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 MISSIONS (VI)

*DAILY DEW 18TH/DECEMBER/2021* *WELCOME TO MISSIONS* (VI) _Key Bible Text:_ *And of making all people see how God's secret plan is to be put into effect. God, who is the Creator of all things, kept his secret hidden through all the past ages, in order that at the present time, by means of the church, the angelic rulers and powers in the heavenly world might learn of his wisdom in all its different forms.* (Ephesians 3:9-10(GNB))  _Bible Insight:_ But now for the sequel. They became so interested, so aroused, so awakened, that they came in ever-increasing numbers. Souls were saved and in a very short time every seat was taken. Before long thy had caught the vision and they began to give, to give as they had never given before, and in a few weeks, without having to say hardly anything about the local obligations, every debt was paid, every bill met, and from that day to this we have not known the meaning of the word “debt” in connection with our work. We discovered that w

PATRIOTISM & NATIONALISM

Image
*DAILY DEW 5TH/MAY/2021* *PATRIOTISM & NATIONALISM* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge." (Romans 10:1-2 (KJV))   _Bible Insight:_ Some have tried to distinguish between what is desirable and what is wrong by using two separate words, patriotism and nationalism. The value of the former has been shown by Lecky when he wrote in his _History of European Morals_ :  Patriotism leads men to subordinate their wishes to interests of the society in which they live. It extends the horizon of life, teaching men to dwell among the great men of the past, to derive their moral strength from the study of their heroic lives, to look forward continually, through the vistas of a distant future, to the welfare of an organization which will continue when they have passed away.  Nationalism, on the other hand, can be used to

Age Long Wisdom (III)

Image
*DAILY DEW 13TH/NOVEMBER/2020* *Age Long Wisdom (III)* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And Jesus went on to say, And so I tell you: make friends for yourselves with worldly wealth, so that when it gives out, you will be welcomed in the eternal home."* (Luke 16:9) _Bible Insight:_ In soul winning, we need money! Cool money! The world needs the power of God but it takes engaging money to bring the Gospel close enough, so that the world can hear and see the power of God.  We need money and materials things to push the Gospel. In our key text, we see the need to use worldly wealth to make friends who will be brought closer to the opportunity to hear the Gospel and be saved. Use worldly wealth. You don't need to wait until you have enough of it. You will never have enough. However, you can decide to use the worldly wealth you have for soul winning. In the story of the good Samaritan, we see a Samaritan using his time, energy and resources to revive the man who was robbed and w
