Bible Reading: Exodus 3: 1-4
Memory Verse: In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falls upon men, While slumbering on their beds, Then He opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction. Job 33: 15 -16 (NKJV)
I sincerely celebrate God’s grace upon Dr Pastor Paul Enenche throughout these series. Today, shall we probe further into the channels of discovery of purpose:
1. Through divine direction and instructions (Hab. 2:1; Acts 10:19; Ex. 3:1-3; Ps. 85:8): This refers to a clear hearing of what God wants you to do with your life. God can speak to you with an audible voice, through spiritual perceptions and knowing, through interruption of your thoughts, etc.
2. Through visions and revelations (Gen. 37:5-10; Acts 26:12-19; 16:9): This refers to the realms of dreams, visions, revelations or trances; you are seeing something that is pointing you to your life’s assignment.
These should be comparable with other modes of leading that God leads.
3. Through burdens and passions of the heart (Neh. 1:1-4; Acts 18:5; 7:23): Most times when God places burdens in your heart, they are keys to what He wants you to do with your life. There is a connection between your burden and your bearing in life. There is a connection between your passion and your purpose, your pressure and your pursuit. That problem that makes you cry or weighs you down may be a problem that God has anointed you to solve.
4. Through affections and compassions of the heart (Matt. 14:14; Matt. 9:36-38; Acts 7:23): There is a connection between deep affection and purpose in life; what you love doing is connected to what you will live doing. There is a connection between your love and your life. There is a connection between the heart you have and the mark you will make. There is a connection between what you love doing and what you are to live doing.
5. Through insight from life’s experiences (Exo. 2:15, 3:1-10; Matt. 4:18-19): What you pass through is connected to what will pass through you to your generation. What you suffered determines what you will offer. Out of your mess can come your message; out of your misery can come your ministry (assignment); out of your insult can come your impact.
6. Through the discovery of life’s potentials and giftings (1 Sam. 16:17; Prov. 18:16; Dan. 5:11): What God has deposited in you determines what He would demand from you. Your potential is connected to your purpose. Don’t allow anybody’s leading to direct your destiny. What people say to you should be a confirmation of what you are hearing yourself. Your potential/giftings can reveal to you an aspect of your purpose and also take you to your ultimate purpose. When referring to potential, don’t look at how much you will make, but look at how many lives you will touch. Don’t put income first in the matter of destiny, put impact first and income will come. What you can do is connected to what you can become.
Quote: Purpose is not the same as ambition. Go for divine direction.
Prophetic Decree: Receive grace for precise and accurate knowledge of where to channel your life’s energy, gift, resources and potentials, in Jesus name.
