ON FINDING PURPOSE*

*ON FINDING PURPOSE*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."* (Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_

One of my younger friends said she was having issues with discovering her purpose and this has lingered. 

And I said this to her:

"Scripture says: whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might. It is important that you don't get fixated on finding one special thing or purpose for your life. God is working things out for you so you can trust him to orchestrate events that will move you to the expected end he has for you. 

He is the one that said: I know the plans I have for you, plans for good and not of evil, to bring you to an expected end. He is the one that will bring you to that end. So, I will need you to simply relax in His everlasting arms and trust that He is working things out for you. You simply have to do today's work very well. Bloom where you are currently planted. Be the best at the thing you are doing NOW."

I find that many young people have been inundated with so much teaching about finding or discovering purpose that they end up marking time, wondering endlessly what their purpose is. Many do not do well in the course they are studying now in school because they have convinced themselves that that course may not be in line with their purpose. 

This is deception. 

I have someone doing her NYSC in my office now. She graduated with First Class Honours from Covenant University from the department of Microbiology. You know what? She is not interested in practicing Microbiology. She is into digital media and has a great YouTube Channel already with close to 10,000 subscribers. 

She did well in Microbiology even when she knew she wasn’t going to pursue a career in Microbiology. She simply bloomed where she was planted. She did with all her might what her hand found to do at the time. 

_MEDITATION:_
*The Lord's prayer says, 'give us this day our daily bread.' Our walk with God is a daily walk. Wake up each morning and ask Him to guide you. That's all that's important. Even if He shows you the entire nine yards, can you go the journey on your own?*

WELCOME TO THE GOSPEL

*DAILY DEW 11TH/DECEMBER/2021* *WELCOME TO THE GOSPEL* _Key Bible Text:_ *And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!* (Romans 10:15 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ In the old testament, an adulterer or adulteress was condemned to be stoned to death before God. That was the law. In the new testament, Jesus said to an adulteress "I do not condemn you, go and sin no more" Believe me, the law had not changed. The penalty for adultery was still death. And Jesus did not come to abolish the law, or change the law. He came to FULFILL it. So He had the right to tell her to go because He was going to bear the penalty for her adultery. He had taken her condemnation upon Himself. He was going to die for her. And so He could tell her to GO....and sin no more. Brothers and sisters; welcome to the Gospel.  _MEDITATION:_ *"The real gospel makes a poor man

As Jesus or As yourself?*

*DAILY DEW 2ND/DECEMBER/2021* *As Jesus or As yourself?* _Key Bible Text:_ * A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.* (John 13:34 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ One of the most outstanding things about the Christmas season is the birth of Christ. While we must remember or even celebrate this blessed season, we must never forget the spirit behind God's move and decision in sending His son Jesus. The answer to the why of Jesus' coming to earth is simply, LOVE. John 3:16 may have been abused but it cannot be overused or overemphasized. Jesus is God's decision born out of love. "For God so loved", he couldn't help but "gave His only begotten son". And even that had a reason, "that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life". So God's love in sending Jesus was not exactly "reckless" but absolutely intentional and expedien

What's Your Focus?*

Image
*DAILY DEW 19TH/JULY/2021* *What's Your Focus?*  _Key Bible Text:_ *For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. As one who reckons, he says to you, eat and drink, yet his heart is not with you [but is grudging the cost].* (Proverbs 23:7 (AMP))  _Bible Insight:_ I’ve learnt one thing in life so far: what you focus on somehow expands. Focus on your business, invest your thoughts and imaginations on how to grow it, talk about it with your spouse and friends; and gradually but surely, it will expand.  On the other hand, spend your time on every gist in town and watch the uselessness of your life expand. You will know more gists and gossips and, by the law of attraction, you will attract people like you and your life will nosedive or at best stagnate.  The human mind is powerful to the extent that we focus and whether the focus is to the left or the right, your mind does not care. It will give you back, in multiple folds, what you are steadily planting in it.  This is why the B
