To serve the present age my calling to fulfill Oh
-
made all my parents engage to do my master's well.
-
Dearly beloved, you are weelmly welcome to today's episode of
-
the Morning Glory Devotion, brought to you by the Harvest
-
Chapel International Commercy and airin on Radio ETCI today. Your
-
facilitators for today are Pastor and Missus Boffo. Let us
-
share a word of prayer. A Mighty Father, You're grateful
-
for another opportunity to fellowship with you and to imbibe
-
the Asian words that are able to build us up.
-
Please let your word impart life, give us hope and
-
review your purpose and intend to us in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen,
-
Please let us kindly say our confession together from Joshua
-
Chapter one, verse eight. This book of the Law shall
-
not get out of my mouth, but I shall meditate
-
in it day and nice that I may observe to
-
do according to all that is treading in it for them.
-
I will make my way prospers, and then I would
-
have us in Jesus' name, Amen, Amen beloved. The thing
-
for today's episode is don't just show up. Don't just
-
show up another's for consideration. It's from Germr chapter one,
-
verse five. I read from the New English translation.
-
JERREMR.
-
Chapter one, verse five. Before I formed you in your
-
mother's womb, I chose you, before you were born. I
-
set you apart. I appointed you to be a prophet
-
to the nations, beloved, this is the reading of the
-
word of the Lord. Thanks me to God.
-
Don't just show up? Is there a meaning to life?
-
On neither?
-
What comes to mind each day you realize you are
-
still alive? What comes to mind when you wake up
-
or do a new day? Is it a moment of
-
joy or pain? There's waking up come with a sense
-
of opportunity or regrets?
-
Why do you show up every day?
-
Do you really want to show up anyway? Or you
-
wouldn't if you had a chance to painlessly desiree.
-
Beloved.
-
Just in case waking up every day has become a bother,
-
an inconvenience, or an intrusion, then it's simply because you've
-
lost a sense of purpose and hence meaning to this life.
-
If there is no purpose to live up to, waking
-
up daily become a bedding since it will be meaningless.
-
But the Bible unequivocally declares that there is a purpose
-
to everything under the sun. If this life will make
-
any meaning at all, then you must live, move and
-
have your being purposefully. Don't just show up to life
-
daily without any signs of purpose. God the Designer had
-
your use in mind before he fashioned you, he told
-
Jeremiah in chapter one the verse five, before I formed
-
you in your mother's roomb, I chose you, before you
-
were born, I set you apart. I appointed you to
-
be a prophet to the nations.
-
When Paul was divinely.
-
Intercepted during the days he was prosecuting the church, his
-
question come selling what he should do thereafter were ranted
-
an insightful response from the Lord Jesus. Get up and
-
go to Damascus. There you will be told about everything
-
that you have been designated to do. In Acts chapter
-
twenty two, the best ten and concerning the Lord Jesus himself,
-
when Pilot questioned him of his kingship, he replied, for
-
this reason I was born, and for this reason I
-
came into the world to testify to the truth. John
-
chapter eight in the West thirty seven, Dear one, to
-
what purpose have you been appointed by the Creator for
-
which reason were you born? What have you been designated
-
to do in this life? Without answers to these questions,
-
life will be very frustrated seem to wake up.
-
To every day.
-
Many wordfully in their life simply because they have no
-
reason to continue.
-
But that must not be your story.
-
The Creator has a reason for your creation, and if
-
you care and are desperate enough to know, he will
-
reveal your make and purpose to you if you seek
-
him diligently and spend some solitary time with him. It
-
is purpose that would drive a twelve year old boy
-
away from his.
-
Parents for three days.
-
Gets into the corridors of sacred writings and begins to
-
debate with the writers and the interpreters of the laws.
-
It is purpose that will make a angry man ignore
-
food and say I have food, I eat you know not.
-
It is purpose that will make a man, under the
-
sentence of the most shameful death, say, Father.
-
Forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing.
-
It is purpose that will make a man expected to
-
be full of anger, bitterness, and revenge rather forgive and
-
say you ment it forever, but government it for good.
-
It is purpose that will make an afflicted man saying,
-
though he slay me, yet I trust him. It is
-
a purposeful man who will dare say war to me
-
if I preach not the Gospel. He had a selfless
-
prayer of a purposeful man. Give me Scotland or I
-
will die. Another man on a deathbed asks their attending doctor,
-
how many more minutes do I have to lay? Having
-
had a physician's estimated time, he requested, please put me
-
on my knees and let me intercede for the loss
-
for the last time before I die. Precious friend, what
-
exactly do you wake up to on a daily basis?
-
What is giving you the urgency of life? Every day?
-
Where there is purples, there is a drive for every
-
day living. It is purples that will put agency in
-
your steps and give you hope to keep going even
-
in your downtime. So don't just show up to life.
-
Show up to purple, and your life will make meaning.
-
God bless you, beloved. Let's purpossibly take our memory verse
-
together In Jerremany, chapter one, the five we are taking
-
it from the New English translation, he says, before I
-
found you in your mother's womb, I chose you, before
-
you were born. I set you apart, I appointed you
-
to be a prophet to the nations. Can we take
-
it again there? March chapter one, the verse five. Before
-
I found you in your mother's womb, I chose you,
-
before you were born, I set you apart. I appointed
-
you to be a prophet to the nations. Believed, Let's
-
share with a prayer together, Father, will pray in the
-
name of Jesus, that you will help us to know
-
the purpose onto which we have been appointed on this heir.
-
And it is I that sperate prayer in the name
-
of Jesus, that you revealed to as the reason for
-
which we were born. In the name of g Yes,
-
reveal to us that which we have been designated to
-
do in this life, that life on earth will have meaning.
-
We will not work about purpose lesslie in the name
-
of Jesus.
-
But every day.
-
Our steps will resonate reason. Our steps will resonate purpose.
-
Our steps we resonate that which you have designated for
-
us to accomplish. Let your name alone be praised. We
-
thank you well, give you glory in Jesus mighty name.
-
We have prayed, Amen and Amen.
-
Beloved, Before you were formed in the womb, God had
-
a purpose for you to fulfill. Go to Him to
-
review the purpose to you. It is your purpose that
-
will put urgency in your steps and a reason to
-
keep living. Kindly, continue tuning into the radio ETCI today.
