By Adeshola Abraham
Your purpose is an integral part of you. It was planted in your heart when you were created and God has equipped you with everything you need to fulfill it. You may not feel like you have everything you need but it's all there.
Just as I was telling the children in my class on Sunday that God has blessed each of us with gifts and strengths, things that we do well naturally, like athletics or organizing or bookkeeping. But our strengths also include innate social skills, like ability to calm a crowd or the talent to get someone to open up and talk to us.
They also include those indefinable qualities that can't be taught, such as the ability to invent new ways to do things or to come up with the perfect business strategy.
Even more than that, God gives each of us the skills and mold our perspectives. Sure, you may share a lot of skills and strengths with others you know but certainly not all of them. And no one else has ever lived the life you have. All these things combined make you the person for the job, which is the purpose God has selected just for you.
Growing up, I was a talkative. But I dared not face a crowd to speak for fear of committing blunders. Now I don't know how and when it happened, that I now use the talkativeness for Jesus.
For some people they realize early, and for others, much later in life. Some don't even discover at all let alone live it. But in your own case, you will live to fulfil the plan and purpose of God for your life in Jesus name. And you will make impacts in your generation. In fact, generations yet unborn will read about it in Jesus name. Amen
Good Morning and happy Midweek.
