MEMORISE: In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:6
BIBLE READING: Jeremiah 29:10-11
10 For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
MESSAGE:
I grew up with the intention of becoming the youngest vice chancellor in Africa; however, when I gave my life to Christ, I learned how to trust God completely, which eventually led me to find the right direction for my life. When I left my job as a senior lecturer at a university to become a full-time pastor, it didn’t make sense to many people then, but as I followed God’s path for my life, my purpose became clearer.
My dear child, if you are finding it difficult to understand your purpose right now, I encourage you today to be open-minded in your studies and with every task you’re given. As you do them, you’ll discover your areas of interest and know what to discard. If God has destined you to be great, you can’t afford to be lazy or merely wish for greatness. You have to be up and doing, study hard, intern for jobs, volunteer in organisations, acquire skills, attend seminars, meditate on God’s word, and pray hard.
When you stay committed to God and choose to follow His path, He will lead you to a glorious future.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, help me to discover and follow Your path for my life.
