GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME TO THE EARLY KNOCK. 21/06/2025 WEEK 3 THIS WEEK'S THEME : THE POWER OF KINGDOM ACCOUNTABILITY TOPIC : LIVE A KINGDOM PURPOSE-DRIVEN LIFE.. SCRIPTURAL PASSAGES. Ephesians 4:17-20, Galatians 6:1-7, Daniel 6:1-4, Genesis 39:6, Matthew 25:1-12. INTRODUCTION: 1 Corinthians 4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. Ephesians 4:17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. We couldn't succefully talk about kingdom accountability on the early knock this week leaving out purposeful living, Since our purpose determines our accountability. Life is a journey which begins the day we are born. We begin to travelling inevitably towards the end of our lives every passing moment. We will either journey through life with no sense of direction or we will live a purpose driven and fulfilled life. The race is on when we see each day. Where are you going and what are you doing about it? Everyone's life is driven by something; - vision, worry or fear, insecurity, anger, resentment, their past, possessions, parents, money, etc. God wants us to be kingdom purpose-driven people, driven by His plan, His purpose for our lives. That's where meaning and significance come. Who we submit to will determine the decree of our accountability. Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 4:1-2 "Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful" When you fulfil your life purpose it brings honour to God and it brings satisfaction to yourself. 2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Jesus lived a kingdom purpose driven life, taught and commanded to do same. He said in John 17:4 'I have brought You glory on earth by completing the work You gave me to do.' If you're a believer, you want to bring glory to God. How do you do that? You do that by completing the work God gave you to do. WE CAN LIVE LIFE AT ONE OF THREE BASIC LEVELS: - SURVIVAL LEVEL. At this stage, it's difficult to defind value and what matters in life. People here live in survival mode, they never do anything with accountability or purpose. Their time can be wasted by themselves or others. They never really have any major goals or major drive in life. The Bible says in Ephesians 5:17 "Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is". - SUCCESS LEVEL. Most people are found in this level, a little higher level called the success level. At this level a few have a good salary that keeps them comfortable, the one in this stage is celebrated by their employer who keeps giving them a salary at the cost of their kingdom purpose. Never allow financial success blind you from serving Gods purpose for your life. Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; Will you still serve God when you see the glory of this world? - SIGNIFICANCE. The Significance level is when kingdom accountability begins, you know why you're here on earth. You have a purpose for your life. You know that your life matters. You know that there is meaning behind what's going on in your life. People who enjoy significance know what on earth they're here for!. John 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. Jesus lived at the significance level, life will create impact when lived at significance level. We need to move from success to significance. Living a Purpose kingdom driven live has power to shifts us from success to significance. Purpose flows out of values. Our self discovery in God's purpose decides our value and the impact we create. Values effect everything we do. We all have values, but often we haven't clarified them or examined them. Colossians 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. accountability compels us to make wise decisions. PRAYER OF AFFIRMATION: Father! I will be an accountable Steward of all the resources God has put under my care🙏. ACTION/KEYNOTE: We will either journey through life with no sense of direction or we will live a purpose driven and fulfilled life. The race is on when we see each day.
