You have a purpose

 Jeremiah 29:11 

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

God created us for a particular purpose in mind, that fits His bigger plan. His plans are for our good, ones to proper us and give us hope and a future. 

What purpose does God have for me? You may ask. We find an explanation in Jeremiah 1:5 that says: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” This tells us that before we took our first breath, God had already set our destiny before us, He called us for a particular purpose, an assignment that He has given us to fulfill. He appointed us- this means, the position that God gives you, is not decided upon only now, it was long decided and it was settled. Weather others feel you don't qualify for it, it doesn't matter. The one who appointed you whilst you were in your mother's womb, had already chosen and ordained you for that position. Walk with your head held up high. You might not know all the answers, but the One who appointed you, does. It is for that reason that you are in a position that you feel ill-equipped, so that you may rely on Him (not your own understanding). That's when we tend to do supernatural things, achieve way more than what we may think or imagine, because of the One that lives in you. Never take that for granted.

1 Corinthians 12:12-27 explains to us why God created us different from one another. Just like a human body, that has many different parts that each perform a unique function, so do we. We are designed specifically for that purpose He chose us for. Which is why, you cannot copy the next person, you will fail. That is not your calling, it will be beyond your means. But the one He created you for, will come easy and effortless. Things will just fall into place. Then you know you are aligned with your purpose. 

If you are still searching for yours, keep praying about it, God will reveal it when the time is right. In the meantime, keep going. Do what you do best, where you are positioned. Show gratitude and learn as much as you can. It's part of preparation...

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbulent  times, just li

By knowing Christ, we get a chance of living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

 2 Peter 1:3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. By coming to know Christ, learning about Him in the word, we now have the ability to live a Godly life. This means by God's divine power, He has equipped us with the relevant information and teachings, on how we are to live our lives. The bible tells us that Jesus was sent to be our role model, our example of the things the Lord expects to see in us and to see in our daily walk here on earth. These things allow us to live a life that is acceptable in His eyes. However, God understands that we are not perfect (and we should never pressurize ourselves to be perfect), but with the guidance we have, we know that where we fall short, we can run to the Lord without guilt or shame, knowing that He is our Father who loves us and is willing to help us every step of t

Let us tell of the wonderful things He has done!

 Psalm 9:1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. And that is called a testimony, telling of the wonderful  things that the Lord has done! With God on our side, we have  an advantage, where we are protected from certain things, where God ochestrates things for us so that they work in our favour (Romans 8:28). He heals us, He provides for us, He opens and closes doors and so much more. Which is why the only two things that we can do to show gratitude for all that He does for us, is first to recognize His role in the whole thing . That in our own strength, we wouldn't have been able to achieve those thigs, gotten favoured or have that opportunity come through. Basically,  giving credit where it is due, and by so doing, we give Him the glory and honour that He deserves. The second thing   that   we  ought to do, is to testify of His goodness in our lives. Us sharing of what we have seen in our lives God doing, can give someon
