1)    God will always call you or tell you about your purpose the same way the Apostle Paul called for the elders to tell them about his (V-17)

2)    You still must come to God about your purpose so you can hear what He has to say, the same way the Elders came to Apostle Paul to hear what he had to say to them (V-18a)!

3)    Always live the same way while you’re following your God-ordained purpose (V-18b, Hebrews 10:23 )!

4)    Always serve the Lord with all humility, through your tears, through your temptations, and through the plots of others while you’re following your God-ordained purpose (V-19)!

5)    Always try to teach someone the lessons you learned from your failures while you’re following your God-ordained purpose (V-20, Luke 22:31-32)!

6)    Always testify to everyone while you’re following your God-ordained purpose, not just to the ones you think will receive the gospel (V-21)!

7)    Realize for your safety God won’t reveal some things to you while you’re following your God-ordained purpose (V-22, Acts 1:7)!

8)    Don’t let this shock you, but chains and tribulation awaits you while you’re following your God-ordained purpose (V-23, John 16:33 )

9)    Lastly “Don’t allow anything to move you” from following your God-ordained purpose (V-24)!
