Experience the complete message as Pastor Rohan Samuels explores how God's purpose provides divine protection in our lives.
Main Idea
When we walk in God's purpose, we are under His divine protection. Purpose becomes our shield against the attacks of the enemy, and God's plans for our lives cannot be thwarted by opposition. Understanding and embracing your purpose is not just about fulfillment—it's about positioning yourself under the covering of God's providential care.

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
