LECTURE #001: Understanding Divine Purpose
NOTES
Every thing that God created, He created for His own pleasure and not for the benefit of that thing. Everything that God created was for a reason, which was determined only by Him. Purpose is not a concept invented by man, but was already in existed long before his own existence.
This concept precedes the creation of the whole of mankind itself. God, who has created all things according to His divine plans, is the only one that has the sovereign right to determine the purpose of anything.
No man can ever locate his purpose outside God, for purpose starts and ends in Him. Millions of people today are living according to their own plans and purposes, and that is why there is so much tragedy, premature deaths, disappointments and frustration in the world.
As a believer you may not be able to do anything about how you have lived your life in the past, but from this point on you can make a strong decision to settle for nothing less than God’s plan and purpose for your life, because that is where true success lies.
Sin disconnected mankind from God’s divine purpose, and only by being reconciled back to God through Jesus Christ His Son, can we ever succeed in discovering God’s intention for creating us. God cannot be involved with you outside His purpose for your life.
Whenever purpose is not in place, chaos becomes the order of the day, and that will explain why there is so much calamity in the world today. God gets the blame for everything that naturally goes wrong on this planet, when the root of the problem is that mankind itself has not aligned itself with the divine purpose of God.
