Power of Access: Purpose & Assignment

INSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Thursday, December 18, 2025 Topic: THE POWER OF ACCESS: PURPOSE & ASSIGNMENT (Part 2)! Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" - John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Bible Text: Isaiah‬ ‭43:19‬ ‭KJV‬‬ 19. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. INSPIRATION: Whenever you gain access, especially, to someone noble and way above your means, these two questions should be at the forefront of your mind: firstly, to what purpose? And secondly, what's my assignment with this person or opportunity? Until you get clarity about these, you must approach with caution before you ruin a divine moment. Purpose supercedes all things. Purpose determines access and exposes you to God's intent. Doors do not just open, they open so that purposes can be established. Where purpose is unknown, you can't be too sure not to scuttle the plan or misbehave before greatness. The second question is, what is my mission or assignment for this open door? Every purpose is accompanied by an assignment. We should be more particular about discharging our assignments than in anything else. Else, we would have wasted golden opportunities. Divine resources flow towards those who embark on the mission to fulfilling their assignments. God deploys resources for the assignment so He can get the glory out of your obedient action. It is therefore a misplacement of priorities if your intent for gaining access is different from any of the aforementioned. Therefore, when next you gain access, allow these two questions to be probing at your heart before you act. TODAY'S TAKE HOME: Purpose is at the heartbeat of God when He gives us access. The pursuit of your assignment is the vehicle by which purpose is actualised. You cannot separate one from the other or reorder its sequence. PRAYER: Dear Lord, I receive grace to chase after Your purposes and my assignment for every door you open unto me. I refuse to compromise or trade off these eternal values in pursuit of personal gains, in Jesus name.
