Giving Life a meaning

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.
