It was the will of God for Christ to die. Christ was not oblivious of His mission here on earth.
This can be ascertained in his statement,
“Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.” ◄ Hebrews 10:7 ►
This statement was a profiling to his purpose on earth.
Let us examine something.
— THEN SAID I, LO, I COME (IN THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME…)
The above statement is one of an already discovered purpose.
What Christ was saying is this, “I know why I’m here on earth. I am not a purposeless being! I am not here by accident, but I am here as a purposeful Being predestined by God.”
Predestination is the intention of God, not the decision of God.
From Christ’s statement, it can be inferred that we are all purposeful beings predestined by God for greatness.
No one is an accident.
You were created on purpose for a purpose which has to be discovered.
—The second part of the statement says, “…TO DO THY WILL, O GOD.”
This depicts the purpose for which Christ came to the world.
His purpose was, “…TO DO THY WILL, O GOD.”
If Christ was clueless about His purpose on earth, He wouldn’t have been able to fulfill that which was written concerning Him.
Above and below, an unidentified purpose is an unfulfilled life.
Before Christ departed, He left behind a principle for purpose discovery.
His principle is short, simple and straightforward.
His principle has produced[and is still producing] great people.
His principle has lifted[and is still upraising] people from the dunghill of sin to sit among princes.
His principle has always, “…raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, and he hath set the world upon them.” ◄ 1 Samuel 2:8►
His principle, unambiguously, says and I quote,
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” ◄ Matthew 6:33►
Note that the word ‘FIRST‘ is used in term of priority. It is in our place of seeking God that we will get to discover our true reason for existing.
Finding God is finding ourselves.
God has an assignment for our lives. This assignment is what we called, “PURPOSE.”
It is this assignment that will put you in the right place at the right time with the right group of people and location to fulfill his purpose for your life.
Note this, a lifestyle of constant failure and futility are as a result of living our lives out of focus to the purpose and plan of God.
The Devil’s goal is to keep the believer blinded and out of focus to his or her life’s assignment. When he does that, he keep the believer in a lifestyle of failure and strife.
The power of the oppressor is the ignorance of the oppressed.
