Fulfilling God’s Purpose? Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye

Genesis_1-26: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth

Memorise

And The LORD God Took The Man, And Put Him Into The Garden Of Eden To Dress It And To Keep It.
Genesis 2:15

Read

Genesis 1:26-28 (KJV)
26 And God Said, Let Us Make Man In Our Image, After Our Likeness: And Let Them Have Dominion Over The Fish Of The Sea, And Over The Fowl Of The Air, And Over The Cattle, And Over All The Earth, And Over Every Creeping Thing That Creepeth Upon The Earth.
27 So God Created Man In His Own Image, In The Image Of God Created He Him; Male And Female Created He Them.
28 And God Blessed Them, And God Said Unto Them, Be Fruitful, And Multiply, And Replenish The Earth, And Subdue It: And Have Dominion Over The Fish Of The Sea, And Over The Fowl Of The Air, And Over Every Living Thing That Moveth Upon The Earth.

MESSAGE

At The Very Beginning Of Creation And Before The Fall Of Man In Genesis Chapter Three, The Instruction Given To Humanity Can Be Safely Classified Into Three Categories.

Category One

Is To Cultivate The Land And To Keep It. The Words “Subdue”, “Have Dominion”, And “Rule” Are All Pointers To What Is Required To Effectively Keep The Land As Steward-Kings Of God’s Creation.

Category Two

Is The Institution Of Law With The Purpose Of Teaching People To Live Under Authority.

The Third Category

Is The Institution Of Marriage To Expose People To The Principle Of Love And Teach People To Live For Someone Other Than Themselves. From That Very Beginning, God Made It Very Clear That He Is Not Abandoning Us To Ourselves To Figure Things Out All Alone. He Wants Us To Use Everything We Have To Serve Him And Humanity, Therefore Manual Labour Or Service At This Level Was Not The Result Of The Fall, Rather It Was Part Of God’s Original Purpose For Humanity. The Truth Is Evident In Genesis 2:15-18, Which Says:
“15 And The LORD God Took The Man, And Put Him Into The Garden Of Eden To Dress It And To Keep It. 16 And The LORD God Commanded The Man, Saying, Of Every Tree Of The Garden Thou Mayest Freely Eat: 17 But Of The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil, Thou Shalt Not Eat Of It: For In The Day That Thou Eatest Thereof Thou Shalt Surely Die. 18 And The LORD God Said, It Is Not Good That The Man Should Be Alone; I Will Make Him An Help Meet For Him.”
The Starting Point Of Fulfilling God’s Purpose For Anyone Therefore, Is To Be Productive. Since We Are Discussing The Very First Set Of Instructions To Humanity, Obedience To God Must Necessarily Start From Here. A True Believer Is To Provide For His Near Relatives And His Immediate Family At The Same Time. It Is Not By Choice; Failure To Provide For One’s Family Is Equal To Denial Of The Faith As Stated In 1 Timothy 5:8:
“But If Any Provide Not For His Own, And Specially For Those Of His Own House, He Hath Denied The Faith, And Is Worse Than An Infidel.”
This Is The Major Reason Why Believers Must Be Busy Doing Something Worthwhile In Life. If A Christian Is Unable To Care For His Family, Such A Person Will Be Unable To Love And Care For Others. The Bible Says That Such People Are Worse Than Infidels. Now It Is Possible To Be In Such A State Temporarily Due To Several Reasons, But It Must Not Be Accepted As Permanent Status. A Faithful Christian Will Soon Find Favour With God And Man That Will Pull Him Or Her Out Of Such Despicable Situation. I Therefore Prophecy Into The Life Of Anyone In Such A Situation Reading This Devotional Today, The Great Provider Will Transfer You From Poverty To Abundance Today In Jesus’ Name. For Those That Are Looking Unto God For Profitable Ventures, Receive It Now In The Name Of Jesus. From This Day, You Will Begin To Fulfill God’s Purpose For Your Life In The Mighty Name Of Jesus.

Prayer Point

Mark 10:46-12:40
Job 20:1-19

Genesis_1-31: And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day
