FULFILLING PURPOSE (NEHEMIAH A CASE STUDY)……1

TEXT: NEH 6:15

TOPIC: FULFILLING PURPOSE (NEHEMIAH A CASE STUDY)……1

INTRODUCTION: purpose is the why of a thing, person, activity and action. Fulfilling purpose is to bring to reality the why of a thing, to make happen the intention of the thing, person, and an activity/action. Ecss.  3:1 says to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven. The quoted scriptures outlines three things about a thing viz: season, time and PURPOSE.1 Sam 17:29 says And David said, what have I now done? Is there not a CAUSE? Jer. 1:5 says before I formed thee in the belly I know thee and before thou camest forth out of the womb I SANTIFIED THEE AND I ORDAINED THEE A PROPHET unto the nations. Matt 1:21 and she shall bring forth a son and thou shall call his name Jesus for he shall SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS.1 John 3:8b for this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that HE MIGHT DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL.

The bible is replete with various purpose which were by the grace of God fulfilled so also our text talks of an uncommon type of purpose these days both rhetorically and plainly building/mending broken walls (people would rather cast aspersions/mock/backbite whatever or whoever has a broken walls, or rather become Judge(s)) as a purpose that was fulfilled and finished by the grace of God may God help us all to fulfill purpose in Jesus mighty name.  

PITFALLS WITH PURPOSE:

v  Lack of knowledge on purpose: Hosea 4:6 there are two kind of knowledge that will make anyone’s perishing very fast and sure: not knowing/accepting Jesus as one’s Lord and personal Saviour, secondly not knowing purpose. Perishing will not be our portion in Jesus name Amen. No sane person can pursue with the requisite vigour what is not known.

v  Creating a mundane or quasi purpose: Gen 11 tells a story of men who wanted to build a tower of Babel, even with the understanding that the whole world was just wiped out and Noah and a host of others were spared in Gen 8, they created an anti-God purpose and paid dearly for it, one of such these days is making money as against impact/adding value. (That is why fraud, kidnapping and tricks are prevalent even in hallowed places).   

v  Diversion, most especially by externalities: one of the hardest thing to maintain is focus and a driver that will move fast must have mastered the act of focus, if landing safely is imperative. Few moment of loss of focus of one of the foremost apostle would have finished his existence cum ministry but for grace Matt. 14:24-33.
