1 Corinthians 2:7 MSG

“Where the purpose is unknown abuse is inevitable.”

God’s wisdom is something mysterious that goes deep into the interior of his purposes. You don’t find it lying around on the surface. It’s not the latest message, but more like the oldest—what God determined as the way to bring out his best in us, long before we ever arrived on the scene.

1. Purpose is the key that unlocks opportunity. Within everyman is a hidden gift. A divine deposit. A gift that opens up great doors. Your purpose is more than just “living” – it’s leaving a legacy.

2. God, the Provider is the Venture Capitalist for your purpose. God supplies seed for the sower and bread for the eater; meaning that he always gives man a start. He gave Adam a Garden of Seed so that he could dominate the entire world. The Garden was a Seed Store.

3. Purpose helps you avoid unnecessary conflict in your life. Most men live distracted lives. They adopt unnecessary, sophomoric habits that rob them of time, health, and money. You can’t conquer giants when you have been defeated by distractions.

4. Expect God to provide hidden strategies to accomplish your purpose. There is knowledge that is yet to be revealed to man. Knowledge that is hidden and that can only be brought to revealed through the Spirit of God. Only a man of prayer can tap into this kind of revelation.

5. Don’t discuss your plans with those who are not involved in fulfilling them. Those who don’t dream despise those who can dream. You will often find resentment from those who hear your dream.

6. Be diligent to your purpose. Do not procrastinate. There will be seasons that your dream seems to have no momentum; however, you must be diligent to pursue it. Plan, prepare and pray.

7. Every vision and purpose of God experiences a death, burial, resurrection, and glorification. Meditate on this process. It is the process that governs the earth – seedtime and harvest. As long as the earth endures, it will be governed by this process.
