LIVING\u00a0FOR A PURPOSE: THAT’S WHAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE WITH GOD IN US IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 8:28.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can only live a fulfilling life for a purpose, when you know and understand what your worth is, by God in Christ Jesus.\u00a0[Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11; Ecclesiastes 3:1 (1-11)];<\/b>\u00a0and for what you are created and made to be of God in Christ Jesus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Thou art\u00a0worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and\u00a0honour\u00a0and power: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for THY PLEASURE they are and were created”<\/i>\u00a0Revelations 4:12.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For BY HIM were all things CREATED, that are in heaven, and that are\u00a0in\u00a0earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM, AND FOR HIM”<\/i>\u00a0Colossians 1:16.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some live in a small-minded\u00a0world\u00a0that’s\u00a0full of self; and all they do is\u00a0talking,\u00a0oppressing, controlling,\u00a0dehumanising,\u00a0and\u00a0analysing\u00a0people, hence these groups are small-minded people in worth. While there are some who live\u00a0with\u00a0a larger-\u00a0at\u00a0-heart mindset – and for them, rather than wasting\u00a0time\u00a0on irrelevant matters\u00a0like\u00a0the small-minded people, they live beyond walls of difference in SELFLESS LOVE, SELFLESS HOPE and SELFLESS FAITH – reaching out and touching lives for their good and goodness – and are often burning\u00a0with\u00a0flames in them for the good CAUSES of God for others with their God-given resources of – TIME, FINANCE, MATERIAL [DEVICE], PEOPLE, EFFORT [SKILLS\/TALENTS].\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And until you come to know, understand and\u00a0realise\u00a0that you are created and made purely for the good of God’s PURPOSE and everything about you is of and for God CAUSES, you will be\u00a0living\u00a0for self and sentiments in small minds and small worlds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“There is a SEASON (A TIME APPOINTED) for everything and a time for every delight and event or PURPOSE under heaven . . . 11 He has MADE everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the human HEART [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]\u2014yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end”<\/i>\u00a0Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11 (1-11).<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore,\u00a0think and change for a\u00a0good cause\u00a0and become an agent of greater change, making a difference for the good of others beyond borders; and irrespective of class, gender,\u00a0colour, culture and tongue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Life WORTH is about\u00a0living\u00a0– firstly, with a selfless FAITH, HOPE And LOVE – and secondly, toward advancing the Kingdom causes of God – and thirdly, in keeping the Enemy and Cohorts at bay, for the good of others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
