a sermon on how to fulfill God's purpose in your life

3. Jeremiah 1:4-10 KJVS
4Then the word of the Lord came unto
me, saying, [5] Before I formed thee in
the belly I knew thee; and before thou
camest forth out of the womb I
sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a
prophet unto the nations.

4. 6] Then said I, Ah, Lord God ! behold,
I cannot speak: for I am a child. [7]
But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I
am a child: for thou shalt go to all
that I shall send thee, and
whatsoever I command thee thou
shalt speak.

5. [8] Be not afraid of their faces: for I
am with thee to deliver thee, saith
the Lord . [9] Then the Lord put
forth his hand, and touched my
mouth. And the Lord said unto me,
Behold, I have put my words in thy
mouth.

6. [10] See, I have this day set thee
over the nations and over the
kingdoms, to root out, and to pull
down, and to destroy, and to throw
down, to build, and to plant.

YOUR LIFE WHILE
FOCUSING ON YOUR
OWN PLANS.

thee a prophet unto the nations.

13. Three important things to know why
God valued us
 God knew you before He formed you
 God cleansed ( sanctified) you from your iniquities
 Hebrews 10:10 KJVS By the which will we are sanctified through the
offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all .
 1 Corinthians 6:11 KJVS And such were some of you: but ye are
washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the
Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
 He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of
anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace"
(2 Timothy 1:9).

God valued us.
God chose( ordained) you to be His
workmanship
Ephesians 2:10 KJVS For we are his
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto
good works, which God hath before ordained
that we should walk in them.

15. 2. See your quality by perceiving How
God qualifies you v. 6-7
 Jeremiah 1:6-7 KJVS Then said I, Ah, Lord God ! behold, I
cannot speak: for I am a child. [7] But the Lord said unto me,
Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send
thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
 If you want to know who you are, know who your creator is.

16. 2. See your quality by perceiving How
God qualifies you v. 6-7
 Just remember: “Jacob was a cheater, Peter had a temper, David
had an affair, Noah got drunk, Jonah ran from God, Paul was a
murderer, Gideon was insecure, Miriam was a gossip, Martha
was a worrier, Thomas was a doubter, Sara was impatient, Elijah
was moody, Moses stuttered, Abraham was old,… and Lazarus
was dead. God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the
CALLED!”

deliver thee, saith the Lord . [9] Then the Lord put forth his hand,
and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have
put my words in thy mouth.

you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the
earth" (Exodus 9:16

thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be
trodden under foot of men. [14] Ye are the light of the world.
A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. [15] Neither do
men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a
candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
[16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see
your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
