PRAISE IS YOUR PURPOSE

PRAISE IS YOUR PURPOSE
This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
Isaiah 43:21 (KJV)
Purpose is the original intention for the creation of a thing. For everything created there was a purpose behind the manufacturer’s mind for the making of that thing. Man is the creation of Yahweh and He didn’t leave us ignorant of the purpose for Him making man. Dr Myles says that if purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable. The reason there is so much abuse of purpose in the human race is because for most part, most people don’t even know the purpose for which they are alive. They were born into a routine of being born, going to school, getting a job or starting an enterprise, getting married and giving birth to children, growing old and dying. Most people go through this routine and for them, that is life. No wonder, there is so much bustle in the rat race. Everyone wants to beat everyone else. For the majority, there is no consciousness of purpose at all. Consequently, what you don’t know you can’t pursue. The good news is that man has a purpose for his making and it can be discovered. There is the general purpose of man and there is the specific purpose of man. The specific purpose gives the individual the specific ways to fulfil the general purpose. By all means the general purpose is the life assignment of man and that is to show forth the praises of the Yahweh; to bring Yahweh praise and glory. Whatever man is doing that does not fulfil this purpose is a wasted life and securing an eternity in agony and anguish. Though praising Yahweh is our purpose, it is only the living that can praise the Lord (see Isaiah 38:19). Ephesians 2:1 says that we were dead in trespasses and sins. Apostle Paul says that the law came and sin revived in him, thereby killing him (see Romans 7:9). Sin kills and Romans 3:23 says that all have sinned and come short of the glory of Yahweh. Therefore, everyone born of a woman was born in sin, consequently, spiritually dead. That implies that you cannot praise Yahweh until you are alive and living.

WHAT FASTING OFFERS (6): ERUPTION OF SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING
Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, …
Isaiah 58:8 (KJV)
We are living in the days of prophetic gross darkness (see Isaiah 60:1-2). Darkness connotes the devil and all his manifestations. Darkness is a state of visionlessness, purposelessness, and hopelessness. Darkness is a state where you do not know what to do, where to go and what to expect. Darkness is a state of confusion, contradiction, conflict and depression. Light here implies illumination, insight, understanding and enlightenment. Light here means the opening of the Word of God for you to the point of understanding and seeing really what God is showing you from the pages of scripture. To be lighted is to be lifted. To be illuminated is to be elevated. The glory of your life is at the mercy of light because until you are illuminated, you will end up eliminated. Your change of story is at the instance of light. Until you can see it, you cannot seize it. Your inheritance in HaMashiach (Christ) is available and ready for the taking, but it would take you to see it to seize it. So anything that you would do to see the hidden treasures behind the written Word, it is wisdom to go for it.

WHAT IS IN DIVINE DIRECTION FOR YOU (2): OPPOSITIONS ARE TAKEN OUT
Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
II Thessalonians 1:6 (KJV)
When you follow divine direction, oppositions to your Yahweh-ordained inheritance are taken care of by Yahweh. Yahweh takes your enemies down for your sake. It is a righteous thing with Yahweh to smite all that rise up against you (see II Thessalonians 1:6). Even Yahushua had to surrender himself otherwise no hands could be laid on Him. Those that came to arrest the Lord Yahushua had to fall before him. They couldn’t stand his presence. No man could harm Yahushua until He surrendered himself for the cross. John 18:4-6 showed us that, ‘4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? 5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.’ You are indomitable walking in the will of Yahweh; following divine direction for your life. I Peter 3:13 says, ‘And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?’ You are unconquerable following divine direction because all the powers of heaven are at your disposal to handle any satanic uprisings. You don’t struggle to reign and rule following divine direction.
EXPECT DIVINE VISITATION – YAHUSHUA’S BIRTHDAY EVE

EXPECT DIVINE VISITATION – YAHUSHUA’S BIRTHDAY EVE
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Luke 1:28 (KJV)
It takes a divine visitation to establish a great celebration in the lives of people. This is a season of divine visitation and you must not be carried away with the celebration and miss the visitation. It is the visitation that establishes a change of story that leads to the celebration. We are celebrating the result of a great visitation both to the lives of Mary and Joseph in particular and to humanity at large. I desire that you connect to their testimony and ask Yahweh for a visitation to you today that people will read tomorrow and glorify Him. Now it doesn’t matter how bad your situation is, the visitation of Yahweh will give you a change of story. For several years, Elizabeth was called barren but one day in Luke 1:11-20, there was a divine visitation to Zechariah her husband which established a change of story for her. Over the next nine months, the barren become a joyful mother of a prophet by that great visitation.

QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (7): NO PRECONCEIVED OPTIONS
Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
Ezekiel 14:3 (KJV)
Ezekiel 14:4 says, ‘Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the Lord will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;’ Yahweh is saying that don’t come to seek for my direction if you already have option in your heart. You have decided what to do then you come to the Lord and say “Lord, what do you want me to do about so so and so?” Meanwhile, you have already made up your mind on what you are doing. That attitude blocks you from ever accessing divine direction. You must come to the Lord with open mind like a baby who truly does not know what to do concerning the area you are seeking direction from Yahweh. Yahweh says, if you have your preconceived ways and you come to make a fool of Yahweh, then He will make a fool of you. He will answer you according to your heart. You know what that means? He will okay whatever you have made up your mind to do even if it will take your life, He would not disturb you. He is answering you according to your heart.

QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (6): PRAISE LIFESTYLE
Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the mighty One of Israel.
Isaiah 30:29 (KJV)
It is a spiritual reality that having a song facilitates hearing from Yahweh. At a point, the prophet Elisha needed to know what Yahweh was saying to the kings that came to inquire of the Lord about the journey they were undertaking. In II Kings 3:15 Prophet Elisha requested that a minstrel be brought to him and as the minstrel played the hand of the Lord came upon the Prophet and he prophesied. Praise is Yahweh’s habitat. When praise is available the presence of Yahweh is invoked and when Adonai is available, then His voice can be heard. Anyone that desires to get divine direction must strive to provide the atmosphere for the presence of Yahweh. You must run away from any form of gloom, anger, boredom, depression and weariness. These are enemies of Yahweh’s presence. Do you know that in the ancient times, you dare not appear before a king with a sad face. That is automatic death sentence. It is considered as treason. How are kings welcomed? By singing and dancing and rejoicing. Earthly kings learnt those protocols from Yahweh. You cannot have access to the presence of Yahweh with a gloomy heart and face. You want direction from Yahweh? Then you need to enter His presence first.

QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (4): BE IN FAITH
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
Romans 4:17 (KJV)
Yahweh spoke about Abraham, ‘For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.’ That is before Yahweh ever start speaking to a person, he checks if you believe Him enough to regard what He is going to tell you. Yahweh was going to check if what He heard about the people of Sodom was truly how they were and He passed through the house of Abraham. Then Yahweh said to Himself ‘And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;’ Adonai saw that Abraham believes everything He tells him so it evoked His desire to confide in Abraham what He was going to do in Sodom. Beloved, faith is a crucial qualification to access divine direction. Yahweh does not speak to those who make light of His Word. If Yahweh’s Word is not a matter of life and death for you then you would not be able to access it. You must believe El-Shaddai enough to act on whatever He tells you to do.

QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (3): BE IN AND WALK IN LOVE
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:15 (KJV)
John 14:16-17 says, ‘16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.’ The context of this scripture shows us that your ability to walk with the Holy Spirit is conditioned upon you loving the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach. You can see that loving the Lord Yahushua is not a thing of saying “I love You Lord” that may definitely be included but loving the Lord is keeping his commandments. Keeping the commandments of Yahweh is in two folds. Firstly, is to believe in the Son of Yahweh Yahushua HaMashiach. I John 3:23 says, ‘And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.’ This is the first step towards keeping the new covenant commandment. The rationale is that a dead person does not keep any commandment. Without coming to the life quickening Spirit Yahushua HaMashiach to be quickened, you are permanently dead in trespasses and condemned to eternal damnation (see Colossians 2:13). The dead has no business with the living. You cannot communicate with the Holy Spirit, if your spirit is dead, therefore divine direction does not pertain to such a person.

QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (1): BE HIS SON
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Romans 8:14 (KJV)
From today to a couple of days coming, we shall be examining what qualifies one to be led by Yahweh. Does Adonai lead everyone? Are there indications that will place one on the pedestal where He can access divine direction? Now the truth is that Yahweh is always speaking. But the problem is not many people are connected with Him at His frequency in order to receive His signals. For instance, that you are not tuned in to a radio station that is broadcasting does not negate the fact that they are broadcasting. With the right equipment and tuning, you are in to receive their waves and suddenly you come alive to their service and under the influence of their voice. Yahweh is always speaking, but a lot of people are not turned into His frequency. Today, one qualification we are considering is that you must be a son of Yahweh to be led. A son of Yahweh is that person who has come of age to discern the voice of His Father and is committed to obeying His voice.
