2 Corinthians 4:7-9 - But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed
1Timothy 4:14- Do not neglect the Gift that is in you.
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
2 Kings 4:1-7 A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.”
2 So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”
3 Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few.
4 And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels and set aside the full ones.”
5 So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out.
6 Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And he said to her, “There is not another vessel.” So the oil ceased.
7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.”
Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. Muhammad Ali’s bike was stolen. Those things had to happen to them Because it was the only thing POWERFUL enough to ignite the greatness that God has placed inside of them. It’s an INSIDE job!
Luke 17:21- The kingdom of God is within you.

1) God will always call you or tell you about your purpose the same way the Apostle Paul called for the elders to tell them about his (V-17)

2) You still must come to God about your purpose so you can hear what He has to say, the same way the Elders came to Apostle Paul to hear what he had to say to them (V-18a)!

3) Always live the same way while you’re following your God-ordained purpose (V-18b, Hebrews 10:23)!

4) Always serve the Lord with all humility, through your tears, through your temptations, and through the plots of others while you’re following your God-ordained purpose (V-19)!

5) Always try to teach someone the lessons you learned from your failures while you’re following your God-ordained purpose (V-20, Luke 22:31-32)!

6) Always testify to everyone while you’re following your God-ordained purpose, not just to the ones you think will receive the gospel (V-21)!

7) Realize for your safety God won’t reveal some things to you while you’re following your God-ordained purpose (V-22, Acts 1:7)!

8) Don’t let this shock you, but chains and tribulation await you while you’re following your God-ordained purpose (V-23, John 16:33)

9) Lastly “Don’t allow anything to move you” from following your God-ordained purpose (V-24)!

Life is more than just passing through to get to a better place; even though that will be the result, we must believe that life is much more and that the reason we were put on the earth is not to do time or to buy time but accomplish something with the time we have been given. We must arrive at a place in our lives where we are convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt that we have been created on purpose for a purpose!
“On purpose” means intentional or deliberate. God’s plan for creating us was intentional and deliberate, and there had to be a process of planning which would have crystallized the details for the finished product. My friends, I want to make this statement a personal one as you say it out loud so you can hear yourself, “I am created on purpose for a purpose!”
