Introduction to Divine purpose

THEME: UNDERSTANDING YOUR DIVINE LIFE PURPOSE
LESSON ONE: INTRODUCTION
MAIN TEXT – PROVERBS 16:1-11

1) DEFINITION
Well, there are multiple interpretations of what life purpose is. It may be called a spiritual calling and it can also be seen it as a higher instruction from God. Beyond religious connotations, a life purpose is simply your life’s message. It is the message you wish to drive in the world during your existence on Earth. Having a life purpose applies to all of us, whether we are religious, non-religious, or atheistic. This means that we are made by God to accomplish his desire in our living, so all must come to Him for directions.- Jeremiah 1:4-12. Well, a life purpose is the first step toward living a truly conscious life of your creation. While you can be busy with a million goals and tasks every day, when you don’t have a clear purpose (one that you believe in with your heart), you may well be barking up the wrong tree. That’s because your goals and tasks may well have nothing to do with your higher purpose in life.- Proverbs 19:21

2) DISCOVERING YOUR PURPOSE- Proverbs 3:1-8

To discover your purpose in life, you must know your creator and work according to his plan- Jeremiah 29:11. We don’t know the plan but God knows. There are principles to use to discover your life purpose:

a. God is a God of purpose.- Isaiah 46:10-11, Proverbs 16:4, Psalm 135:6
b. God created everything with a purpose- Genesis 1.
c. Not every purpose is known to us because we have lost
our understanding of God‘s original intent for us - Proverbs 16:2
d. Where purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable – Isaiah 8:10, Daniel 4:35
e. To discover the purpose of something, never ask the creation; ask the creator. Leviticus 26:1, 1 Cor. 10:14, Daniel 2:27, Jeremiah 10:2
f. We find our purpose only in the mind of our Maker. Amos 5:8, Proverbs 21:1.
g. God‘s purpose is the key to our fulfillment. - Ephesians 1:11
No time is too late- Abraham discovered His’ at 70- Genesis 12 , No time is too early- Jesus discovered His’ at a tender age.

3) THE BUSINESS OF THE FATHER- Luke 2:41-52

There is the business of the Father which means that there is the major interest of God for everybody on this world. Jesus used the term “business” to show us that it is very important and profitable to our creator. All things may be good to do but not all things are as important to God as His purpose for you. Also it points to us that the word Father is used to show us that God’s purpose for us or this business is a family business. Are you in the family of God? It is a business that profits the entire family, so if you are fulfilling the divine purpose you are profiting. Have found out the Father’s business for your life? Are you already in it? Do you think you don’t have the power? – John 1:12-13. Galatians 3:26. Are you only on the business of your earthly father or parents? Jesus knew the difference and importance – Mark 6:3

If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster- Stephen covey

Abundance inspite of austerity

TOPIC- ABUNDANCE INSPITE OF AUSTERITY LESSON 2- PRINCIPLES OF ABUNDANCE 2 TEXT- 2 COR 9:10, 2 SAM 24:23-24, GEN 26 The blessings of God will cover our lives when we sow throughout all areas of our lives. If we sow in the church, home, work, with friends and strangers we will reap in all those areas. Wherever the waters of God are flowing fro us, we should sow. If we spend our days giving, we will spend our days reaping. A ) THE SEED SOWN MULTIPLIES – LUKE 6:38, JOHN 6:9-14 There is a common saying “a bird at hand is worth two in the bush”, but in spiritual law, a seed released is worth hundreds yet to be received. The power in your seed to multiply is activated by its release. Your seed is what you sow, your faith is why it multiplies. Our seed multiplies at varying levels, but the lowest level the Word promises is thirty fold – Matthew 13:8. What conditions can affect the level of multiplication of our seed? I) Attitude – 2 Cor 9:7, Acts 5:1-10 II) Obedience to God’s word – Is...

Destiny Fulfilment

THEME: DESTINY FULFILMENT LESSON 1: INTRODUCTION TEXT: ISAIAH 60:11 Our success in life is tied to the fulfilment of our divine destiny. Destiny could mean the things that will happen in the future or the force that controls what happens in the future and is outside human control. We should view destiny as something that is discoverable and not decisive. God decides our destiny and we discover it. Proverb 16:9, Proverb 20:24. This year God has assured us of destiny fulfilment. 1) Every man has a destiny: Exodus 2:1-10, Exodus 3:9-12 There is a divine purpose behind every divine destiny. Nobody is in the world as a mistake - we are divinely sent, placed and equipped- Jeremiah 1:5, Psalm 37:23. One of the major role of God in a man's life is to ordain his destiny in him and guide him to accomplish it. 2) Man's Role in destiny fulfilment: Genesis 1:27-31, Genesis 3:14-18 Remember that God made man to be a co-creator. To the Christian man, he is the visible and tangible ...

The relevance of the Christian Youth

THE RELEVANCE OF THE CHRISTIAN YOUTH IN THE 21ST CENTURY TEXT- 1 TIMOTHY 4:12-13 “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine”. These were the words of Apostle Paul to timothy; the great apostle used this to warn every youth that no man is lawfully permitted to useless their lives or to take undue advantage of their living. Youths should know their God and serve the one true God in their youthful age. Every Christian youth must rise and shine because the earth has been given to God‘s people to bring down the Kingdom of God to this world and for the propagation of the gospel to places where Jesus Christ is not yet glorified. God has bestowed a lot abilities and privileges to the youths; the youths are much closer to development and the trend of things in the society so this gives them an edge in knowing the things...
