Life is a Purpose

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Welcome, dear friends! Grace and peace from our Father God and our Lord, Jesus Christ be with you! Yesterday we started to talk about “strategical living”. As we said, life is time. Right attitude towards time helps us to rightly to life itself and vice verse. Each of us should pay great attention to the way we manages his time. Today I would like to look at another side of life: 
  1. Life is a Purpose.
 God has created each of you for a certain purpose. God has a common purpose and a personal (individual) purpose for each of us. Our common goal is to glorify the Lord. However, God also has a peculiar purpose He has created every individual to fulfill. I was sent to the Earth to solve certain problems. If you are driven by such awareness you will live a strategical life. Each of you has a certain goal and a purpose set by God. 
« For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.»(Ephesians 2:10).
 Each of you was created to solve a certain task from God. That’s why God has given you this time. Life is time, that’s why you should use it for solving your task. Therefore, if you dedicate your time to getting to know God’s will for your life, then to fulfilling your purpose, you won’t have time to do wrong things. The task assigned to you by God can make you either popular or unpopular, a leader or a subordinate. It’s important to dedicate yourself to fulfilling God’s goals. God’s goal may also determine whether you will live a short or a long life. It’s important to accept God’s goal then fulfil it. You have to respect that goal and do your best to achieve it. God’s goal is a place of your blessings. God’s goal for your life is something that will make you a blessing for the other people. God’s goal dresses you up and helps you to improve this world. It helps you to be a blessing everywhere you go. Your appearance should make people feeling better. The goal and the purpose of God help you to enrich the church, enrich people and the land where God has set you to live. Your goal helps you to glorify the Lord on Earth. Life is a goal! You live, then you have a goal. But what is that goal? What drives you every day? Life is a goal! Life is time! It’s important to know God, because without relationships with Him you will never get to know the goal of your life. Jesus revealed Himself and His task through the Scriptures first, then dedicated Himself to this task, dedicated Himself to fulfilling the goal received from God. The closer we are to God, the easier for us to get to know His will and the goal for our life. When you are close to God, you hear His voice, so God can easily lead you, then you follow His way. Having close relationships with God make you sensitive to His voice and guidance. Tomorrow we are going to discuss what certain tests our life is connected to. God bless you abundantly! Rufus Adjiboje, pastor

  • God is more interested in your spiritual growth, development of your character than a quick answer to your prayers!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 6 minutes
    It would not be hard for God to give you what you are asking for; it is a lot harder to cause changes in you and your character. Humans tend to be so ungrateful. The people of Israel were wandering through the desert; they called out to God, He answered them, but it did not change them. Afterwards, when a different problem came they called out to God again, and He answered them and gave what they had asked for. Nevertheless, their hearts remained unchanged. God can answer your prayers again and again, but it is not a guarantee of permanent changes in your life. Quite often God allows certain situations in our lives that help us to grow spiritually.

    Today I want to encourage you not to burry your dream, even when everything around you tells you that it won’t ever come true. There is such a thing as the power of resurrection. That is the word I want to bring to you.We started to talk about a woman whose hospitality and generosity brought a miracle into her life, and as a result she gave birth to a son.

  • Life is a test

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Once we understand our life is a test, many questioned get solved by themselves and we can rejoice and enjoy our life. Those who understand that life is a test, they treat every difficult situation as an opportunity, not as an obstacle. The Bible often tells us how God tests His children. He is not doing it because He hates us nor because He wants to see our fall. Not at all! God puts us in test for few reasons. God blessed Abraham with a son first, then tested him asking to sacrifice his son on the altar. God allowed ordeals in Job’s life, then Job went through all that horror and bitterness.

  • Are you growing in your walk with God?

    It is God desires for every one of His children to continue to grow in their relationship with Him. The reason is obvious from the Bible: until we grow up, we won’t be able to enjoy the privileges God has provided for us as His sons and daughters.“Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: {elements: or, rudiments}” (Galatians 4: 1-3).

  • The person who daily fills his heart with God’s Word has several advantages

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    1. God makes the feet of this person strong as the feet of deer.This person is able to run and not get weary. When he or she faces an obstacle or a wall, he has the strength to get over it. This thought is profound: the person who is filled with God’s light has power to overcome the difficulties of life. There are no invincible barriers for him. When the light of God comes into the person’s life, God’s wisdom comes with it and helps overcome all obstacles.
