FULFIL YOUR PURPOSE TO HIS GLORY
For we are his workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus unto good works, which
God hath before ordained that we
should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10).
The life Christ has given us to live is to the glory of
the Father. God always had a very clear agenda,
a definite purpose for the world and universe He created
and, in particular, a definite purpose for your life. When
you study the Scriptures, you discover a remarkable
consistency in God’s plan and an unmistakable clarity of
purpose concerning His creation and your place in it.
You’re not in this world to balance the ecosystem.
There’s a reason you were born at such a time as this,
in the place where you are, with the gifts, abilities and
opportunities entrusted to you. But it’s unfortunate that
many go through life without ever discovering that purpose.
Don’t just exist, driven by trends, pressures,
circumstances, and changing conditions. That’s not God’s
plan for you. He never intended for your life to be directed
by circumstances, whether favourable or unfavourable.
A life governed merely by external events eventually
produces emptiness and inward frustration, regardless
of outward success. The world may admire the seeming
accomplishments of such individuals, yet deep within,
8
there remains the painful awareness that they never truly
fulfilled their purpose for being.
The most important thing for anyone to do in this world
is to discover and fulfil God’s purpose for their lives. And
this can only come through a genuine relationship with Him.
Purpose is not discovered through speculation, human
philosophy, or personal ambition. It’s revealed through
fellowship with the Lord and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
When you truly come to know the Lord and walk in
fellowship with Him, there comes a certainty in your spirit
of the divine direction and the heavenly vision for your life.
More than that, the Holy Spirit helps you fulfil that purpose.
He doesn’t merely reveal God’s plan to you; He empowers
you to walk in it and make it happen. Therefore, live
purposefully and walk with the consciousness that your life
has meaning, direction, and divine significance. Through
the Holy Spirit, fulfil your purpose to the glory of God.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for giving my life meaning,
direction, and divine purpose. I refuse to live aimlessly
or be driven by circumstances. Through fellowship with
your Spirit and the light of your Word, I walk in the path
you ordained for me before the foundation of the world,
fulfilling your purpose joyfully and effectively, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
