Compliments of
the season to y’all. Had a lot of fun early yesterday going through my timeline
on twitter with the whole 21-12-2012 issue as postulated by the Mayans as
regards the end of the world. I gave a huge laugh to this. I’m very sure God
was laughing up there too....lol. Today I would like to give you an extract
from one of my writings ‘traceable footsteps’. Every creature was created for a
purpose. No living thing under heaven was created for no reason. Jer 1:5- in
your mother’s womb I knew you and I have ordained you a prophet. That was God
talking to Jeremiah. He is the same God yesterday, today and forever-Heb 13:8.
This implies that whatsoever he said to Jeremiah then still implies to us now.
With this
impression in mind you have to make life worth living to you. Before any
achievement, purpose has to be known. Why am I here? The answer to this lies in
a quality work with your maker. Many people have lost their lives without
discovering the potentials hidden inside them. Myles Munroe once said that the
richest place is the cemetery, because a lot of great people and talents have
been buried there.
Every hour in
life counts; never say you are too young and keep on procrastinating.
Procrastination is one of the greatest killers of destiny. Life is an individual
race and nobody can live it for you. Run through this illustration with me; I
would be using an imaginary person, this is also what so many people out there
ask themselves every day.
‘Why was I born?’
Instead of ‘why am I here?’. The question why was I born is a statement with no
regard to life. Such a person wishes not to have been born. This is not meant
to be so. God is a God of purpose and he did not create anyone by mistake. You
are a product of your thought pattern; whatever regard you give life would go a
long way in effecting change in the world out there.
Always have this
in mind; there are many lives attached to you. Whatever decision you make today
will either affect lives positively or negatively. Go everyday with this
question in mind ‘have I put a smile in the face of someone today?’ Embrace
life and it would always smile at you. Learn to make a meaning out of your
life, do not be a spectator in life but be the main actor.
To give life a
meaning you need to go deeper into yourself and ask yourself some crucial
questions. This is referred to as inner conflict; what do I mean? It is a
normal thing for anyone who is about to make a self development activity to
have mind battles but you can make this possible by separating yourself. Examine
this scripture-Romans 12:2 ‘be not conformed to this world but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind’. Paul a preacher of the gospel wrote
to the Romans and here he is telling them that, renewing your mind is your own
personal thing.
It would please
you to know that God actually created every one for a purpose and He is the
potter. What a great revelation! Get this point into your spirit; in the book
of Genesis 1:28, God gave man a 5 fold mandate which is Be fruitful, multiply,
replenish the earth, subdue it, have dominion. A general purpose right and then
there was the fall of man. That was not the end but God sent Jesus as a
propitiation for our sins and we were renewed ‘translated into the light’ Glory
to God!. To be at the best God wants you to be you have to be submissive to God
by a relationship with Jesus. A man with a passion can never get distracted.
Get a passion and a vision and run with it.
Why am I here? In
the beginning the world was without form and void, look at verse 26 of the
first chapter of Genesis “And God said let us make man in our own image”. This
would be the part one of this article. Stay in touch for the next part. Stay
blessed.
