“Fulfilling Purpose”
Tuesday, February 25, 2025Key Verse
“And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.” Colossians 4:17
Text — Colossians 4:15-17
Message
From his childhood, Samuel understood the purposeof his life. He recognized and accepted the fact that he was born to serve God. This was the reason, he willingly accepted to live in the temple after he was weaned. He did not cry after his mother or father. He surrendered his life to serve God faithfully and acceptably.
Living for God means choosing to dedicate your life to Him, seeking His will for you and then following it. If you surrender your whole life to grow in grace and the knowledge of God and His Word, serving others rather than yourself, then you will be living out His divine purpose for you every day.
The key element of living a life of purpose is the ability to identify your life goals and the will of God for you. If you want to learn about your God-given purpose, a great place to start is to read the Bible, meditate on its instruction and put to practice all that He commands. Prayer is another great way you can discover and fulfill your God-given purpose.
