The Holy Spirit spoke this revelation to me in my communion time which carries a strong and urgent emphasis concerning the most important pursuit of our lives which is to know and fulfil the Lord’s purpose for us on earth. It was presented to me as the very reason for our existence from the throne of heaven, and not just as something secondary or optional which we can play with or take for granted.
The foundation of this truth is rooted in 1 John 3:8, which declares that for this reason the Son of God was manifested in the flesh to destroy the works of the devil. This reveals that even Jesus lived on earth as a man entirely for a defined divine purpose and He fulfilled it perfectly, leaving no part of the mission undone.
His life became the absolute standard for us as humans and the Holy Spirit calls for that same level of intentionality in our lives to diligently seek out the Lord’s purpose for us and to carry it out fully to glorify the Father.
A strong warning was given by the Holy Spirit not to substitute the purpose of the Lord with mere “doing good” or just following moral laws as our human flesh desires to do. The revelation makes it clear that doing good for the sake of just obeying laws and not living out the truth is not the same as fulfilling the Lord’s purpose.
True life is found only in our complete alignment with what the Lord has specifically ordained. So even righteous actions, if done in the wrong context or outside of the Holy Spirit’s direction, can be ineffective or even work out contrary to the will of Jesus.
This is truth is illustrated through the example in the life of Jehoshaphat, referenced in 2 Chronicles 19:1–3, where he was corrected by the Lord for supporting King Ahab.
Even though his actions towards Ahab may have appeared good or reasonable from a human perspective, but they were completely misaligned with the Lord’s purpose in working out righteousness which the Lord corrected him on through a prophet and therefore brought a harsh rebuke over his life because it ignored the process of justice.
This highlights a critical truth that human righteousness without alignment to the Lord’s way of righteousness is not righteousness in the Lord’s sight and leaves the foundation of the Kingdom one sided because no justice was applied to ensure righteousness was fully executed.
This revelation emphasises the urgency of us seeking the Lord intentionally and persistently to discover His specific purpose for our lives. It warns that without this clarity of purpose, a person can spend years in unnecessary struggle, pain, and confusion by mistakenly believing they are in the Lord’s will simply because they are doing what seems right from a natural perspective.
Tragically, one could even reach the end of life without receiving a true reward, having missed out on living out the divine assignment of the Lord because of a lack of spiritual discernment concerning how to walk in the will of the Lord.
I am making a heartfelt appeal to you as a follower of Jesus to not rest prematurely on your limited understanding until you know the Lord’s purpose and plan for your life. Then embrace it fully, because it is only in that place that your life hidden in Christ truly begins. This is because purpose is only achieved where fulfilment, clarity, and divine impact are found.
The tone from the Holy Spirit on this matter remains both urgent and compassionate, calling for all followers of Jesus to realign their focus on seeking the Lord wholeheartedly and not just on doing further activity, but on pursuing divine direction so your lives will count for what the Lord intended and purposed for you to fulfil. Revelation.2:1-5.
Today in the name of Jesus may your heart be stirred with a holy urgency to discover the Lord’s purpose and plan for your life and may every distraction, false assumption, and misalignment fall away from your life as you seek the Lord with sincerity and diligence.
I declare that the Holy Spirit will reveal His plan to you with clarity, so that you will walk in it with confidence and abundant grace. I declare that you will no longer labour in vain or live in confusion, but your life will align perfectly with the Lord’s divine intention.
From this day forward, I declare that you will step into your true purpose, and your life will begin to reflect the fullness of what the Lord created you to be on this earth which is to demonstrate His glory on earth for men to see in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
