MESSAGE: – Open Heaven 28 August 2022 Sunday Daily Devotional
Every human being on the surface of the earth was born for a purpose. I know this because God does not do anything just for the sake of doing it; there is always a purpose behind His actions. If He made you and put you on this earth, then there is a purpose for your life.
Unfortunately, however, many people don’t end up fulfilling the purpose for which God brought them into this world. One of the reasons is that many never even get to know their purpose in life.
Another reason is that even when some discover their purpose, they get distracted by the devil and end up pursuing other things rather than the purpose of God for their lives There are certain features that God built into you your talents and gifts.
You need to discover them and then go back to God to tell you what they were built into you to do. Josephs talent was to interpret dreams and administer resources. He managed Potiphars resources so well that Potiphar put all his possessions in Josephs care. He also interpreted his fellow prisoners and Pharaohs dreams correctly.
However, his purpose was to save the world from starving to death in famine. “but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.” Genesis 50:20. When you have discovered your gifts and asked God how those gifts should be used to fulfil your purpose, take note of one thing which the devil uses to distract many people – selfishness.
The only way a person can fulfill his purpose in life is if he is selfless. A tree bears its fruit for others to eat and that is how it fulfils its purpose. Your purpose is not to amass wealth for yourself but to impact lives. If you pay attention only to your needs, you would not fulfil purpose, but if you pay attention to meeting the needs of others, then you would fulfil purpose.
If you are ready to make sacrifices just so that you can impact the lives of other people positively, then you are on the path to fulfilling purpose. The lives you impact, the souls you win for Christ and your good works will be recorded in heaven (Revelation 20:12) That is all that will matter when you are gone.

OPEN HEAVEN 28 AUGUST 2022 SUNDAY HYMN
HYMNAL: 13 – MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS
1 My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
but wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand:
all other ground is sinking sand;
all other ground is sinking sand.
2 When darkness veils his lovely face,
I rest on his unchanging grace;
in every high and stormy gale,
my anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]
3 His oath, his covenant, his blood,
support me in the whelming flood;
when all around my soul gives way,
he then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain]
4 When he shall come with trumpet sound,
O may I then in him be found:
dressed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain]
