You Must Fullfill Your Purpose

http://highcity.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/You-Must-Fullfill-Your-Purpose-300×300.jpg”John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” (Revelation 1:4-6 KJV)

It is time for each one of us to rise and become a special servant of God, serving Him on any of the seven prophetic mountains of life (faith and religion, family and health, education and training, business and commerce, arts and entertainment, governance and law, and media and technology)

Every one of us must find his or her place on a mountain and serve the Lord as priests and kings there. God has a purpose for our lives. That is why, while we were yet sinners, He sent His Son to die in our place (See Romans 5:8¹). While we were still sinners He loved us, washed us, made us priests and Kings, and now He is gracing us to function.

To fulfill your purpose in life you need grace and peace from Our Lord Jesus Christ, and from the seven spirits of God which are before His throne. The apostle said “… Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth….” 

Remember the grace and gifts of God vary vastly (See 1 Corinthians 12:4-11²). The differences come from the different forms that the gift takes, the differences in how they are administered, and the varying manner in which the gifts are operated.

From our scripture, Apostle John is also praying for grace and peace to come upon us, and he tells us that we have been loved, washed, and made kings and priests.

God loved, washed, saved, and made us share in His responsibility as priests and kings. Beloved, it’s time to arise to fulfill that purpose. We must both serve and rule in our generation. Wherever, whenever, and with whoever, we must serve the will and purpose of God and rule in life by Him.

To serve this purpose in a special way, you must;

1. Enlist: Answer the call to serve
2. Submit and stay: Submit to and stay with a master of the craft which you have signed up to, and catch the spirit and basic skills you need (See 1 Corinthians 11:1³)
3. Run Errands: Run the errands of your master or tutor with utmost responsibility (See Mark 3:13-16⁴)
4. Christ connection: Stay in the vine and let His sap stay in you. (See John 15:1-7⁵)
5. Grow: Intentionally determine to make a shift (See 1 Corinthians 13:11⁶)
6. Narrow the focus
7. Replace: Raise others to replace you at what you do
8. Work on it
