For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)
Purpose is the reason for which something was made.
Every product was meant to solve a particular problem,and we are created by God to solve a particular problem.
See yourself as a problem solver,see yourself as a Solution.
Have you ever seen,where a solution is looking for solution?
I see believers running around town,from one prayer house to another looking for solution;You are a Solution to your generation.
Lets share a few things about a product;
No product was made to satisfy itself.
Does coca cola drink coca cola? No!
Every product was made not to meet its need but the need of another.
Every product was made not to meet its need but the need of another.
We are made to be the solution to the needs of others,God specifically structured you,created you to meet the needs of someone,to be the solution of a generation.
The need is the reason of the product.
Before a product is made,a need must be found.
You don't make a product without a need,you must discover the need before you create a solution.
That tells you that you are created to meet a particular problem,
After a product is created, it is brought out to the public through advertising and marketing,someone announces the presence of the product.Companies spend so much money to advertise their product,this is so because,how you present the product determines the traffic for that product.
But there's the time of the packaging of the product,to make it look nice and the product is made to satisfy its customers.
God is taking you through the process so that you will be well packaged and ready for your clients.God is the one that will announce you to the customers,you don't worry about that.He is preparing you to meet their needs.
Just as the product is created to satisfy the need of others, that's how we are created to satisfy the need of others.
Every products have an opposition,a competition.There are forces out there that would like to make sure you don't reach out to your clients(the people God has called you to reach,those you are created for).
Satan has set his opposition to stop you from fulfilling your purpose,so that you will just be there existing doing nothing.But in the midst of the opposition we are excelling and fulfilling purpose,Because greater is he in us than he in the world.
Every product has its strong point ,something about it that makes it standout.
Till now no one knows what makes Coca Cola thick,the secrete behind Coca Cola's success.
So also,our producer has put something in us that makes us standout no matter the competition,even in the drought,we are excelling and moving forward.That deposit of God in us makes us stand out in all season,prospering and progressing.
Lets look at the life of Joseph,Born to a large family,was the last son and most precious to his father Isaac.Joseph was born for a purpose and his purpose was revealed at the end of the day in
Genesis 45:7-8
And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.As Joseph grew up ,God gave him an idea of his Vision,his plans for him,that he would be great.
God usually gives only an idea,just a glimpse,he doesn't give the full picture as you take it one step at a time you will discover the rest.
He told his vision to his family;Its important you share the dream,talking about your dream will provoke the enemy to action,the enemy is a tool to help bring your dream to reality.
Don't be afraid because any man on a mission will be preserved by his purpose.
His brothers could not accept that dream,but they knew that the dream could become a reality,though they mocked him that he is a dreamer, they were threatened by the dream.
They tried to kill him,how i wish they knew they were about to kill their angel.
You must face opposition,and don't be surprised your opposition will come from those who you think love you.David said,"A man's enemies are members of his own household".
Expect to face opposition,in fact one of the proofs that its a vision from God it must face opposition.
Any man with a mission on their life, must face opposition,even the threat of death.
Jesus our lord faced opposition.When he was born, Herod killed many children Just because of Jesus,and many other times they tried to kill Jesus but he always walked through,he escaped.When he finally died,it was part of his purpose to die.
A man with purpose will be preserved until his time to leave this world comes.
They tried to kill Paul too,in fact he died once and got up,bitten by a viper but still alive,ship wrecks but he survived.What a man! Purpose preserves life.
He only died when he finished his work.
Purpose attracts opposition but it also preserves you in opposition.
They put Joseph in the pit,then sold him to the merchants then to Portiphars house at every stage he met a need,then to the prison,but he carried Gods grace and favor on him.
A man with purpose has favor,Gods grace upon him.
Finally when it came for him to get to the palace,God created another problem that only Joseph could solve.
There's a problem only you can solve and its waiting for you.
Joseph finally became the president of Egypt,see how the world goes in circles,you would have thought he would not meet his brothers again,but see our God,the creator,created another problem that made his brothers come to Egypt.
Your problem will identify you,Joseph was meant to solve this problem.
Joseph the problem solver,he was always ready to solve problems without pay,we never see him charging A fee for solving problems.
Is there something you love doing that you don't get paid for,that's the test that you must pass.If you are faithful in little things God will put much in your hands.
God created you to meet a need,don't worry about the need,just build yourself in your passion and let God create the problem.Have a good attitude to helping people solve problems,you don't know which one will be the jackpot.
Jesus said some of you served angels but you didn't know,how? they asked,when you served one of the least of your brothers.
My mother in the lord,Dr Joyce Ogwezi,was lecturing in a university,loving what she does and been faithful when a well known oil company,called her up to take a responsibility created just for her.
There's a need only you can solve.
Daniel was a dream interpreter,God gave Pharaoh dreams,his prophets could not interpret except Daniel.There is a problem only you can solve,be faithful were you are solving small problems,there's a bigger one that will bring about your lifting.
David was fighting Lions,Tigers and Bears,faithful in small things,God brought a Goliath bigger,and David proved himself,what he learnt in the bush he proved in the field.
Goliath came down and David became a hero.
There's a problem only you can solve.
God creates the product and the market for the product.
You are a man with a mission,on a mission for a mission.
