Sermon 010 : God is the God of Purpose

Everything God created has a reason behind it. He does nothing without purpose, and nothing in life exists by accident. Purpose is the original intent for the creation of a thing that was in the mind of its Creator. As the Scriptures say, “You can make many plans, but the LORD’s purpose will prevail.” (Proverbs 19:21)

Not every purpose is known—but everything has a purpose. God created all things—whether we see them as good or bad—for His reasons: from plants like tobacco and marijuana, to creatures like snakes and insects, to even things like alcohol. It’s not the existence of these things that is the problem; it’s the ignorance of their purpose that leads to abuse.

Where purpose is unknown, abuse is inevitable.

For example, Apostle Paul told Timothy, “Don’t drink only water. You ought to drink a little wine for the sake of your stomach because you are sick so often.” (1 Timothy 5:23) The problem is not the thing, but the misuse of the thing.

When you don’t know the purpose of:

• A husband or wife → You abuse the marriage.
• Children → You mistreat or neglect them.
• Money → You misuse it, and it may even destroy you.
• Work → You may abuse your opportunities and waste your potential.

You’ve heard of child abuse, marriage abuse, money abuse, even job abuse. Purpose is the key to fulfillment.

Purpose is only fully known by the creator of a thing. Only God knows exactly why He created something; others can only guess. Just like you can’t take your car to a phone repair shop and expect it to work, you cannot understand life without seeking the Creator who designed it.

When you discover your purpose, you unlock your destiny.

God created you for a divine purpose. “The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it.” (Psalm 37:29)

Right now, the world is in confusion because Satan has blinded many people to God’s true purposes. But God’s Kingdom is coming to take over. The righteous will reign on the earth under the rulership of the Lord Jesus Christ—the true King of kings.

Discover your purpose. Live by it. And you will find true fulfillment in life.
