IN SEARCH OF PURPOSE (PART 1)

Has it ever occurred to you that you never chose your sex, race, nationality, family, complexion, height, etc? Are you aware that these things define who you are? Yet, you were never part of the decision-making process that let) to these definitive features of your life. Hope you also know that regardless of who you are or where you are from, you are only going to be in this life once. You are not coming back! The next place after here is eternity — Heaven or Hell.
The choices a father makes for his child without consulting him go a long way in revealing the plans that father has for his child.
God is our Father and our Creator. He made some vital choices for us without any consultation with us. He didn’t do this because He is bossy or dictatorial. He did so because of His plans for us which are rooted in His love. His love for us is incomprehensible. It is incredible! He loves us so much He chose to die for us. Believe me, even if you were the only human on earth, God would have still died for you. Yes! He loves you more than you can ever know. Nevertheless, my concern today is not His love but the expression of His love — HIS PLANS. God has wonderful plans for you. They are too colorful for your imagination to grasp.
“For I know the plans I have for you. “ declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11: NIV)
God, because of His plans, made some vital choices for you. He chose your sex, race, nationality, tribe, parents, siblings, talents, temperament, etc. He even chose the time of your birth. These choices are nothing but expressions of the plans He has for you. They are secret codes that contain vital information about why you were created in the first place. They go a long way in revealing what He had on His mind when He created you. God has .a purpose for making you Black and not White, Nigerian and not American, Male and not Female, etc. All these are based on Divine Calculation!
Believe it or not, God has specific reasons for creating you and your fulfillment lies in discovering and walking in God’s purpose for your life. Why was I born into my family? Why am I the firstborn? Why am I the only daughter of my parents? These and many more are the questions you must begin to ask God in prayer. Remember, only the manufacturer knows the intimate details of his product.
“Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in an hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand)” Jeremiah 33:3, AMP
I have a lot to share with you along this line but I will continue next week because of time and space constraints. If you desire to know God’s purpose for your life, this series is for you. Please, don’t miss any of the editions.
