Have you ever wondered what is God’ s purpose?

Romans 8:28 states that all things work together for good to those who love the Lord and to those who are called according to His purpose.

It, therefore, means that not everyone will see or experience the good from every bad situation.

Only when your intentions or objectives are aligned with the purpose of God will everything, including failures and disappointments, work out for the better.

Although Daniel was a young captive in the enemy’s camp, he had a strong purpose or goal in his heart the he would not defile himself with the king’s meat.

That was exactly one of the purpose that God has for His people.

For I am the Lord your God. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any creeping thing that creeps on the earth. 

For I am the Lord who brings you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. (Leviticus 11:44-45)

Therefore you shall keep My ordinance, so that you do not commit any of these abominable customs which were committed before you, and that you do not defile yourselves by them: I am the Lord your God.(Numbers 18:30)

The purpose of God for our lives is to be holy because He is Holy.

Therefore, we must not be conformed to this world but we must be transformed by the renewing of our mind (Romans 12:2; Ephesians 4:20-24).

It is obedience to the Word of God that will keep us cleansed and undefiled (Hebrews 4:12).

Thus, like Daniel, when we encounter the den of lions, the trials and persecutions we will come out of them victoriously.

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds.

You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
