"Gripping Your Purpose"
Apostle David Rodgers



Trees

The path to purity goes through the valley of PURPOSE. PURPOSE is not just what you are 


called to DO, but what you are called to BE! The processes GOD has chosen to use, to develop 


YOU TO BE, must be GRIPPED! Processes produce PURPOSE, and the processes vary in degrees 


of intensity based on GOD’s ordained plan for your life. Most people fail, because the 


PROCESSES look and feel nothing like the glory of the PURPOSE! So when what they want to 


DO, flies contrary to what GOD has designed them to be, most OPT OUT! 


HOLINESS is the objective! Your name on an flyer or you preaching on a platform is a distant 


second to you living right! So many get caught up in the spectacle of ministry that they become 


seduced by the noise and the obstacles versus becoming greater lovers of GOD and His 


Presence! 


Our PURPOSE is to represent CHRIST, HIS CROSS and HIS KINGDOM and allow HIM to elevate 


our influence. Stop worrying about who’s not supporting you or working with you and focus on 


the GOD who called you according to HIS PURPOSE, that’s the only way ALL THINGS WORK 


TOGETHER FOR YOUR GOOD! 


“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are 


the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to conform to 


the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover, whom He 


predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He 


justified, these He also glorified.”
