The family of God is the crowning jewel of God's creation. "Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. So God created man in His image, in the image of God created him;male and female He created them. (Genesis 1:26-28)
The family is the foundation of every institution. God's purpose for family is to replenish the earth, have dominion over it, and establish a kingdom on earth that reflects the Garden of Eden. That was God's original plan for mankind. However, Adam committed high treason which resulted in he and Eve being evicted out of Eden into a world of darkness, decay, and decadence. Each facet of God's plan through Adam was tarnished and torn asunder.
Adam's relationship with God was severed. He no longer had dominion over the earth, but was given a new job description which included struggles, pain and toil. Adam had relegated his authority over the earth to Satan. Although Adam was given the Kingdom mandate of rulership over the earth, he lacked the integrity necessary to fulfill his assignment. Eve yielded to the subtleties of Satan, Adam acquiesced to her directive, and Satan subjugated Adam's authority over the earth.
Integrity is a primary pre-requisite for one to successfully fulfill his or her destiny in the earth. Many have gifts, special abilities, but are void of character. To the chagrin of many in the Body of Christ and in the secular world, the public exposure of indiscretions of ministers, public servants, entertainers, professional athletes, etc. have left society in utter shock, cynical, with an eye of suspicion. The Father desires His people to be people of integrity, lights of the world.
The concept of purpose or destiny is not an anomaly in the heart of God. The scriptures are replete with illustrations of the importance of purpose in our lives. Purpose is God's pre-ordained reason for our existence.
God has a pre-ordained purpose for each of our lives. For the purpose of God to maximized and remain beyond reproach, one must have a godly character.
