CHAPTER 1
Understanding And Fulfilling
God's Purpose For Your Life
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus unto good works, which God hath before
ordained that we should walk in them". Ephesians 2:10
You have a purpose and a destiny to fulfill in your life, whether you are aware of it or not. Your ultimate goal is to carry out God's will in your life. However, to achieve this, you must first understand what God's will is and then strive to live accordingly.
In general, each of us has a purpose to fulfill during our time on Earth... to love and know God and His Son, Jesus Christ. Making Jesus Lord in your life is the first step. Attempting to carry out God's will without first having a relationship with Him is a futile endeavour. It will only result in self-centeredness and a failure to achieve God's intended purpose, leaving you feeling unfulfilled. After this, there is the fulfillment of God's general Word. In essence, it means walking in the overall purpose that God has bestowed upon all believers, which involves learning to walk in the power of the Word and following the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Without knowledge of the Word of God and obedience to His Holy Spirit, your progress will be limited. Each believer has a unique calling that God has appointed them to fulfill.
Ephesians 2:10 says...
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus [for the purpose] unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10
According to Apostle Paul, the Word of God states that God had predestined (appointed) certain good works for us to carry out even before the creation of the world. God has complete knowledge of both the beginning and the end, and He also knows what your purpose is during your time on Earth.
In 1 Peter 1:17, Apostle Peter was addressing Christians who were facing persecution. He reminded them that they were God's children, and that God is a just judge who will impartially judge them according to their works.
And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here [living here as temporary residents] in fear: 1 Peter 1:17
Therefore, you must live your life with a sense of reverence during your time on this earth. The term sojourning
refers to the act of passing through a place without intending to stay permanently. You need to engage in an activity during your journey to another destination.
You are more than a mere occupant of time and space. Peter is urging us to live holy lives, in fear of God's judgment. Conducting yourself in fear does not mean that you should be afraid of God. Rather, it means that you should have a deep respect for God and His holiness. You should live your life in a way that is pleasing to God, and you should be careful not to do anything that would bring shame to His name. Peter's words are a reminder that we are all accountable to God. We will all be judged one day, and we will be judged according to our works. You should be holy, and you should conduct yourself in the fear of God. God is your loving Father. He loves you unconditionally, and He wants the best for you.
Our time here on earth is temporary. We are pilgrims and strangers in this world, and our true home is in heaven. You might be unsure what your assigned purpose or task is and you might feel that you haven’t been called to pursue a career in ministry. It is true that not everyone is called to the five-fold ministry, which includes the roles of Apostle, Prophet, Pastor, Evangelist, and Teacher. But you are called to do good works. As Paul stated to the Ephesians, you are created in Christ Jesus for good works even before the world was formed. Have you ever thought about it this way? God expects you to fulfill your calling on Earth, and you will be held accountable for how you spend your time here.
In fact, your eternal reward will be determined by how you utilise the resources and opportunities that are available to you in the present moment. It is important to note that this should not be mistaken for your salvation, as salvation cannot be obtained through your actions or deeds. We are saved not by our own works, but by God's mercy.
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost. Titus 3:5
When you put your
