GOD'S PURPOSE IS BIGGER THAN YOU

October 16, 2016 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

Jer1:5 “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” NLT

Sometimes, when we rejoice at the birth of new born babies, we fail to realize that those babies have been sent on assignment and God's purpose for their lives is bigger than them. We see a small baby wrapped in clothes but fail to see their very big future, we celebrate their coming into the world and not God's plan for their lives. God has planned their lives before they came here.

The same applies to you, before you came into this world, God has planned it that you'll be coming here for an assignment that is bigger than you and he has appointed you into his service before your parents ever met. Glory! God's purpose for your life is the reason you are alive, it is the reason why you've gone through those things you went through.

It behooves on you to discover that assignment God has for you and begin to fulfill it. Life is too short to be wasted on frivolities; you need revelation from God to know what that purpose is. The day you start fulfilling purpose is the day you start living. Your purpose would give meaning and relevance to the life of others, start fulfilling why you came.

Action point

Father, I receive grace to discover your purpose for my life In Jesus name.
Join us in fasting and prayer( Oct17th-23rd) for the next 7 days as we trust God for a massive harvest of souls in Samorika.
