What is my purpose in this world? Why am here ? This is a very important question and it is a question many are currently asking themselves. Some are even praying to God, asking Lord what is my purpose here in this world? Why was I born ? Very good questions. But for many the conclusion they come up with is, I need to get a job, make money, have a big saving account and be secure from financial ruin. For others, they conclude I am here to find love ❤, if I can find someone who will love me just as I am i will then fulfill my purpose. For others still, life is about having fun, a good time and they do all in their powers to find the next thrill, the next high .
Do you really believe that God put you on this earth to pursue selfish goals ? Do I really believe God put me on this earth so I can have a big bank account? Do I really believe God give me intelligence, health and many other gifts so that I can selfishly use them to further my own ends 🤔? Friends, the answer is no. And here lies many of our depressions. We seek to live life for self , to promote self even at the expense of others. But a life lived for the sole promotion of self and selfish goal will always be an unsatisfactory one, a miserable one. God is love and love is about doing good for others
So why am I here? I am here to serve God and to be a blessing to others 😇. This is the purpose of your life, this is the goal of existence, to serve God and to be a blessing to others. All that we have come from God. Your beauty, your talents, your intelligence, your health etc..all that you have comes from God and God did not give them to me so that I can selfishly use them on myself. God give them to me so I can use them to bless others. If you have money, you are to help further the work of God on earth by paying your tithes and offering. You are also to use your money to help those that are less fortunate. Give to the poor and needy. Being a blessing to others .
If you are good in finance, you are to teach others on how to be good financial stewards. If you are a musician, use your music to bring glory to God and to be blessing to others, playing music that will bring them closer to Christ and elevate their souls. If you are a teacher, use your gifts to teach the young, the ignorant and also bring your teaching school to the church. No gift is too small, whatever gift you have, as you use it to bless others, to bring glory to God, the Lord will enlarge it, the Lord will lead you to the next step. But many of us are lost as to what God wants for us, as to where He wants us in life because we are too focused on using our gifts selfishly.
A gift not use to bless others will become a curse! If we are not using our gifts to bless others and bring glory to God, our gifts 🎁, whatever they may be will be a curse. This why many of our prayers are not answered. Imagine a man 👨🏿💼who is using his good words to seduce women , his money to tempt them, isn't he using gifts as a curse to the world? What about a brilliant who use his skills of scientific knowledge to create vaccines, or other medical things that destroy lives ? Isn't he being a curse to the world ? Will God bless him with more ? More will only make him a greater curse.
And so it is God doesn't bring many of us to a higher place in life because we are already using the little He has given us for selfish means. Greater blessings will only reveal greater unfaithfulness in us. Sharing your gift with others will not diminish but increase your abilities, increase your blessings. Don't think you have to wait until you have more of whatever you have before you can start to be a blessing to others, but use whatever you have now to make the life of others better and the Lord will increase you. Giving is the great principle of life. God gives to Christ who gives to us to give to others and the glory returns to God.
Those who refuse to use their gifts to bless others break the circle of life, the circle of blessings, the circle of giving and bring a curse upon themselves. Friends, let us pray, let us ask God to give us the strength to use the gifts, the abilities He has given us to be a blessing to others. When you start living life to a blessing to others, you will find yourself worrying less and less about yourself. To give is to live. God love so He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus loves He gave His life and when we love we will give to others, God will be glorified and the Lord will continue to increase our blessings. What is the purpose of life ? To serve God and to be a blessing to others . God told Abraham I will bless you and thou shalt be a blessing. God wants to do the same for us, He wants to bless so that we will be a blessing to others. Let us start being a blessing to others today by the grace of God.
