Qualities to possess for the fulfilment of your purpose

BIBLE STUDY
THEME- UNDERSTANDING LIFE PURPOSE
TOPIC- QUALITIES TO POSSESS FOR FULFILLING YOUR PURPOSE
TEXT- DANIEL 1:1-21; PROVERBS 15:22
INTRODUCTION- To have a fulfilled purpose for your life, one needs to be directed and counseled regularly because there are those who has gone before you that you need their wise advice to be successful in life. We will major on today’s topic using the account of Daniel in the bible. It is said that having a purpose is the difference between making a living and making a life.”

1) Goal Setting- Daniel 1:12-17,
Now, when you define your purpose, a purpose that shakes your heart and stirs your soul, that’s when conscious living begin. This subsequently helps you to set long- term goals that move you in the right direction (toward your purpose), in turn rippling out to your short-term goals, then action plans, then daily actions. A goal is a result that one is attempting to achieve. Daniel set a goal to be ten times more than others in the land of Babylon.
2) Self discipline – Daniel 1:8-10, Phil 3:4-7, 1 Corinthians 9:25-27, Prov 13:3
Self discipline preserves a destiny and moulds it into the form that God made it from the beginning. Despite the royal environment of Daniel he didn’t allow it to affect his decisions. Moses lost his destination because of indiscipline – Deuteronomy 3:25-29. Samson had is eyes plugged out because of indiscipline – Judges 16:19-21.
3) Prayers – Daniel 6:10-11; 20-23, Daniel 9:1-4, 17-19
Prayer is a necessity in the fulfillment of your life purpose because it is not by your strength but you need supernatural assistance to be victorious over the evil spiritual powers. Daniel was a great leader but He didn’t relent in fervent prayers. He understood prayers as a daily meal to be taken which he did three times daily.
4) Persistence and focus- Hebrew 10:38-39
This is the absence of distraction. It is channeling your energy to a particular area of interest and absolute concentration. Daniel focused on his life purpose even in Babylon he ruled with many kings but was never distracted and he knew when it was time to return to their land – Daniel 9:1-2.
5) Faith – Hebrew 4:2, Heb 11:6, Dan 11:32
Do not fear is the message to hold on to in the journey to your success. Daniel and his brothers depended on their God- Daniel 3:16-18, Daniel 6:20-22. The fear of failure has eaten up so many destinies in this life. Lot’s wife was afraid of facing her tomorrow and she could not make it beyond what her eyes could see- Genesis 19:26.
6) Hard work - Proverbs 13:4, Proverbs 19:14-15, 24.
Hard work is also vital in the fulfilling of our destiny. God has promised to bless our works and not just our wishes. So he encourages us to work and be diligent. Psalm 90:17.Deuteronomy 28:8, 12.

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.

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...
