Revelation of the Word:

THEME: GOD’S PURPOSE

Romans 8:28 NKJV

“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.”

INSIGHT

–God’s purposes for us are deeply entrenched on His plan for our lives. The purposes that we so deeply desire should be the intentions of God that He reveals unto us progressively. It is all about God and not about us, therefore fulfilling His design of love that He gave His beloved Son for our own good.

SUMMARY

Everyone is born with a purpose. As the Scripture says, Before the Lord formed us in the womb, He knew us. Before we were born He sanctified us (Jeremiah 1:5). We therefore cannot relent in fulfilling our divine purpose on earth because of the lifespan of man given that God has set a plan for every purpose under heaven. It is God who works in us both to will and to do for His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13). Even though sometimes we have our own plans and ambitions in life, it is His perfect will that prevails. Proverbs 19:21 reminds us that many are the plans in our hearts, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. We are called to rely on God and His perfect plan for us. God invites us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you (Matthew 6:33). Ecclesiastes 9:10 reminds us to do everything with might, for there is no work, device, knowledge, or wisdom in the grave. The purposes assigned to us are for the glory of God, and when the Chief Shepherd appears, we will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away (1 Peter 5:2-4).

PRAYER

Thank You dear Jesus for assuring us that we shall receive the crown of glory. We are indeed Your workmanship created in You Jesus Christ for good works, which God the Father prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Thank You for considering us worthy to do Your good works. Thank You Jesus for dying on the cross for our sins, may You forgive us our iniquities and wash us with Your precious blood. We surrender our lives to us for use in Your kingdom dear Lord Jesus. We are Yours and we belong to You, may You help us and empower us to do Your will. May all Your promises for us come to fruition in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. May Your promises come to life in our lives, families and nation dear Jesus. May You grant Your true salvation to us and all people dear merciful Savior. Lord may You do exceedingly abundantly more than we can ask of or think of according to the power that is at work in us. Lord we trust in You and exalt You. We believe that You are able to do more than we can think of or imagine. We believe that we shall be extremely fruitful since we abide in You and You in us. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives and we shall dwell in Your house forever. May You bless us and keep us loving Father, may You shine Your face upon us and be gracious to us. May You lift up Your countenance towards us and give us peace. Amen

Blessed Weekend
