Born for a purpose
Memorise: But ye are a chosen
generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye
should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into
his marvellous light:
1 Peter 2:9
One of the things you must endeavour to know is God’s
purpose of your life. You were born for a
purpose. You are not an accident. You are a product of divine wisdom,
knowledge and understanding. The Almighty God does nothing arbitrarily. In
everything He does, He is known for clear cut purposes. He knows where He is
heading before He sets out on any course. Even for those things or people you
think are bad, there is a purpose they serve in the circle of life. Each
purpose of God is known to Him from the beginning. This is revealed in Acts
15:18:
“Know unto God are all his works from the beginning of
the world.”
God’s purpose are known to Him. This is so comforting
for us to know. We have issues with God and with ourselves because we don’t
know what He knows about us. Another reason we have issues is that we don’t
make out enough time to seek His purpose for our lives. Since the fall of man,
an inclination towards self-rule has been a part of every natural man. We rely
on our human assessment and understanding of ourselves to determine what we
think should be the purpose for which God created him. This was not the case
with Joseph; he knew he was not going to end up being the chief of slaves in
potiphar’s house; hence he refused to be the “favourite” of the madam of the
house (Genesis 39:8-9). Later on in life, when his brethren began to exercise fears
of retaliation, Joseph revealed his
knowledge of the purpose of God for his life by saying:
“…Fear not: for am I in the place of God? But as for
you, ye through evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass,
as it is this day, to save much people alive.”
Genesis 50:19-20
Everyone in the world came for a purpose. From what
God told Jeremiah, we see that His purpose for us is not an after-through. He
had thought out His purpose for each of us before ever creating us. It also
tells us that even through He has all power, wisdom, knowledge and
understanding to do anything, He does nothing without a purpose. There is a
purpose attached to your life; strive to discover it from today.
Prayer point
Father, I thank you for your purpose
concerning my life. Please give me a revelation of your purpose for my life in
the Name of Jesus.
