Luke 4:16(And He came to Nazareth,
where he has been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the
synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 17 And there was
delivered unto him the book of the Prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the
book, he found the place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is
upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath
sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and
recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he
gave it again to the minister and sat down. And the eyes of all them that
were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto the, This
day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears).
We all know that we are created for a
purpose but like I have always said, many have gone through life without
knowing their purpose not even talking of fulfilling them; it is a very sad
situation. Some know but they are unable to fulfill it because they lack power
to do it. That’s why some people will say that they know exactly what to do but
they can’t do it; they will keep singing about it until they end their journey.
The bible says my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6).
If you buy a product and you did not go through the manual you may not be able
to use it; even if you try you may end up spoiling it and not get the full
value for your money. After the fall of man; God in His mercy has made a way of
restoring us back to our original image. He gave the first manual to the
children of Israel when He chose them to be His own and instructed them that
they should not allow the book of law to depart from them and they should teach
their children (Deuteronomy 6:1-9). In those days the Spirit of
God did not live permanently in a man, He chose a vessel for Himself and come
and go (2 Chronicles 20:14). When Jesus Christ was about to leave,
he promised to send us the spirit of the father who will be with us always and
he does (John 14:16-18, John 16:12-16). Now that the Holy Spirit
has been given to us in order to maintain our relationship with him God has
given us a manual that will guide us on how to keep what has been given to us.
Man is empty and purposeless without the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God will
begin to guide and lead us through the path that God has chosen for us but
should in case we don’t get it right the manual is there for us to refer to. We
also need the Holy Spirit to understand the manual; He will open our eyes to
things that ordinarily would not have meant anything to us. Everything
about our life is written in the book but we need to find it and we can’t find
it without reading; we really need to develop the attitude of reading. It is
the knowledge that we acquire that the Holy Spirit will bring to our
remembrance and if we have nothing inside of us he won’t be able to help us.
If anything seems not to be going well we are to go back to the
manufacturer’s manual because it tells us exactly what went wrong and what to
do to correct the mistake that has been made. In this case the Holy Bible is
the manufacturer’s manual given to us by God. David told us in (Psalms
139:16) that everything about him is in that manual that even though he
doesn’t look like what God has planned for him but it is real because it is
written. Friends, your destiny is written down in that book. The same book that
Jesus Christ the son of God opens and finds what was written concerning him (Isaiah
61:1, Luke 4:16-21). The truth is that you can’t use the manual as your
guide and go wrong. So many people assume they know it all and they destroy the
product. Life is too delicate to live in an assumption. Since the day that I
found my purpose there is nothing anyone can do to keep me away no matter how
enticing it looks; I don’t feel it. I am just happy doing what I know I am
created for. And that’s what happens when you find your purpose. Jesus Christ
said that the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant man who found a great pearl
and like a man who found a treasure hidden in a field (Matthew 13:44-46).
The joy, the zeal, and the passion in which you will pursue your purpose are
the proof that you have found it. Please don’t give up yet keep searching the
book you will find your purpose (Matthew 7:7). Ask the Holy
Spirit to help you and show you your purpose. Friends, without a personal relation
with God you may not be able to understand the manual; nobody knows the product
better than the manufacturer. In case you have not, here is another opportunity
to accept Jesus as your Lord and savior.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a
sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your
precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord
Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
