What Are You Living For?
What is your end goal in life? Is your end goal big enough? Is it big enough for your destiny? Is what you are doing right now worth dying for? If the answer is no, then very soon you will be tired with what you are doing and will start to find meaningless.
Way down deep inside, you are reaching for something – the ultimate drive and goal in your life.
We must determine what cause we are for in this life. God’s heart is with the salvation of human souls.
History is in your hands as you work with God. You can create history! Making your life count where you are and making an impact is something that is written in the history of God.
John 15:16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.
You are not called to be a consumer. You are called to be a fruit bearing producer in the Kingdom of God! We can even become a consumer in the church! How? We come to church on Sunday, sit down and listen to the message and thereafter, return home. God has never intended for us to be a consumer of Christianity.
Find your purpose, and stay with it without compromise or retreat. God will use you to shake your generation if you remain true to Him and the vision that He gives you no matter what the cost or obstacles. When you have a purpose and driven by the dream that God has given you, no matter what obstacles come your way to attempt to shatter your dream, you will be an overcomer because your purpose is greater than the obstacles and your faith in God will help you to overcome the world.
This does not mean to be so heavenly minded that we are of no earthly good. We can be successful in life and yet have a meaningful and fruitful walk with God by being effective both in your secular work, studies and contributing to the Kingdom of God and storing up rewards in heaven.
Just like Daniel in the Old Testament who stood firm against persecutions of all types against him, we will also face obstacles, persecution and tribulation in this world and yet if we have determined the cause of our lives, all these persecutions will become immaterial.
There is a crown, according to Revelation 2:10, that goes to those who are faithful and persevere to their God given purpose. Persevere in purity as you pursue your purpose!
