SERVING THE PURPOSE OF GOD

SEPTEMBER 19TH

TEXT: Acts 13:36-37King James Version (KJV)

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:

37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

Our focus in today’s text is taken from the “A” part of verse 36 with emphasis on “served God’s will and purpose and counsel”. There are certain glories you cannot walk in even if you fast and pray, you can only access them by following the principles and purpose of God. It is important that we align our lives with the commands of God. It is in the process of growing our walk with God that we find glorious treasures to unlock our destinies. The word of God in Hebrews tells us that He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. He is also not unfaithful to forget your labor of love. To get God looking in your direction, do what He wants you to do with your whole heart and He will certainly reward you.

There is nobody who cannot walk in great glory, the major challenge is the manifestation of the flesh. But once the flesh is tamed or cut off, the glory will be revealed.

There is something on your inside waiting to be made manifest to your generation. The Bible says David served the purpose of God in his generation, he fulfilled God’s plan for his life. By the time you are done and gone, what would be written about you? What will people know you for? People have acquired so many material things, but once they were dead, those things were either sold off or squandered. While some others made so much impact, and one generation after another still remembers them. If you will wait upon the Lord, you will be amazed what He will do through you. It is so important to obey and serve the purpose of God.
