John 8:13-14 ‘So, the Pharisees said to Him, “You are bearing witness about yourself (but He bore witness of Himself because He is the LORD); Your testimony is not true.” JESUS answered, “Even if I do bear witness about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.’

Holy Spirit said to me (which I believe He wants you to answer to) “You know where you come from but where are you going?”
Me: To Heaven.
Holy Spirit: Say after Me, ‘To fulfill PURPOSE’.
Me: To fulfill PURPOSE.
Holy Spirit: You can not come to Heaven without fulfilling purpose. All who have called my friend (Immediately, I had a mental picture of Moses, David, Abraham, Joshua the High Priest), now in Heaven were received because they fulfilled PURPOSE.
JESUS said I know where I came from – but why did I come from there? I could have stayed back if all I needed to do was to just walk the earth and return. Was my main reason simply to come and go back to heaven?
He came to establish a new covenant on earth and save mankind; the ultimate desire and will of the Father that all men be saved and come into an intimate, never ending fellowship with Him, He had more than just to die and return afterwards. Even in the between the transition between His death and Resurrection, He dismantle the powers and authorities of the devil, hades, grave and death setting the devil forever in his continuous move towards his day of damnation.
Where are you going child? It is not just heaven. Fulfilling GOD’s divine will for our lives is being in Heaven [Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven – Luke 11:2]. And finally, when the time does come, after fulfilling all and being empty of all earthly embedded gifting and treasures (treasures are potentials, talents and abilities residing in your that you must discover some you may not even know are there) and being filled with fullness of Heaven and Christ’s Spirit. If it is by Chariots of fire, or whirlwind, or laid to rest in the peace of the LORD, our humble souls shall see the face of the LORD in glory but not without fulfilling His will and completing that which have sent to do.
You are very important, too important even if you don’t believe it. Even if you don’t get to travel the whole world preaching the gospel like evangelists, the little spot you hold is very important to GOD. Like Mary whose main purpose was to raise Christ, Elizabeth scorned bore John the Baptist in old age (he is seen as one of the greatest prophets of old), Samson’s parent and other parents of old and now. Many which were not mentioned more than once but without their involvement, they would have crippled the plans of GOD. The boy with the loaves of bread and fishes which he gave to JESUS, though we don’t know his name but will forever be remembered. His giving was instrumental to us seeing a dimension of GOD we had not known. The adulterous wife of Hosea who later changed, her lifestyle GOD used to demonstrated Israel’s relationship and attitude towards Him. Ananias, the person GOD used to commence Paul’s ministry. Paul did exploit in the Kingdom with the comforting hands of Barnabas.
Child, you are important! You may not understand your role yet. It might not look like it is necessary but without you, the purposes of GOD could be thwarted. The LORD sees the ‘small’ you in a different and greater light than you see yourself. You can do it! He chose you because He knows you can and He will help fulfill all He has spoken over and inscribed within the scrolls concerning you.
You are not your own the bible tells us. The grace we have each received should not be compared among ourselves. The bible says it is foolish to do so. We have different roles in the kingdom. Not everyone will be pioneers of kingdom movement but no matter the eye dares not say to the heart I don’t need you. Everyone sees the eyes, the lips and the outer ward organs but the not more important than the organs we can’t see or access and speak about. We all have received grace, the bible says, according the measure of His gift in us.
These gifts are not for keeping or storing away. They are for our using: to the family next door, the haggard man in the corner of the street, the proud friend who will not stretch his hand though he needs help (don’t lose him! Stretch yours, he will thank you afterwards no matter how much he resists), to anyone and everyone.
I want to be able to be able to stand before the Father of Light, the LORD of Host, the King of Glory and humbly say ‘Thank You Abba and Lord King JESUS! Holy Spirit kept all the way and has led me here. I greet You in the name of JESUS Christ, My LORD.
