Purpose II

Act_13:36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

Many Bible characters served their purpose during their time. Right from Abraham, Moses, David, etc. Esther, too, whom we wrote a lot about yesterday in her position as the queen, also served her purpose. She risked her life and her position for the salvation of the Jews. What does that tell you? All her purpose in life was to rescue the people of God. Abraham, Moses, David, and Esther are not around today, but you are. You are also meant to serve God through the ministry of rescuing multitudes from destruction through soul-winning, or by indirectly contributing to it in one way or another. This should eventually lead men to know God and be established in the church. 

Such a man who is serving his purpose with intentionality and knowledge will have results coming his way. Like Isaiah says, He will shine, and even the Gentiles or nations shall come his way. He will be on the lookout for sons or new people to get saved and join the church, and they will come his way. If there happens to be any little among us, that one shall have a thousand followers, and if there be a small one, a nation.

But what hinders some from fulfilling their purpose is silence. If Esther kept silent about that matter, the Jews would have been destroyed. Likewise, the churches we strive to enlarge cannot grow because people are too quiet about their church or their pastor, yet all the big sitting church congregations do two things: they are ever speaking about their church and their pastor as well. You cannot speak negatively about the two and entice others to join it. 

      Like one preacher says, if you think we are trying out on life, you will not truly wake up to live the way you have to. He always compares it to dressing. You may enter a shop aimlessly and just try on a set of clothes. You may do that from shop to shop, yet not buy at all. If you think life is a dress rehearsal, you will not really live; you will be a wanderer, you will not know it, but years will go by without you knowing. Awaken and start to live your purpose of enlarging God's kingdom with utmost intentionality and all the strength and energy you can ever give into it.

      Further scriptures

    Esther_4:14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

    Isaiah 60:1-5 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. 

    Isaiah 60:22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.

Justified by faith

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: God has made us right with Himself. This is extremely good news because we could not measure up to His standard of righteousness portrayed by the law.  Most religions including some who profess Christianity advocate for a "do right and be right with God" kind of relating with God. This puts the burden of salvation upon the performance of the adherents to such religions. On the other hand true Bible faith, says believe right and then be made right with God independent of your actions. All this is because of God's goodness who wants all to be saved whether they have any previous morally good life or not. If you really get a revelation of this you would burst for joy and rejoice in what God has made you instead of what you can do for Him, hallelujah! It all starts with faith. If you believe you are justified or are forever made just before him, it affects your life in a certa...

When a heart(soul) heals

Many hearts are wounded, broken, sick, depressed, bleeding but when the heart of a man heals, they start to live again. That man starts to blossom, to dream again, to shine brighter and to love again. Psalm 34:18, But the Lord is close to the broken hearts, to the wounded, frustrated ones, He is always there. Surprisingly many people are broken hearted and they don't know what to do. Because of the failure they have experienced before, they face shame and as a result they choose to hide themselves. Some end up committing suicide since they feel hopeless and their dreams beyond reach.  If you happen to be in this situation first and foremost you need to forgive yourself, release that anger and let go of the past. Secondly you need revelation of your identity in Christ. If you aren't born again, you need to first surrender to Jesus as Lord. God is more willing to heal your heart(soul) and your story than you do. All He needs is our consent and cooperation. Let go and let God.  T...

A year of good things

Image
Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Years represent new seasons. Every season God has a specific word for us His children that we need to run with. When we run the year based on that Word, our results will be evident. In this season as the Streams of life and Nations churches God gave us a word through our Father Bishop Gerald Mwebe that we are going to have good things.  Last year 2025, was a year of great grace. This year God prophetically is giving us good things. One of the good things He has already given us is the gospel. The gospel is the message we preach and live by. We need to realise as believers that we have a message which will touch lives not only in this world but for eternity. The gospel is not only for non believers but for nonbelievers also. Many believers all they hear are the curses that follow them from the past generations....
