Discovering our purpose in life as Christians

Labels:


God had love and a purpose when He created us. It is important for us to remember that each of us has a unique purpose and is special in God's eyes. As His masterpiece, we are made to accomplish the good deeds He has planned for us (See Ephesians 2:10). The majority of people pass away unaware of their purpose on earth, which is a grave mistake. We frequently believe that meeting our needs is the only purpose of our existence. While all of those things are worthwhile, our primary objectives also involve being humbly human and mindful of the needs of others. 

We are called to put the needs of those around us above our own self-serving goals. By doing this, we fulfill our mission as His disciples and imitate the characteristics of Christ (see Philippians 2:3–4). God sent us on earth to carry out his mission after creating us. It's similar to being hired by a company based on your qualifications, and the manager needs you to complete daily tasks in order for you to be paid at the end of the day. It is your responsibility at that company (Earth) to ascertain your reason for hiring. Depending on the gifts that God has bestowed upon us, each of us has a specific role to fulfill while here on Earth. According to Matthew 6:33, God promises to meet our needs as long as we make seeking His kingdom and righteousness our top priorities.

Here are ways to find God’s purpose for your life:

  • Seek direction from God's Word and the Holy Spirit, who will always lead you in the right direction.
  • Know who God is and understand his everyday language through studying the word of God, worship, and meditation.
  • We have to be prepared to let go of our personal goals and aspirations. In order to do this, we must surrender our will and accept God's plan for our lives.
  • It takes trust, submission, and a readiness to let go of your own goals and plans in order to follow His.
  • Walking in God’s purpose is not always easy, and there may be obstacles along the way. However, with faith, determination, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you can overcome any obstacle and fulfill the unique calling that God has for your life.
  • The duration of the wait shouldn't depress you because God has excellent timing and greater plans for you than you can ever imagine (see Jeremiah 29:11).
  • God takes time to mold and polish us, just as a potter needs time to shape and polish clay.
  • You'll be astounded by the wonderful things God has in store for you when the time is right, and the Holy Spirit will make your purpose clear to you.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against

How do we allow our past to not define us  

Even if you don't have everything together, rest certain that God sees you as his priceless possession. Your past does not define who you are today. In actuality, from a spiritual viewpoint, who you are today is not determined by your past. It might affect your thoughts, but it doesn't make you who you are. God proclaims our true identity: that we are made in His likeness and in His image, reflecting both the male and female facets of God (according to Genesis 1:26-27).
