Knowing Your Life Purpose

A very important aspect of the local church is its role of developing believers to be an important part of God’s working in this world.  The Lord knew that we would each need to understand our role in the overall working of His will so He did something very special—He gave us a Purpose. 

        As Rick Warren said, “Before architects design any new building they first ask, ‘What will be its purpose? How will it be used?….Before God created you, he decided what role he wanted you to play on earth. He planned exactly how he wanted you to serve him, and then he shaped you for those tasks.  You are the way you are because you were made for a specific ministry.”

        Are you actively, intently, passionately, and prayerfully seeking your place in God’s grand design? I can tell you that if you are not serving anywhere in God’s grand church you will have a very difficult time finding His grand design.  Here are 2 simple steps that will help you find that place:

• Select & commit to a place of service that is your passion, and one area of need.
• Take one training course in next 6 months.

      Having taken these steps, serve with excellence and feel the thrill of realizing your purpose.

And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. Eph 4:11—13
