FIT FOR PURPOSE

2 Timothy 1:9 AMPC

[For it is He] Who delivered and saved us and called us with a calling in itself holy and leading to holiness [to a life of consecration, a vocation of holiness]; [He did it] not because of anything of merit that we have done, but because of and to further His own purpose and grace (unmerited favor) which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began [eternal ages ago].

 

Are you fit for purpose, especially God’s purpose? Are you created for a purpose? Did God create everyone for a purpose? Being fit for purpose means being equipped by God—spiritually, mentally, and sometimes physically—to fulfil the unique calling and good works He has prepared for each person. This involves obedience, discipline, service, and trust in God’s plan. God has called us to a holy calling for His purpose, even before the world began.

What is your purpose on earth? Have you discovered why you’re here? 

Life gets so busy that sometimes we forget the purpose behind the busyness. We become so driven by the demands of life to do and achieve that we don’t realise we may not be fitting into the greater purpose for our lives.

Because God has a greater purpose for us, Romans 8:28 declares that everything we experience will miraculously work out for our greater good, as God uses them for His glory. 

If you’re wondering, rest in the knowledge that God has a purpose for you, and all His purposes are perfect.

God has a valuable task for every one of us. Every situation in life is uniquely created to fit us; our job is therefore to accept and perfect His will. 

Within the plans of the Father for us, according to Jeremiah 29:11, we must have confidence that the promised hope and future will be peaceful if we walk according to His purpose.

Everything and everyone—good or bad—is made for a specific purpose: first, to worship the Lord and glorify Him, according to Isaiah 43:7. Even the wicked man is made to fit the mould of wickedness, as Proverbs 16:4 says. The Lord declared about Pharaoh in Exodus 9:16 that the purpose of allowing him to live through all the plagues was for the sovereignty of God to be seen. That means Pharaoh’s stubbornness and rebellion were fit for purpose.

God’s purpose for your life precedes any plans you make for yourself; it means, according to 1 Corinthians 3:13, that His purpose is much bigger and more rewarding than your plans. 

Think of yourself as appointed by the Lord to fit a special mould. In 2 Timothy 2:20, we see that we aren’t all called to dance to the same beat—so don’t doubt God’s purpose for you. Despite the detours and destinations, they are meant to fit eventually into that moulded purpose God carved out for you.

Many people, including believers, have allowed society, circumstances, and people to define their purpose and are walking contrary to what God planned long ago for them, according to Isaiah 25:1. God has fitted you to be a square, but because of contrary expectations, you want to be a round shape trying to fit into a square shape.

The enemy uses lies to deceive us into thinking that what we do and who we are doesn’t matter—but it does! Psalm 144:11 adds that God can rescue us and set us on the course of His divine purpose, even when it seems unlikely that He is leading us. Be confidently assured that He has fitted you to be where you are—be it a job, your neighbourhood, school, family, or even marriage—they all fit into His bigger purpose.

God’s greater purpose must always be at the centre of our minds if we don’t want to get to the end of life and realise, we didn’t fit or fulfil our God-given purpose on earth. You are fit for purpose.

PRAYER: Father, help me to apply your divine purpose for creating me to my service in love and humility, to use my gifts and talents as you intend, and to maintain spiritual and physical health while trusting your design for my life, knowing I’ve been equipped for it. In Jesus’ name, amen.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
