WHAT WERE YOU CREATED FOR?

I would start by saying this simple truth: "You did not come into this world by accident". It does not matter the circumstances surrounding your birth. You were made with God's purpose in mind and as long as you do not find His purpose for you and live it, there will always be a void in your soul.

According to Ephe 2:10, "You are God's workmanship..." Meaning that you are the result of God's vision. (That's powerful). God saw amazing things in His vision, and went forth to create you. And through Christ God continues to equip and develope you in accordance with the picture of what you should be.

However, knowing that God has a vision for us does not complete the job. We have to play our part in it. Everyone has his unique role to play in fulfilling Gods vision for his life. 1 Cor 3:9, puts it like this: "For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husandry, ye are God's building. (KJV). Before any house is built, there must first be a plan (vision) followed by the resources required to complete the house. God's plan is already in place, what is remaining is your will to work with Him.

No one has the right to live a visionless life. God's vision for your life is what you were made for. More so, His vision for you as an individual is only a fraction of the grand plan He had envisioned for the universe at large which, He has put in motion before you came into this world. Jeremiah 1:5, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."(NIV). This was God speaking to Prophet Jeremiah. Every one has his own unique purpose and vision which comes from eternity past, and fulfilling it will have amazing impacts in eternity future.

I encourage you to think about what it means to be God's workmanship and embark on discerning the purpose God has designed you for.

Thanks.

Remain Blessed!
