Title: Jacob - Fulfilling God's Purpose
Author: Palitha Jayasooriya
Text: Genesis 28
Introduction:
You know, I was reading about the well loved preacher Billy Graham a couple of days ago. It is said that when Billy Graham joined Bible College in the 30's, he was once asked to preach a sermon impromptu. He apparently preached four borrowed sermons in eight minutes! But that day he felt a clear call to preach, and from there on, he used every opportunity that he could, to preach, which wasn't many at that time. As a result, he used to take a boat and go across the river and preach to the surrounding trees, birds, and alligators. That's how he built his preaching ministry.
Sometime later, while on a walk in the night, he fell on his knees and he said, "Lord if you want me to serve you, I will do it." That day the ministry and the purpose of Billy Graham's life was clearly set.
Proposition: Today, I want to speak to you about fulfilling God's purpose over your life.
I want to be very clear here that whatever you may be doing, whether you are in the ministry, whether you are in the secular field, whether you are taking a home cell, whether you are in some leadership position in the church, or outside the church, in your company, or in your workplace, maybe even in your school, whatever it may be, God has a purpose for your life.
I want to encourage every one of you, and I pray that as I speak today, that you will make a clear decision, asking God to fulfill His great purpose in your life. And that purpose does not change as we grow older, for at every stage of our life, there is a purpose that God wants to fulfill in and through us.
According to the Cambridge Dictionary the word 'purpose' is described as, "Why you do something - or why something exists in your life". A leadership guru by the name of Roger Allen said, "A purpose is your reason for being, and defines the contribution you want to make to the world". Let's therefore be clear that ev ...
