In whom also we have obtained
an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of him who workth
all things after the counsel of his own will. Ephesians 1:11
Our God is a God of purpose. He created man for a
purpose. He declared
His purpose for man even before creating him in His
own image. The Bible in Genesis 1: 26 says,
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the
fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Therefore, know that you were born for a purpose, you
are not an accident, even if your parents were no longer expecting children at
the point they had you, just like it happened in my own case. It could even be
that you are a child out of wedlock. Notwithstanding all these, the fact that
you came and you survived despite all the forces against you, and that you
became exposed to the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, shows that God has you
uppermost in His heart. You got this far because He was behind the scene
working out His purpose for your life. So don’t let the devil deceive and rob
you of your glorious destiny. Remember, Solomon was a product of a relationship
founded on adultery and intrigue that resulted in the murder of his mother’s
husband.
The true children of God were chosen from the
foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4-5). He chose us for different purposes.
We should seek out His purpose and rest in Him while He brings it to pass.
Moses, who was chosen for a great purpose by God, jumped ahead in his own
self-counsel to being the deliverance of his people. The result was a forty
year wait in the wilderness. Do not jump ahead of God, stay close to His
heartbeat in the place of meditation. Hear what He will have you do per time.
Knowing and walking in God’s purpose for your life brings a level of confidence
that makes you exude calmness in the midst of the storm. This was the case with
Paul in Acts 27:23-25
“For there stood by me this night the angel of God,
whose I am, and whom I serve, saying, fear not, Paul; thou must be brought
before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I
believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.”
Know that there is a purpose for you, discover what
that purpose is and pursue it with all your might. God will help you in Jesus
Name,

Praise God for who He has made you to
be; you are fearfully and wonderfully made with a purpose to fulfil.
