Luke 12:13-21
And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness,
for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”
(V. 15)
The view of the world is to just get the materials.
So, very many people who don’t have the inner ability have gone terrible just
to get these materials. That is why many parents now buy certificate for their
children. People now have to organize robbery. These are because our idea of
success is focused only on materials. Friend, materials are only to assist us
to succeed, they are not our success. Our success is the ability to succeed
which is an internal quality, the composition of our heart, then we shall be
successful.
As we live in this world, there are some goals that
are important for us to achieve. If we don’t achieve them it will look like a
discouragement and frustration. For example a man must of necessity get married
and have a good home. A man need to build a place for his family to stay. A man
must think of a means of transportation for his family to freely move around.
The purpose of all this is to assist us to carry out our assignment on the
earth. Jesus said a man have beautiful harvest. Instead of him to give thanks
to God and prepare to be a blessing to others around him, he saw himself at the
climax of life. This got God angry at him and his soul was demanded that same
day. What is now his profit in all he has done? He was called a fool at the
end.
Friend, congratulations for all you have been able to
achieve. But it is important you know that they are a means to an end and not
an end in itself. God made you for a purpose. That purpose is the reason you
are on the earth. So, there is a need to define the purpose. Your purpose can
be identified only with the one who made you. Take time out to seek His face.
Then He will reveal His purpose of your creation to you. You then need to
organize to pursue and fulfil your purpose of been on the earth. This is when
you are truly walking in the path of success. May God not be angry with you.
You will fulfil your destiny in Jesus name.
Prayer: Lord, help me to identify and fulfil my
destiny
“WITHOUT THE ACHIEVEMENT OF PURPOSE LIFE IS A WASTE”
