ALL THINGS WORKING TOGETHER FOR YOU.

We are assured and know that all things work together and are for good to and for those who love God and are called according to His design and purpose.........................It is God who made us and called us into existence out of His design and purpose. He designed us in His own special way to suit our purpose for life. My design according to God`s plan is different from your design because we carry different purposes in life. So, it is God`s design of us that determines our purpose. It is also God`s purpose for us that determines what we go through in life. God does not do anything without a purpose and it is God`s purpose that determines the happenings that surrounds our purpose. It is God`s purpose for your life that determines the happenings around you. Comparing one person with another person is not a wise thing to do because individuals carry different purposes in life according to God`s plans and design for them and this is reflective of the happenings that surrounds each individual. God`s purpose for Moses was different from that of Joshua, so was their designs and so was the happenings that surrounded their lives. The happenings that surrounds one`s life can be likened to what a person is going through in life. The happenings that surrounds a person`s life/what a person is said to be going through in life is made to suit the person`s design and this is made to suit the person`s purpose. All that Moses went through in life was made to suit his purpose of delivering the children of Israel from the hands of Pharaoh. The circumstances surrounding his birth, his upbringing in the palace of Egypt, his exile away from Egypt etc were made to suit his divine purpose. If we look at the life of Joseph also, we will see that his divine design was made to suit his divine purpose and the happenings/circumstances that surrounded his life were also made to suit his divine purpose. He was sold into slavery by his brothers. He became a prisoner for an offence he did not commit...All these happenings/life circumstances were suited for his divine purpose of becoming the prime minister of Egypt. People like David, Solomon, Samson, Christ and Apostle Paul just to mention a few were brilliant designs of the all-creative God and they all went through different circumstances/situations/happenings in life which was indicative of the kind of purpose they were to execute on earth. David was a person that was trained to be a shepherd boy. He would look after the sheep of his father with utmost care and he was accountable unto his father for each sheep. He was a person that had no rest at a point in his life because somebody was after his life for one reason or the other. He had to run from one place to another because his life was continuously in danger. He went through all these because of the unique purpose that God had for him. Solomon was an offspring of an adulterous fling and it was very shameful at that time and even till now for someone to come from such a root but he had to come from such a root because of the kind of purpose that he had to fulfill on earth. Samson came from the loins of a couple that were victims of barrenness for a couple of years. His birth was predicted/prophesied and certain things were stated as to be observed by his parents which were to be observed on his account because of his purpose. No razor was allowed to come on his head for as long as he lived and he was not allowed to drink just anything because of the kind of purpose he was to carry out on earth. Christ came on earth on a controversial note. His mother who claimed to be a virgin further claimed she was impregnated by an unseen personality and her boy friend attested to it. When Christ was to be born, there was no good place for him to come forth other than a manger where animals were kept. He was a victim of assaults, ridicule, insult, criticisms etc from the people of his day because of the kind of purpose he was to fulfill on earth. Apostle Paul was another character of note. He was responsible for persecuting anyone who publicly claimed to be a follower of Christ. He would beat them, injure them and throw them into prison. He even master-minded the death of Stephen. When he became a christian, he had to go through what he subjected other Christians to when he was not born again. He was beaten and disgraced publicly several times and he was even dragged from prison to prison. He was a man who was in perpetual chains in prison cells. He went through all those stuffs because of the kind of purpose that God had for him. Dear reader, what you may be experiencing today in your life may be unpalatable and may be too hard for you to bear but they are necessary for your purpose to be fulfilled in life. Even God`s word had to go through fire several times for it to be what it is today. If you are saved and washed by the blood of the Lamb, all things that you are passing through will eventually work together for your GOOD. After all that Moses passed through in life, He later led the children of Israel(about a million people) out of slavery and He fulfilled his purpose for good on earth. After all that Joseph passed through in life, he later became the prime minister of a foreign country of Egypt thereby preserving lives from hunger and destruction and he fulfilled his purpose for good. After all that David passed through in life, he became Israel`s most successful king who never lost a battle and he even became a man after God`s heart and he fulfilled his purpose for good. After all that Solomon passed through, he became Israel wealthiest and wisest king and he fulfilled his purpose for good. After all that Samson passed through in life, he became Israel`s greatest deliverer/judge and even after his fall, he still made Heaven thereby fulfilling his purpose for good. After all that Christ passed through on earth, he fulfilled his purpose of saving humanity from sin and reconciling mankind to God. He is to be honoured and glorified in Heaven and on earth from eternity to eternity. After all that Apostle Paul passed through, he fulfilled his purpose of reaching out to the gentile/heathen nations thereby delivering their inheritance in Christ Jesus to them. All things worked together for the above-mentioned personalities. In view of this, I see ALL THINGS (not some things) working together for your good and to your advantage no matter what you are going through now or what you have passed through in the past in Jesus precious name. I see you fulfilling your purpose in grand style by the help of the Almighty God in Jesus precious name. It is well with you!
