"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.”


Romans‬

This week has been a powerful reminder of one of my divine assignments in this season: the role of a spiritual father. I’ve had the joy of sitting with several young ministers, pouring into their lives, encouraging their calling, and helping shape their future. I have two more of those meetings today.

It was very difficult to make the decision to put my father on hospice. But when it was needed it was the best decision for him. As a hospice chaplain many people may not understand the care that a hospice program can provide.

The alarm clock hasn't even sounded yet, but I'm already awake at 5:47 AM. Something deeper than caffeine pulls me from sleep. It's the Holy Ghost moving in my spirit, preparing me for another day of warfare. Joshua 1:9 cuts through the pre-dawn darkness: "Have not I commanded thee?

Some people leave a mark on your organization. Others leave a mark on your heart. Pastor Ricky D. Floyd did both. It’s hard to put into words what this man meant to me, to Kings & Priests, and to so many others who were blessed to cross his path.
