RCCG Open Heaven 30 September 2026 Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye – YOU HAVE A PURPOSE
Topic: YOU HAVE A PURPOSE
Memorise:
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
— Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV)
Read: Jeremiah 1:4-10 (KJV)
4 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
5 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.
6 Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
7 But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
9 Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
RCCG Open Heaven 30 September 2026 Today Message by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
After Jesus resurrected from the dead, He visited His disciples in John 20:19-22 and said to them, "…as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you." When God comes into a person's life, He will give the person a purpose for his or her life. He will share His thoughts and plans with the person and show him or her what the future holds. He will do this because He desires His children to live purposeful lives.
Many people are drifting through life because they haven't encountered Jesus. They do anything that appeals to them because they have not discovered why God created them. For instance, some of them engage in fraudulent acts just to make money. At the end of the day, they realise that life is more than having money. Such people become rich but miserable because the wealth they amassed, which they thought would bring them joy and fulfilment, did not. They soon discover that their lives lack meaning despite their wealth. They do not know God's purpose for their lives, so they continually strive to achieve the next big thing. Unfortunately, after each seemingly big achievement, they tend to sink into despair because they feel as if something is still missing in their lives.
Child of God, no amount of money, fame, or achievement can make a person fulfilled. As long as a person lives outside God's purpose for his or her life, such a person will not know what true fulfilment is. I have had the opportunity to mingle with the high and mighty, and I have discovered that some people who are poor by societal definitions have more joy and peace than many of them. In today's memory verse, the Almighty God says that He knows the plans He has towards you, and that they are good.
Beloved, God has a specific plan for your life, and it is only when you align yourself with His plan that you will experience fulfilment. To know His purpose for your life, you must cultivate an intimate relationship with Him because He created you, and no product can fulfil its true purpose outside its manufacturer's intention and specifications. As you spend quality time with your Maker in prayer and studying His word, your true purpose will become evident. I pray that God will continually guide you along the path of your purpose in Him and supply you with the grace and wisdom to fulfil it, in Jesus' name.
Reflection:
Do you know God's purpose for your life, and are you walking in it?
Bible in One Year:
Zechariah 11-14
Hymn 10: In Christ Alone
Verse 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.
Verse 2:
In Christ alone! who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones He came to save:
Till 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 4:
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
Open Heaven Devotional 30 September 2026 Commentary
Theme: The Burden Bearer gives you a purpose. You are not an accident—God knew you, sanctified you, and ordained you before you were born. Fulfillment is found only in aligning with His plan.
Major Keywords: You have a purpose, God's plan for your life, Jeremiah's calling, fulfillment in purpose, manufacturer's specifications.
Commentary Summary:
God's Purpose Precedes Your Birth: Jeremiah 1:5 declares that God knew, sanctified, and ordained Jeremiah before he was formed. Your purpose was established before you arrived.
The Illusion of Empty Success: Many chase wealth, fame, and achievements but remain miserable because they live outside God's purpose. No amount of money can replace the fulfillment of walking in your calling.
The Manufacturer's Specifications: No product fulfills its purpose outside the manufacturer's design. You cannot find fulfillment outside God's plan for your life. Return to your Maker.
Rise Above Your Limitations: Like Jeremiah, you may feel inadequate. But God says, "Say not, I am a child." He will put His words in your mouth and set you over nations.
Reference to Theme: This message, YOU HAVE A PURPOSE, reminds you that your life has meaning. You were created on purpose, for a purpose. Discover it in intimate relationship with your Maker, and walk in it.
Action Steps:
Ditch the World's Yardstick: Write down your current goals. Honestly evaluate them and ask: "Am I chasing this for God's glory, or simply to prove something to society?"
Commune with your Maker Daily: Set aside at least 15 minutes of uninterrupted quiet time every morning to study the Bible and converse with God, asking Him to reveal His specifications for your life.
Reject Ungodly Shortcuts: If you are currently facing financial pressure, firmly resolve to reject any dishonest, fraudulent, or compromising shortcuts. Trust that God's good plans will sustain you in His perfect timing.
