You are born for a purpose

Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures (James 1:18).

The expression, “word of truth” in verse above means word of reality, the word of true essence. This is wonderful, because it means your life isn’t a false; you are not living meaningless life and your life isn’t a shadow, because you are born of His true essence; of His Word of reality.

There is a purpose for your life. The words of Jesus in John 18:37 said “...To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth....” Pilate had to ask Him, “What is truth?” The world didn't know the truth.

In this world, everything is a shadow; nobody has ever finds their true reason for living. Even the great Solomon, despite all of his wisdom, he couldn’t discover truth. He said, “…vanity of vanities...all is vanity” (Ecclesiastes 1:2).

No wonder Jesus said, “…behold, a greater than Solomon is here” (Luke 11:31), because He came to bear witness unto the truth. Moreover, He is Truth himself(John 14:6). If anyone would know truth, you have to know Him, the incarnate Word of God, for whatever the Word says is truth.

So many people are living a lie, because they have rejected the Word, the Word of truth (2 Thessalonians 2:10); but not you! You are born of His truth. That is why you have got true joy. Only those that are born of Truth would experience the joy of truth; true and lasting joy! Even your prosperity is the prosperity of truth.

The prosperity of those who are not born again is the prosperity of numbers, because it is according to what’s in their bank accounts; the material accumulation of wealth but that's not true prosperity, because it’s fleeting; it’s not real.

However, living in and by the Word of truth translates you into the reality of eternity, where you only see and experience endless prosperity, opportunities, and possibilities.
