Message
Either of honour of dishonour, everyone is born to fulfil a
purpose. You are however responsible for the category
of God’s purpose you fulfil in His overall operations
among men.
“If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be
a vessel unto honour, sanctified , and meet for the
master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.”
2Timothy 2:21
A man can also either help or hinder God’s purpose for
his life. For example, God’s purpose for Samson was
that he should deliver Isreal from their oppressors. But
tragically,the completion of his assignment depended on
his moral discipline, which he ignored (Judges 13:5)
John the Baptist is an example of a vessel unto honour.
God spoke concerning him that he will convert many
souls into the Kingdom. For this purpose, he was filled
with the Holy Ghost right from his mother’s womb. He
did not have any opportunity to live a self-seeking life
from childhood until his death because of the influence
of the Holy Spirit upon him from the womb ( Luke
1:13-17). Judas Iscariot however allowed himself to be
used for the other side of the coin of divine purpose. He
allowed himself to be used negatively to fulfil a divine
purpose; that is, to betray the saviour of mankind as it
was ordained ages before he was born(John 6:64). In
the same spiritual environment where Judas Iscariot
was nurtured and turned out to be a thief and a betrayer,
John the Beloved also was nurtured and became the
most intimate Disciple of The Lord (John 13:23). Before
you where born, God had a purpose. The good news is
that as for me and the children God has given me- both
biological and spiritual, we are for signs,wonders and
divine purpose unto honour. If you are one of my
children, Congratulations! You are on your way to
fulfilling your divine purpose. Honour is your portion in
Jesus Name. If you are not, you can be grafted in by
giving your life to Christ as you say this prayer:
Lord Jesus, I acknowledge I’m a sinner. I acknowledge
the price you paid for my sins on the cross of Calvary,
and I accept you offer of salvation. Wash me with your
blood, make me a new person and write my name in the
Book of Life. Thank you for your mercy and forgiveness,
and for accepting me into your family, in Jesus Name,
Amen.
Action Point:
Find out divine purpose for your life and work towards
actualising it to the glory of God.
