Title: You Will Fulfill purpose
Memorize: Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:5 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: Romans 8:28-29 (Nkjv)
[28] And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
[29] For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Message:
As the last child of my father and the only son of my mother, I could have grown up to be a spoilt brat, but I am not.
I had the vision of becoming the youngest Vice Chancellor in Africa, and I worked hard to achieve it.
I bagged a Ph.D. in Mathematics in my early 30s in a bid to achieve this dream, but then, I gave my life to Christ, and God brought me under the mentorship of my late Father in the Lord, who appointed me as the General Overseer of RCCG.
Some years ago, I asked God why He allowed me to waste years studying mathematics when He knew I would end up being a pastor.
God simply replied, “I was training you so that you can preach the gospel mathematically, that is, in a step-by-step process.”
My dear child, are you confused about God’s purpose for your life?
Are you wondering why you settled for that course?
Are you unsure about what the future holds? Don’t be afraid; no knowledge is wasted.
God will see to it that you fulfil His purpose for your life.
Prayer Point:
Father, please help me to fulfil Your purpose for my life.
Hymn 30 – WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
1 When we walk with the Lord
In the light of his word,
What a glory he sheds on our way!
While we do his good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
2 Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil he doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss,
Not a frown or a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey.
3 But we never can prove
The delights of his love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor he shows,
For the joy he bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.
4 Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at his feet,
Or we’ll walk by his side in the way;
What he says we will do,
Where he sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey
