11/18/2012  DIVINE PURPOSE

It is necessary and  compulsory for you to fulfill your purpose. You have to determine this morning that you are on this earth in other to fulfill your purpose. Purpose must be fulfilled because God is the originator of purpose. Before God created man, He made everybody understand the reason why man must be created. Genesis 1:26…..Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness…….”The purpose was to have dominion over everything on God made, to govern them, to direct them,to be God’s helper, God’s representative, to demonstrate the glory and power of God. God is God of purpose, and everyone must make sure, he fulfills his purpose . God is the God that makes things happen; when He makes a purpose, He makes it for a reason. When He made Pharaoh, God made us to understand that Pharaoh was created for a purpose. Exodus 9:16……But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up so my name will be glorified……..God wants everyone to know who He is, that is why He raised Pharaoh, He hardened his heart, so that He could be able to multiple His miracles in the land of Egypt. The  ten plagues God released made people to understand that they have never seen anything like this before. When there was darkness in Egypt, there was light in the land of Goshan, in the same country; this is God.
 
While we are talking about the plague of the storm, the plague of the hailstone, I want to talk about the killing of the first born. God is a god of purpose. When God raise Saul, his purpose was to deliver his people from the Philistines. 1 Samuel 9:16…….Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin……  God raise Samson for purpose; angel of the Lord went to his mother  Judges 13:4-5…… For behold you shall conceive and bear a son, and no razor shall come upon his head…… God is a god of purpose, if all this things is declared in the bible , it makes me understand that there is a reason why God called you; there is a reason why God created you; there is a reason why God made you; and God wants you to fulfill your purpose.You will fulfill purpose in Jesus name….. 
 
Some people’s purpose might be praying for others; some people’s purpose might be to intercede for others; some people’s purpose might be to do charity; some people’s purpose might be to help the less fortunate people; some people’s purpose might be to take care of abandoned children or orphans; some people’s purpose might be to decorate the church of God; some people’s purpose might be to pray for their overseer; some people’s purpose might be to organize things. God has a purpose for you even your profession has a purpose and you will fulfill that purpose in the name of Jesus. As you have good purpose, you also have evil purpose. Those who are destroying your personality are fulfilling purpose; it is a bad purpose but they are fulfilling it; but the Lord has turned it to good thing for you. Joseph said in the book of Genesis 50:20…….But as for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good….. If you did not sell me to Egypt, I would not have been where I am today. I would have remained with my father and I would never have fulfilled purpose. At times people think that they do you evil, but God turns evil to good for you.  The evil that people did against you is for good in the name of Jesus Christ……
 
Judas Iscariot thought that he did evil, but the Lord turned it into good; he fulfilled a purpose. People crucified our Lord Jesus Christ, but if He was not crucified how are we going to get our salvation. To every Crucifixion there must be a resurrection. When people are crucifying you it is because God wants to resurrect you; Jesus Christ was resurrected in the glory and power of God. When He resurrected He said “all authority in heaven and on the earth has been given unto me”…. So whatever people are doing against you is for a purpose, it is for a reason, it is for your promotion, it is for your elevation; and that is what the Lord will do in the name of Jesus Christ. Cain fulfilled evil purpose when his offering was not accepted. Genesis 4:8 & 10……Now Cain talked with Abel his brother, and it came to pass, when they were in the field……When Cain killed his brother the Lord cursed him. In verse 10 it says “the blood of your brother cries out to me” making us understand that thou shall not murder; we should not do evil to people. The Lord raised curses upon him, and Cain’s generation was wiped off. The devil initiates some people in other to carry out some evil assignment against us, but when you have a purpose to fulfill, their assignment will never be accomplished in the name of Jesus…….
 
 Number 16:1-2&29-32….Korah Dathan and Abiram, gathered themselves together with the leaders of the children of Israel, with 250 renowned elders, and they rose up against Moses. But I thank the Lord the way He dealt with them; Moses said to them “by this you will know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them on my own will……..” The earth swallowed them making me to understand that when people are carrying out evil purpose, because you have a purpose, divine purpose will terminate evil purpose. Moses had divine purpose, Korah, Dathan, and Abiram had evil purpose but his own purpose terminated their own purpose. Is there anybody here that has been humiliated, is there anybody here that people have frustrated so much, by the power of the Lord, because you have a purpose, your purpose with terminate all those who are standing against you in the name of Jesus Christ and you will fulfill your purpose.
 
Do not stand like an empty person, I want you to know that you have a purpose while others have died, you are not dead; you are alive because you have a purpose to fulfill. The Lord kept you alive because you have a purpose to fulfill. Your dwelling in this land is for a purpose, your coming to America is for a purpose, in your family some people have died, but death did not take you away. Some people the devil have cut them off but you are not cut off; they brush you hard, but yet you have not crashed. Some people have been destabilized; some people have forgotten that they ever came to this world; but your own case was not like that because you have a purpose to fulfill. You will fulfill your purpose in the name of Jesus……
 
Only God knows the number of arrows that they shoot on you everyday, every night and every season, but none of these arrows have landed into your home, none of these arrows have pierced you, reason is because the Lord God Almighty is with you. Psalm 23:4……Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil….. When you have a purpose to fulfil God Almighty will not allow your enemy to terminate your life. When you go to the cemetery that is where you will see some people died at 20, 34, or a doctor. They were unable to fulfill their purpose, because the devil terminated it. But you are in the presence of God, the name of Jesus said Emmanuel- God with us. Isaiah 7:14….Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign; Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son….. Matthew 1:23….Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel…… Because Immanuel is with you; because God is with you, God abides in you because you abide in God. God surrounds you with the wall of fire, so your enemies could not be able to penetrate in other to terminate your life. May the presence of God be and abide with you in the name of Jesus Christ; blessed be the name of the Lord……
 
When there is a purpose there must be fulfillment.  Purpose is like a vision; when there is a vision there is a commission. When you have a vision, the Lord will commission you, that is He empowers you to be able to fulfill. When there is a vision there is a commission, and when there is a commission (i.e. God empowers you), there is separation. When God calls you, you are separated from the people of the world.That is when a lot of  challenges will come; that is when a lot of criticism will come.  Because when there is commission there must be separation. Acts 13:2……As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy spirit said “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul……” They were separated, you have to be separated from those who do not have purpose. A man who has a purpose and a man who does not have purpose can never live together. You have to develop the spirit that you are separated from rubbish.
 

5 PEOPLE GOD HAS TO SEPARATE YOU FROM

1. Those who do not have a purpose. Some people do not have purpose, that is why what touches you does not touch them. You must be separated from people who do not have purpose. When you walk with people without purpose they tie you down. This is the time to say “I am coming out; I must fulfill my purpose.”
2. Those who have a purpose but their purpose has ended a long time ago. If you are with a person whose purpose has ended a long time ago, instead of helping you they damage you.
3. Everyone whose purpose is contrary to your own purpose.
4. Those whose purpose is blocking or standing in the way of better things to come.
 

Hebrew 11:40…..God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect….. God has provided better things for us. Separation is not enemity, it is that your purpose is different from their own purpose. Exodus 12:38…..A mixed multitude went up with them also, and flocks and herds- a great deal of livestock. The mixed multitude do not have the purpose that Mose had, and they are the ones that caused God to anger. Numbers 11:4….Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving……The mixed multitude will always cry and criticize Moses, but he did not make them his enemies. Separation is not enemity, do not be an enemy to anyone. But when they become any enemy to you, God said he will be an enemy to them. Exodus 23:22….But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies…… Isaiah 49:25-26…..
