KEY TO DIVINE SUCCESS PART 4A(LIVING IN PURPOSE)
TEXT: JEREMIAH 1:5, JOHN 21:1-6
JEREMIAH 1:5 (KJV)
BEFORE I FORMED THEE IN THE BELLY I KNEW
THEE; AND BEFORE THOU CAMEST FORTH OUT OF THE WOMB I SANTIFIED THEE, AND I
ORDAINED THEE A PROPHET UNTO THE NATIONS.
JOHN 21:1-6 (KJV)
1. After these things Jesus shewed
Himself again to His disciples at the sea of tiberias; and on this wise shewed
He Himself.
2. there were together Simon peter,
Thomas called didymus, and Nathaniel of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of
Zebedee, and two other disciples.
3. Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a
fishing, they said unto him, we also go with thee. They
went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught
nothing.
4. But when the morning was now come,
Jesus stood on at the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
5. Then Jesus saith unto them, Children
have ye any meat? They answered Him, no.
6. And He said unto them, cast the net
on the RIGHT SIDE OF THE SHIP, AND YE SHALL FIND.THEY CASTED
THEREFORE, AND NOW THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DRAW IT FOR THE MULTITUDE OF FISHES.
We have looked at about three
keys to success. Where in the part one, we said every kingdom greatness is tied
to the fear of God. In the part two we talked about the consciousness of divine
presence, and in the part three we talked about the voice of God.
In this part we shall be
talking about WALKING IN OUR PURPOSE.
Every man in life has what he
or she was created to be. Before God made any man, there is a purpose God has
created Him or Her to fulfil. In one of our anchor text from the book of Jeremiah,
The Lord told Jeremiah that before he came out of the womb, he has ordained him
to be a prophet. Likewise everybody in life there is that which you are meant
to be in life.
Now unless you understand or know that thing you were created for you cannot excel or succeed in life.
You see the plan of God is not just that we enjoy His riches when we get to
heaven but that we should experience heaven while on earth. But then everybody
has a place where they are meant to shine and not until you discover that place
you cannot shine in life.
** Not walking in purpose can
be likened unto living a fake life; because the purpose of your life is the reason for your existence and while you
were created. So you not living for that reason mean you are living a fake life
or helping someone else to fulfil their destiny. So you see that we have a lot
of fake people on earth.
** IT IS UNTIL YOU WALK IN PURPOSE YOU HAVE THE CONSENT OF GOD AND WHEN
YOU HAVE THE CONSENT OF GOD, YOU DEFINITLY HAVE HIS PRESENCE. AND DON’T FORGET
IN THE PART TWO WE TALKED ABOUT THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF DIVINE PRESENCE AS A KEY
TO SUCCESS.
** PURPOSE CAN BE LIKENED TO A FATHER WHO ASSIGNED A
WORK TO HIS SON, AND THEN THE SON DOES THE WORK, THE HEART OF THE FATHER WILL
BE PLEASED WITH THE SON AND HE WILL ALWAYS DO ACCORDING TO THE DESIRE OF THE
SON AND BLESS HIM. BUT WHEN HE FAILS TO
DO IT, THE HEART OF THE FATHER IS NOT PLEASED WITH HIM. AND WE KNOW THAT ALL
GOOD SUCCESS COMES FROM THE FATHER.
From the book of john were we
read, the bible was talking of the apostle how that Peter one of the disciples
decided to go fishing and the rest of the disciples went with him. But the
bible recorded in verse three (3) that they caught nothing all through the
night. But the bible also said that when it was morning Jesus appeared to them
and asked them if they had any fish but they said they did not have any and immediately
Jesus said to them: CAST THY NET AT THE
RIGHT SIDE OF THE SHIP AND YE SHALL FIND SOME. And the bible said NOW not later
they got their result. So if you want to get immediate result that is the key,
discover your purpose.
Now you understand that the
disciples toiled throughout the night but all their work throughout that night
was unfruitful.
But let take a look at the
statement of Jesus: CAST THY NET AT THE
RIGHT SIDE OF THE SHIP AND YE SHALL FIND SOME. Note he said at the RIGHT SIDE
of the ship. Now we can look at RIGHT from two different perspective, EITHER AS
A LOCATION OR the same thing as the word CORRECT. Either way still reveal the
same thing to us. So the disciples has been toiling relentlessly on the wrong
side of the ship, HMM if they had known earlier they would have casted their
net at the right side were they would have caught lot of fish. Beloved ignorance
can cause you to suffer in life and you might start blaming God for your
failure whereas you are the cause of your failure. It was not because there was
no fish in the river that they suffered but because they were ignorant of the
right place that would have fetch them fish.
So ignorant can cause a man who is DILIGENT to suffer
in life. So although you are diligent but then you are suffering in life. click HERE TO READ ABOUT DILIGENCE AND HOW IT CAN BE A KEY TO DIVINE MULTIPLICATION.
So beloved there is RIGHT place were our success lies,
there is a place were we are meant to excel in life, there is a place were when
we toil, we must see the result, AND
THAT IS THE PLACE WERE GOD HAS PLACED US(OUR PURPOSE). And not until you
discover your purpose and invest in it you are bound to suffer in life as you
will experience tremendous failure in life. Imaging they have been working but
there was no fruit for their labour not until they discover that their success
is at the right side. So beloved if you have not discovered your purpose in
life, you have now known the effect of it run and look for that place and
things will turn around for good for you.
Have you now seen one of the
reason why you are struggling in Life, why things have not been working out for
you, just pursue your purpose and you will get the result.
** Another point to note there is that it was Jesus who showed them the way to the right side, SO IF YOU DON’T HAVE JESUS IN YOU THEN THERE IS NO HOPE FOR YOU, BECAUSE THE LORD JESUS IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SHOW YOU THE WAY. ARE YOU STILL A SINNER THAT IS READING THIS POST THEN YOUR TIME IS NOW BECAUSE JESUS STILL LOVES YOU AND IS READY TO ACCEPT YOU DON’T REMAIN IN YOUR SIN AND GO TO HELL, HELL IS NOT A PLACE FOR YOU, GIVE YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD AND BE SAVED, WHOSOEVER WILL MAY COME. AND ALSO DON’T FORGET TO STAY WITH HIM IN THE PLACE OF PRAYER, FASTING, STUDYING THE SCRIPTURE AND ATTENDING FELLOWSHIP AS THESE THINGS CAN HELP YOU DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE.
Don’t forget this: NOT LIVING IN PURPOSE CAN BE LIKENED TO LIVING A FAKE LIFE, AND LIVING A FAKE LIFE IS ONE OF THE REASON FOR UNSUCCESSFULNESS IN LIFE.
