YOU ARE CALLED TO A LIFE OF PURPOSE

“But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.” Acts 20:24 KJV

Beloved, one major reason God allowed you to stay here on planet earth after you gave your heart to Christ was because He wanted you to become an example of how He lived here on earth. He wanted you to be His ambassador for change and accomplish purpose in life.


Looking at the above scripture, it was evident that Apostle Paul’s success was attributed to his clear vision of what God wanted him to do. He was never in doubt. He knew his assignment was to preach the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to the Gentiles. He was passionate and intentional and God used him to accomplish greatly for the Kingdom.

 
Do you realize that God has also called you to a life of purpose? He did not save you just to be counted among the number. No!  He saved you and called you to a life of glory and virtue; to make a formidable impact in your world for His kingdom. But you must be intentional about it. Thus, you have to dedicate some of your time to repositioning yourself so that you can take delivery of all that God has in stock for you.


God’s intention for you is that you will make appreciable progress and enter into a higher dimension of His plan and purpose for your life. The days of barely making it and scratching the surface are over. It is the time to dig deep and reach out to the enormous deposit inside you. It is time to play in the big league. Creation is waiting for your manifestation. I declare over your life that your years of shame and reproach are coming to an end. You will fulfill purpose! You will arrive at God’s ordained destiny for your life. Nothing will cut you short.
