OUR PURPOSE

in #stach6 years ago

Don't be found doing many things but try to understand what you are and what you can do.

You must be able to understand that you are here to experience and to express the gospel and You are also here to fulfilled your life given purpose on earth.

Two things, God's part and your own but your purpose on earth here must be revealed and fulfilled in Christ.

Don't say you are a gospel Minister, and then you are expecting your members to be gathering money for you every time, you may let them know the need of the church but they are not design to be force to help you and the Church.

Remember

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians:9:7

Don't say you are a child of God, and you said Christ is your purpose, and that means there is no school. You are digging the well of poverty for yourself and probably your generation.

Don't say Christ finish the work, so you ought to be resting now. No work, nothing, you just want to live a useless and you want to be a liability to relatives.
You are right at one part but you are getting it wrong the other side. You are using the scriptures for your own idleness. That's heresy.

Using scripture like

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians:2:8-9

Study it well, it means another thing entirely, is not encouraging idleness.

Read

For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
2 Thessalonians:3:7-13

So as a child of God, desire to work with your hands and believe in the strength of God toward the fulfillment of your purpose.

You have purpose toward your own responsibility and you have a purpose in Christ Jesus.

Don't try to be doing many things.

Everyday should be meditated on what you have use it for.

Never spent your day nagging at your brothers ignorant concerning the gospel, the fruit you reap everyday depend on those you have edify.

Don't stay joking around only, read books, plan your life and set goals for your life.

Just think about this.
