OUR PURPOSE FOR LIFE

Do you ever feel like you’re just going through the motions, wondering, “What is my purpose in life?” If you’re searching for meaning or feeling unfulfilled, you’re not alone. Many people grapple with these questions, especially in a world that pushes material success over spiritual connection. The good news? God has a unique purpose for your life, rooted in His eternal plan. This blog explores how to discover your divine purpose, overcome worldly distractions, and live for God’s glory. Let’s dive into this life-changing journey together. Why Finding Your Purpose Matters Life can feel empty without a sense of direction. Whether you’re chasing career goals, relationships, or wealth, these things often leave a lingering void. The Bible warns that worldly pursuits are fleeting: “The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever” (1 John 2:17, NIV). So, what happens when life’s foundations—health, loved ones, or possessions—are stripped away? Does your ...

Have you ever wondered if you’re living the life God intended for you? Many of us chase careers, studies, or goals without pausing to seek His guidance, only turning to Him when we’re trapped in dissatisfaction. Yet, God crafted a unique purpose for each of us, with good works prepared in advance (Ephesians 2:10). Even when we veer off course, His plan remains steadfast, ready to redirect and restore us. The world may highlight our shortcomings, but God sees our potential and meets our deepest needs. Trusting His purpose requires faith, resilience, and surrender—here’s how to embrace it. Stepping Out in Faith To live God’s purpose, we must walk in His Spirit, letting Him guide our paths. Faith isn’t just believing in God; it’s trusting His promises and acting on His call, even when the future is unclear. Proverbs 16:3,9 assures us, “Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed… The LORD determines [our] steps.” God, the Alpha and Omega, knows our journey’s end. Take ...

How to please God We were created to bring God glory in everything we do. We are here on earth as temporary ambassadors for God's Kingdom, so how we live our lives must please God. Rejoice, Pray and Give Thanks constantly "Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus."  (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) We can't please God unless we have a relationship with him. When we are in constant communication with God internally in joyful prayer with thanksgiving, we please Him. In life there is always something to be thankful for. Let us be still and quiet, allowing our spirits to connect with God's Holy Spirit, as this will please God. Study the Word "You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus."  (2 Timothy 3:15) Through the bible, we gain wisdom by viewing life through God...

The Pure Heart The heart is a perplexing organ. It is the wellspring of our thinking and, ultimately, our actions, yet it is hidden from the rest of the world. We have a tendency to govern and monitor our outward behavior, since what we do is apparent to the rest of the world. However, we often overlook the heart. Yet nothing is more essential than our inner lives. Our genuine self is our inner self. Every day, we put on masks and appear to be better than we are. God sees through the disguise and assesses us based on our motives hidden deep in our hearts. 'How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults. Keep your servant from deliberate sins! Don’t let them control me. Then I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin. ' Psalms 19:12-13   A true follower of Christ doesn’t behave differently in church and another way at home. No, we do not wear masks and play games. We do not manipulate behind the scenes. We also do not twist God’s Word...

Homosexuality When you search the question 'Is Homosexuality a Sin?' on Google, the first page contains answers that say homosexuality is not a sin. So, what does the Bible say about homosexuality? In the book of Romans, Paul wrote about God's Anger at Sin. In the first chapter and the eighteenth verse, he writes: " But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness." Romans 1:18 He was referring to people who knew the truth about God but chose to worship man-made idols rather than the true living God. These people made the decision to make themselves a law unto themselves. As a result, God left them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they committed heinous and degrading acts on each other's bodies. In the following verses, Paul goes on to describe the heinous things they did with each other's bodies: Romans 1:26–27 "That is why God abandoned them to their sha...

  Inner Strength in every situation We will all experience some form of suffering in this life. The hope for Christians is that we will be helped and strengthened to survive by the Holy Spirit. For those who are in Christ, heartache, suffering, and even death are all temporary. "In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation." ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:10 God promises to restore us, support us and strengthen us. "I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength." Philippians 4:12-13  The verses above were written by Paul in reference to his time in prison for preaching the word of God. God provided him the resilience an...

The Peace of God Jesus is known as the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). By His mere presence in our lives, He bestows peace on His people. His will for us is that we live in His peace, free from the worries and cares of this world. God has promised that He will never leave us or forsake us. So that when we face adversity, we can lean on Him and receive His peace, which will keep us strong and secure through hardships. "I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid." John 14:27 Everyone will face difficulties at some point in their lives. But as God's children, we have a mighty warrior on our side who walks alongside us, fights our battles, and comforts us. We are held together not by our own strength, but by His. As a result, difficulties should not deter us from our goal of living in His will. Hardships should strengthen our faith, causing us to become firmly rooted as we trust in H...

GOSSIP Gossip is one of those things that we can easily justify, especially when we have been hurt, and sometimes it is just out of our hidden hatred and malice for others. Gossip can take many forms, including venting, sharing opinions, seeking advice, and feigning concern. A gossip spreads confidential information around. They are untrustworthy. The Bible is unequivocal about the dangers of not having control over your mouth and what you say. The words we use have tremendous power to both build up and tear down. Gossip is poisonous.  There are two fundamental truths about gossip: Those that gossip to you will also gossip about you. And being the recipient of gossip makes you part of the problem.  Malicious talk or gossip is mentioned in the Bible, alongside sins such as murder and envy. The bible clearly condemns the sin of gossip. Are your words destroying or bringing life to others? Remember what 1st John 3 verse 6 says: " No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one w...

What is the world's definition of success in life? We go through life being told that in order to be considered a success in life, we are to work hard for a living and accumulate the comforts of life as well as achieve recognition. So we end up desiring material possessions of many types, including larger homes, better vehicles, pricey clothing and more as an indication of our success. When we get these things, we definitely experience a brief period of excitement, happiness and satisfaction, but this is soon followed by a sense of emptiness and discontentment with life.   There is a diminishing enjoyment in material things that sets us back onto the pursuit of new material things that can replace the old ones and hopefully give us joy. But the pattern is the same, we soon find ourselves feeling empty and unsatisfied with the new things. It is possible to be happy without stuff, but we can never be happy without God. If God is not first before all things in our lives, we ...
