  5. Chapel International Commercy and airin on Radio ETCI today. Your

  6. facilitators for today are Pastor and Missus Boffo. Let us

  7. share a word of prayer. A Mighty Father, You're grateful

  8. for another opportunity to fellowship with you and to imbibe

  9. the Asian words that are able to build us up.

  10. Please let your word impart life, give us hope and

  11. review your purpose and intend to us in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen,

  12. Please let us kindly say our confession together from Joshua

  13. Chapter one, verse eight. This book of the Law shall

  14. not get out of my mouth, but I shall meditate

  15. in it day and nice that I may observe to

  16. do according to all that is treading in it for them.

  17. I will make my way prospers, and then I would

  18. have us in Jesus' name, Amen, Amen beloved. The thing

  19. for today's episode is don't just show up. Don't just

  20. show up another's for consideration. It's from Germr chapter one,

  21. verse five. I read from the New English translation.

  22. JERREMR.

  23. Chapter one, verse five. Before I formed you in your

  24. mother's womb, I chose you, before you were born. I

  25. set you apart. I appointed you to be a prophet

  26. to the nations, beloved, this is the reading of the

  27. word of the Lord. Thanks me to God.

  28. Don't just show up? Is there a meaning to life?

  29. On neither?

  30. What comes to mind each day you realize you are

  31. still alive? What comes to mind when you wake up

  32. or do a new day? Is it a moment of

  33. joy or pain? There's waking up come with a sense

  34. of opportunity or regrets?

  35. Why do you show up every day?

  36. Do you really want to show up anyway? Or you

  37. wouldn't if you had a chance to painlessly desiree.

  38. Beloved.

  39. Just in case waking up every day has become a bother,

  40. an inconvenience, or an intrusion, then it's simply because you've

  41. lost a sense of purpose and hence meaning to this life.

  42. If there is no purpose to live up to, waking

  43. up daily become a bedding since it will be meaningless.

  44. But the Bible unequivocally declares that there is a purpose

  45. to everything under the sun. If this life will make

  46. any meaning at all, then you must live, move and

  47. have your being purposefully. Don't just show up to life

  48. daily without any signs of purpose. God the Designer had

  49. your use in mind before he fashioned you, he told

  50. Jeremiah in chapter one the verse five, before I formed

  51. you in your mother's roomb, I chose you, before you

  52. were born, I set you apart. I appointed you to

  53. be a prophet to the nations.

  54. When Paul was divinely.

  55. Intercepted during the days he was prosecuting the church, his

  56. question come selling what he should do thereafter were ranted

  57. an insightful response from the Lord Jesus. Get up and

  58. go to Damascus. There you will be told about everything

  59. that you have been designated to do. In Acts chapter

  60. twenty two, the best ten and concerning the Lord Jesus himself,

  61. when Pilot questioned him of his kingship, he replied, for

  62. this reason I was born, and for this reason I

  63. came into the world to testify to the truth. John

  64. chapter eight in the West thirty seven, Dear one, to

  65. what purpose have you been appointed by the Creator for

  66. which reason were you born? What have you been designated

  67. to do in this life? Without answers to these questions,

  68. life will be very frustrated seem to wake up.

  69. To every day.

  70. Many wordfully in their life simply because they have no

  71. reason to continue.

  72. But that must not be your story.

  73. The Creator has a reason for your creation, and if

  74. you care and are desperate enough to know, he will

  75. reveal your make and purpose to you if you seek

  76. him diligently and spend some solitary time with him. It

  77. is purpose that would drive a twelve year old boy

  78. away from his.

  79. Parents for three days.

  80. Gets into the corridors of sacred writings and begins to

  81. debate with the writers and the interpreters of the laws.

  82. It is purpose that will make a angry man ignore

  83. food and say I have food, I eat you know not.

  84. It is purpose that will make a man, under the

  85. sentence of the most shameful death, say, Father.

  86. Forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing.

  87. It is purpose that will make a man expected to

  88. be full of anger, bitterness, and revenge rather forgive and

  89. say you ment it forever, but government it for good.

  90. It is purpose that will make an afflicted man saying,

  91. though he slay me, yet I trust him. It is

  92. a purposeful man who will dare say war to me

  93. if I preach not the Gospel. He had a selfless

  94. prayer of a purposeful man. Give me Scotland or I

  95. will die. Another man on a deathbed asks their attending doctor,

  96. how many more minutes do I have to lay? Having

  97. had a physician's estimated time, he requested, please put me

  98. on my knees and let me intercede for the loss

  99. for the last time before I die. Precious friend, what

  100. exactly do you wake up to on a daily basis?

  101. What is giving you the urgency of life? Every day?

  102. Where there is purples, there is a drive for every

  103. day living. It is purples that will put agency in

  104. your steps and give you hope to keep going even

  105. in your downtime. So don't just show up to life.

  106. Show up to purple, and your life will make meaning.

  107. God bless you, beloved. Let's purpossibly take our memory verse

  108. together In Jerremany, chapter one, the five we are taking

  109. it from the New English translation, he says, before I

  110. found you in your mother's womb, I chose you, before

  111. you were born. I set you apart, I appointed you

  112. to be a prophet to the nations. Can we take

  113. it again there? March chapter one, the verse five. Before

  114. I found you in your mother's womb, I chose you,

  115. before you were born, I set you apart. I appointed

  116. you to be a prophet to the nations. Believed, Let's

  117. share with a prayer together, Father, will pray in the

  118. name of Jesus, that you will help us to know

  119. the purpose onto which we have been appointed on this heir.

  120. And it is I that sperate prayer in the name

  121. of Jesus, that you revealed to as the reason for

  122. which we were born. In the name of g Yes,

  124. do in this life, that life on earth will have meaning.

  125. We will not work about purpose lesslie in the name

  126. of Jesus.

  127. But every day.
