IDENTIFY YOUR PURPOSE

Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:1-7
Devotional:-“And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules” (v. 5) NKJV

    A major factor hindering many people from becoming successful in the black race is the inability to live in the purpose of life. God has made all things to fall in place for man when he lives in his purpose (Matthew 6:33). To be able to live in the purpose of God for our lives, we have to discover that purpose and then give ourselves to it. A major hindrance to the discovering of the purpose of men is man not thinking of the need for the purpose. By so, man live for the wrong purpose which is material. These are the things that are already provided for us.

As much as money and material things are important for our living on earth, they are not the reason we are here. So, we are to work towards them at our capacity and be thankful. Discovery of purpose will help us to set our priority right. It will give us the right goal and focus. If focus is wrong, people will miss their success. Our purpose is known by our maker. And the Bible is our guide.

In the scripture, we discover that the purposes of man are: to aim at bringing glory to God through all that we are doing, to love others and be part of His family, to grow our spirit and soul to be like Him, to live and bless others and to bring others to the saving grace of Christ (Matthew 22:37-40; 28:19-20). When a man understands these, his success will be rightly defined. His focus will be righteous and his life will be blessed by the Lord. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me good understanding of my purpose on earth.

“KNOWING YOUR PURPOSE MAKES YOU FOCUS ON WHAT HEAVEN WILL BACK UP FOR YOUR SUCCESS ON EARTH”

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

  DOMINION   Psalms 8:1-9 Devotional:- “You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet” (V. 6) NKJV      At creation, man was given dominion over all that God created. This office was at that time a terrifying one for other creatures and even the devil. (Psalms 8.6; Psalms 110:1-3). It was this office that the devil was after that he had to deceive man and steal. You will observe that man was the last creature of God (Genesis 1:26). Yet he was made to have dominion over all that existed before him. The devil saw this as partiality on the side of God. He did not know that though man was the last creation yet the finest. The man was finally created to be in charge of all creation.
