LIVING A LIFE OF PURPOSE

Psalm 139:13(For thou has possessed my reins: thou has covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being un perfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them).

1 Samuel 16:12(And he sent, and brought him. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he).

We are all here on earth to achieve a purpose in which God has created us for. So many people have gone through life without achieving their purpose because they never knew why they are here in the first place. Just like the manufacturer of a product has a purpose for his product, they knew exactly what they wanted to achieve before production. Every product is designed to meet specific needs and when that need is met both the consumer and the manufacturer are happy. The manufacturer gets rewards for his effort and the consumer gets the good value for their money and everything is copacetic. God is happy when He sees us doing exactly what he created us to do because no father would want his children to fail. There is a need for you here on earth; God has created you to meet a specific need and without realizing it that need will not be met. God does not waste His time and effort; everything He created is designed to meet a specific need including you and me. In the beginning after He created everything that man will need to live a purposeful life He said let us make a man in our image. Genesis 1:27(So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God bless them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over everything that moveth upon the earth). Everything God made was good and deliberate; After God created man He gave man a mandate; so friend just like David says in our anchor scripture above, you are not a mistake, you are here for a purpose. The original purpose of man is what God listed above and it has not changed, so whatever you are doing at the end of the day is meant to be blessed, multiplied, and above all to dominate and rule in your area of endeavor. Whatever that is contrary to the expected result is not of God. Man’s mandate was snatched away from him by Satan in the Garden of Eden. Thank be to God who in His manifold wisdom has made a way to restore man back to his original image and purpose. Every man is different both in shape and color; we are all here on assignment and are designed to fit into His plan for us. David was very sure that God took time to form him in his mother’s womb for a purpose and when Samuel was sent to anoint him, he described his look; even God told Samuel that David was not like his brothers both in look and inside. You may not look like a king but God said you are a king; it is not what you think or how you look that matters but the important thing is who God has designed you to be. You need to appreciate the work of God in your life just like David did if you really want to live a life of purpose. Since the fall of man the Spirit of God departed from man; the bible tells us that when Samuel anointed David the Spirit of God entered him and from that time forward the spirit of God became his personal compass. He was empowered to conquer; the bible says David never lost any battle because he was led by the Spirit of God all through his journey here on earth. We all can attest to the fact that David lives a purposeful life. David said he looks imperfect but yet God knows everything about him and it was written in His manual. Every product has a manual that specifies the use, so in case you don’t know the purpose you are created for, you can refer to the manufacturer’s manual which is the bible or you can pray and ask the manufacturer (O LORD show me, my purpose of existence). Someone may be thinking he is doing very well but yet living a purposeless life; that’s why a very wealthy man will commit suicide and you would be wondering what might have gone wrong, he felt emptiness, the void has not be filled. Some may even begin to look for something else to fill in the gap by engaging in some evil activities or things that do not glorify God and are also harmful to them because nature they say abhor vacuum. The spirit of God in us is what helps us to navigate through hardship and other things that may hinder us. God found David and anointed him; Friend, you are next to be found by him but you need to position yourself where He will find you and empower you to manifest your destiny. He is knocking at your door right now but except you invite Him he will not force Himself in; open the door of your heart to Him by praying this salvation prayer below and be blessed in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
