Your valuables in life do not determine your value. The most valuable things in life are not assets. You may have all of the world’s most luxurious assets and still miss God’s purpose for your life.
Nothing matters in life more than knowing God’s purpose for your life, and nothing can compensate for not knowing them. As you strive on daily basis to working towards an acceptable and a respectable place in life, so you must also work more assiduously to know God’s purpose for your life.
God’s purpose for your life is not all about success, wealth, fame or pleasure. All these are good though but without God, being pre-eminent in your life, your success would be nothing but piles of sorrows, your wealth would be subjected to endless worries from all angles. In addition, your fame would be nothing but a mere shadow and finally your pleasure would deceptively turn into heaps of pains. God’s purpose for your life goes beyond all these gains. Know God’s purpose for your life and everything pertaining to good life and godliness would be given to you from above.
Without purpose, life is trivial, petty, pointless, and is like events without reason.
Without God, life has no purpose and without purpose life has no meaning, without meaning, life has no significance or hope. Your life as a child of God becomes well structured and organized when you get to know your purpose in life. You become very much settled, well focused and prudent in everything decision or step you take.
The greatest tragedy is not death, but life without purpose. People who do not know their purpose try to do too much and that causes stress, fatigue and conflict upon conflict. To such people 24hrs in a day is just not enough for them. How they wish God had made it more than 24hrs!!!.
Without a clear purpose you would keep changing jobs, relationships, churches, thinking or hoping beyond hope that each change will settle the confusion or fill the emptiness in your heart.
Get to know God more than before and get to know your true purpose in life. Your purpose in life is different from your ambitions and goals. Ambitions and goals are self-set-target, which of course is liable to extinction.
When God was creating you He breathed His breathe into you. What He breathed into your being was not just a mere air, but a purpose filled with ideas, abilities, capabilities, wisdom, and fullness.
Your purpose therefore on earth here is to exhale all that God inhaled into you. The ideas to bring out innovative inventions, the ability to achieve great conquests and the wisdom to excel at anything and everything you do.
Your purpose, which has been imputed into you even before you became known to the world by God, would last even to eternity. God’s purpose for your life knows no boundaries and is not subjected to any human regulations or limitations.
Until a discoverer tells of how to put his discovery into use, you can never make any good use of his discovery. Until a manufacturer gives out a written manual as how to use his product, the product would simply be of no good use and would never be no matter how prolific it might have been. Until you develop an intimate relationship with God to know his purpose for your life, you would always find yourself wanting and never satisfied in life simply because your life does not depend on the abundance of things that you might possess. Remember in his word he said, “Without me you can do nothing”. Know that the best legacy you can live on earth is not prosperity but how purposeful you were. You would be remembered not for how prosperous you were but how purposeful you were. God richly bless you.
