STEPPING INTO YOUR GOD-GIVEN PURPOSE

Apst. Emmanuel Osezele

KEY TEXT: Jeremiah 29:11 KJV: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

EMBRACE THE PURPOSE: Before you were even born, God had a unique purpose for your life. He designed you with specific strengths, desires, and a calling to fulfill. Jeremiah 1:5 reminds us that God knew us before we were formed and set us apart for a divine purpose. Yet, many people grow up unaware of this truth, drifting into lifestyles far from what God intended. Jeremiah 1:5

FOLLOW YOUR BELIEFS: Saying “yes” to God means saying “no” to the worldly design the world has for its own. Saying “yes” to God means refraining from any skill or profession that contradicts your heavenly beliefs. What profession are you in? Examine it—does it bring glory to God or not? Your future self is counting on you to stand firm today. The choices you make now will either build or break your future. Galatians 6:7-8

SECURED FUTURE: The world may make you feel like following Christ has little value, but God sees your potential and calls you to serve Him now. Your life is a gift—use it to glorify God. Whether in your workplace, your community, or among friends, be bold about your faith. Mark 8:38 warns against being ashamed of Christ. Instead, let your life reflect Him. What you sow today will determine the harvest you reap tommorow. Mark 8:38

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I receive limitless grace to embrace and continue in your positive will and purpose you have for me, In Jesus Christ’s mighty name, Amen.

REFLECTION: Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
