THE PURPOSE OF YOUR EXISTENCE
SCRIPTURE: This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise. Isaiah 43:21
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Man did not initiate his existence, so he cannot direct his life.
For a man to be fully dedicated and serve God faithfully, it is important for him to know the purpose of his existence.
We are on earth to fulfil these two major purposes:
1.Man was created to share the character and likeness of God and to
function as the extension of God’s authority over the earth.
2.Man was created to give God pleasure through worship and communion.
I want you to take note of these three key thoughts concerning your existence:
1.We did not bring ourselves into the world so we cannot live as we
want. Man did not initiate his existence, so he cannot direct his
life.
2.Any future without God is a future without good, both in this world and the hereafter.
3.To progress without God is to hurry into irrecoverable and irreversible destruction.
Today, I decree that you will not run your race in vain; you will not lose your place in God’s Kingdom in Jesus’ Name.
Remember this: Man did not initiate his existence, so he cannot direct his life.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1.Go through today’s study again.
2.Ensure that you serve God without distractions as authentic service to God is the reason for your existence.
PRAYER: O LORD, I ask that You draw me closer in relationship with You. I hunger and thirst for You, LORD, in Jesus’ Name.
