"Your life
is too small to be the purpose of your life"
Pastor Sam Adeyemi.
There is
nothing without a purpose. Everything has its purpose embedded in it. When anything
is misused it’s because its purpose is not known. There are more discoveries
everyday from scientist and researchers about the earth, sun, galaxies, chemicals,
plants etc. Some have been misused, some underused.
It’s the same
for us as humans. We need to discover who we are to know the reason we are
living. It’s dangerous to live life not knowing why you are here. You will be
abused, disgraced, shamed, and treated wrongly. You need to deliberately find
yourself and your purpose for living. You will discover so many things about yourself
when you set out to know why you are here. One of these discoveries common to
all men on earth is “GIVING”.
From our Source
“God”, through his words in the beginning he proclaimed blessings on Man for
fruitfulness and multiplication; for having dominion and replenishing the
earth. That blessing still stands today for as many who believe in it. Inspite
of sin, that blessing could not be erased out of human existence. It’s the deal
that makes us in God’s image and likeness.
However, God’s
blessings, needs channels for full expression. If it doesn’t find, it is
truncated and God does not like it. In God’s nature and character, He is a God
of progress; He remains the same but through every generation He increases his
blessings. His son demonstrated it while He was here. He had the habit of
blessing, pouring, sharing and giving. He
gave and gave and gave until He gave his Life. He couldn’t hoard the
blessings God has bestowed on him. He gave and showed us the example we need to
follow.
For God’s
blessings to have a continuous flow in anyone’s life; we must be a channel in which
that blessings flow from God to others. That can only happen if we have a habit
of giving…..No, I mean a lifestyle of Giving. Whatever God has blessed us with,
no matter how small it seems in our eyes, we are meant to break it and give it
out so there is a continuous flow of God’s blessings over our lives.
This secret
revealed to us in his word in Acts 20:35 where it says “….it is more blessed to
give than to receive”, the devil knows it and blinds us from seeing this even
as Christians. Selfishness and self-centeredness prevails and seems to be the
right way, but it should not be so.
The cultural
patterns and mindset prevalent expresses blessing or wealth as how much you can
acquire but in the real picture, to get the blessings that adds no sorrow and
makes rich, you must be a giver, someone God can entrust resources in his hands
knowing well that you will break the blessings and give to as many in need or
he sends you to.
This is the
reason for our living; to replenish and multiply the earth with God’s blessing as
he pours it on us. Don’t let wrong mindsets distract you; be the channel God
wants to use to restore earth to heaven’s view; be the one God can call for any
cause because you can be trusted to do the right thing. Let your giving outlive
your living. Let what you give speak for you after you are long gone. Let lives
be changed and saved by your acts of giving and let earth experience the
blessings of God poured on you.
May you live
to Give and Give to Outlive You.
