(There’s A Divine Purpose For Your Life)
TO THE BIBLE: Ephesians 2:10 AMPC
“For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].”
LET’S TALK
Do you know there’s a purpose for your life? Several years ago, the Lord told me that one of the most important things for men to do is discover their purpose and fulfil it, but most never do. Therefore, they live empty lives, never realising that there is a divine plan for them.
A generic purpose for all of God’s children is that we were born for His glory; we were born to walk with God and bring Him honour.
Beyond that, however, there’s a specific purpose for which you were created and placed on this earth. And it is in fulfilling that purpose that you truly bring glory and honour to God.
God doesn’t just do things; He has a purpose for everything. He has a purpose for the world, and He sure has a purpose for your life. If you haven’t discovered that specific purpose, you can today. Be bold to ask the Lord, and He’ll tell you.
Sometimes, He’ll speak expressly, as He did to Paul the Apostle (read Acts 26:13–16). Other times, He’ll guide you into it, and every day, you’ll discover more and more of His purpose for your life as you walk by faith in accordance with His Word in all things.

Pray:
Thank you, Father, for revealing to me the specific purpose for which I was created and placed on this earth. I’m a witness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, sent from your heavenly Kingdom for the salvation of souls on earth. My daily passion is to establish the Kingdom of God in the earth and in the hearts of men and thus bring you glory and honour, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
