Every man/woman born has a purpose. No one is an accident.
The good God has a reason for bringing you into this world. He alone has the
key to you fulfilling your purpose.
Before you were born, He knew you and ordained for you a
purpose (Jer. 1:6). He created all our reasoning faculties and various abilities to be used for His glory. It is
a known fact that the real purpose of a product is determined by its
maker; and abiding closely by his instructions as documented in his
manual can you hope to maximize the use of such product.
God Almighty made you and has given us a manual –The Bible
to know him and through knowing Him can we truly know ourselves and thereby
live a meaningful and purposeful life.
We have been created with the capacity to acquire knowledge. The human mind is a masterpiece - depending on how it is used. A wonderful gift of God to
us and it is to our advantage to use it for His glory.
What goes on in our mind is of utmost importance because it
determines our level of victory in life. God wants our thoughts to align with
His. If you want your ways to align with God’s ways, you must think His
thoughts.
Isaiah 55: 7&8 – Let the wicked forsake his way and the
unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord for He will have
mercy upon him: and to our God for He will abundantly pardon- For my thoughts are not your thoughts and my
ways your ways - says the Lord.
The mind that stays on the Lord will experience perfect
peace (Isaiah 26:3) – irrespective of the external turmoil.
Advantages of retaining God’s word in your mind:
- It is the source of perfect peace- Isaiah 26:3.
- Gives life and health – Prov. 20: 4.
- It makes your way prosperous- Josh. 1:8.
- Gives good success – Josh. 1: 8.
- It is the source of true joy- Jer. 15: 16.
- The word of God is a lamp and a light (gives direction)- Ps. 119: 105.
What you think habitually forms your beliefs and your
beliefs form your character which in turn is key to fulfilling your purpose.
