BIBLE TEXT: 1 Samuel 17:26-27
[26]And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
[27]And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
LESSON INTRODUCTION: Destiny means your future which has been divinely planned to be great and full of glorious accomplishments. Individual destiny has been aforementioned by Almighty God, which is the reason you have to fight to attain that glorious height God has designed for you. In Exodus 2:1-3, the mother of Moses did initially fight for her son’s destiny before God took over. In verse 3, the Bible says; “And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes …” From the day someone is born, the fight to fulfill their destiny has begun.
LESSON OUTLINE ONE
KNOW YOUR PURPOSE
• When talking of purpose, it means your target, aim, goal, a result that is desired, your strong will or resolution. It also means establishing set of values, principles and beliefs that give life meaning for you and then using those sets of values to guide the decisions and actions you take. What is your purpose on earth?
• You are created by God to give Him pleasure through your act of worship, holiness and righteousness – Job 22:3; Psalms 147:11.
• You are made to bring laughter to others, be devoted to others – 2 Cor. 2:4.
• You are to become like Jesus, always yielding to His longing Phil.3:10.
• You have been won to win others to Christ – 1 Corinthians 9:16.
• Since God is love (John 15:12), you are to love others including unbelievers – Romans 13:8.
