(Sixth part)
Memory verse: (Rom12:2) " And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God "
The greatest discovery in life is to find out the reason of your creation. There’s no person God ever created without purpose (Eph2:10) You are great because it’s God who made you and made you for a peculiar purpose. It’s you who don’t know it but the God who made you has it. Our great responsibility is to seek God our maker and find out from him the reason he made us. The bible teaches how, by refusing this world to make us anything it desires some people say we’re products of environment but God says: " Don’t allow the things around make you another person other than who I made you to be ".
God says to us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds and then we will understand God’s perfect will for our life. You begin to live the day you discover your purpose in life. You become significant when you find out what you’re made for. You know your value when you know what you were made to do. You know your position when you know your purpose. You understand the place of your function when you know what you’re made for. Purpose in life gives you direction, focus, vision and passion in life. Without vision people have no reason for prayer.
Vision is the mother of prayer. Men and women with vision are like pregnant women. When Mary the mother of Jesus met Elizabeth, they both exploded with praise because of what was in their wombs. When spiritual wombs are pregnant with God’s purposes, they won’t need motivators or provokers to birth prayer out of them. Certain things are common to all pregnant women, and so are with purpose driven men and women. They all begin to pray. Purpose produces prayer. Vision catalyses prayer. Vision is a burden that will always disturb you enough to make you pray. If you’ve been a believer for a long time and your prayer life is weak, tell God to impregnate your spiritual womb with a heavenly purpose. What God put in the womb of Mary by the Holy Spirit is what caused a river of praise out of her lips. The things God makes you to see with your spiritual eyes captivates your heart, they stir you up. When God opened the eyes of Nehemiah to see the state of remnants of Jews in terrible conditions, he could not eat, he could not sleep, his comfort was destroyed, he wept and interceded fervently and he rose up to do something.
