Born for a reason, live for a purpose, die for a cause

“Born for a reason, live for a purpose, die for a cause” Tavis L. Morris.

John 18:37 (NET Bible) Then Pilate said, “So you are a king!” Jesus replied, “You say that I am a king. For this reason, I was born, and for this reason, I came into the world–to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”

REASON

Each one of us is in this world for a reason.It is not by coincidence that you are you and that you were born into this world. Just to make it through conception and through the gestational period in the womb and then to be birthed -it is a miracle that we are here. SO many things could have gone wrong to prevent us from being here. But HERE we are and we have a reason for being here.

One thing we must understand.. IT IS NOT BY CHANCE! We were created and exist and continue to exist because there is a reason bigger than ourselves, bigger than our perception, bigger than our understanding. And to understand this reason, we must get on the frequency that clarifies our understanding and enables our perception. That frequency is linked inextricably to GOD. He is the one who ultimately defines us, refines us and aligns us to our reason and to our purpose.

Frequency – the majority of us have cell phones. Have you ever wondered how we can use our cell phones to access a transmission frequency that ultimately helps us to communicate? What if we were to get on the transmission frequency where God is always speaking. Wow – to hear HIS voice -literally that would be HUGE!

PURPOSE

The reason for our existence is intertwined with our purpose. It is our mission. What exactly were we sent to do? Why did we make it through all the trials, the setbacks, the attacks, the things that sought to end our lives…. WHY? It is because our mission is not yet fulfilled.Our journey through life must be to discover our mission. Many times, we walk through life in fog… either not knowing our mission, not really caring or so confused by our existence that we miss reaching our full potential.

The definition of purpose is “the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists” (oxforddictionaries.com).

Life itself becomes meaningful when we understand our purpose. There are many purposes that occupy our daily life….social, occupational, communal…. but the larger purpose, the one that ultimately defines us is the MISSION. As we seek our Maker, the one who created us in HIS image and likeness, we will find out the mission that the enemy of man seeks to hide from us. It is like a treasure hunt, with clues laid out for us along our journey through life. But the beauty of it all is this- GOD has a way of helping us achieve that mission. How much clearer that mission would be if we can get on the frequency where God is speaking on so that we can hear His voice.

We also have a written manual- the BIBLE- where we can find answers and a GPS guide through the fog. He did not leave us clueless and unarmed.

CAUSE

We are born and we die. It is a fact. It is the law of life on the earth. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Gravity pulls things back to the earth. Death is the expected end to all of us.

With that in mind- our end is also tied to our reason and our purpose. Sometimes some of us meet that end too early or without really understanding our mission.To avoid this we have to be sober, and vigilant and do not live in a spiritual, mental and physical fog. We need to wake up and seek GOD to understand our mission and get aligned with God’s plan and purpose for our lives.

Let us seek to get on God’s frequency; seeking Him to reveal to us our mission and asking Him for direction daily as we seek to accomplish our purposes in HIM.

Matt 6:33 says “But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

CLARITY OF VISION,  STRENGTH OF PURPOSE AND FERVENT DESIRE FOR DESTINY- LET IT ALL BE IN AND THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR AND LORD!
