KNOW YOUR HEAVENLY PURPOSE!
Paul Dhinakaran
My dearly Beloved,
When we look back in our lives and our journey to the place we are now, we see some drastic changes. They have worked out for good and taught us some great lessons. The ups and downs in our lives have either left us bitter or better. But the one thing that has never lost its message and purpose is the cross. The One Man who will remain the same forever is Jesus and so is the love that He has for mankind. His work on the cross can never be replaced, ignored or shut off. It is there for all to see till He returns.
When Jesus hung on the cross, people around Him called it a blasphemy. They nodded their heads saying "If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross." (Matt. 27:40). The name and the authority of the Son of God came under a lot of condemnation and criticism. He became a curse unto mankind. The Bible says in Isaiah 53:2,3 "And when we see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him, He is despised and rejected by men. A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, and we hid as it were, our faces from Him. He was despised and we did not esteem Him." He was a man who was scorned, rejected and left alone to die, more so even rejected by His Father in heaven. The reason was to send the Holy Spirit upon all flesh in this world and bring salvation in their lives and household.
Today, we who have received Jesus as our Lord and Savior are commissioned by Him to seek and save the lost. Our purpose is to gather souls for the kingdom of God without expecting appreciation, rewards, name and fame from the world. The Lord should be given the first place in all our activities. It calls for us to make the Lords assignment and mandate the top priority. Every affliction and challenge faced in our walk with the Lord are tests to make us more like Him and would eventually lead to us witness in for Him. Let us then never forget that Jesus became a curse for us that we may become a blessing to the lost souls for His glory.
Prayer
Loving heavenly Father,
I come to You as a sinner and ask you to forgive me for being ignorant about the cross and what You did for me. Lord thank You for redeeming me from all my sins and giving me a new life through Your blood and resurrection. Today, I know how important it is to you that Your children gather souls for the kingdom. Lord, I have wasted precious time in this world but now fill me with Your Holy Spirit that I may fulfill Your purpose on this Earth. There is no turning back for me now but to serve You with all that I have in me. Thank You for helping me know this truth.
In Jesus name
Amen!
