You are Created for Something Greater than Your Life: God intentionally placed you on earth to carry out a specific divine assignment for the Kingdom of God. Nothing about your existence is accidental or unplanned. But your purpose is outside of you. You are not the primary beneficiary of your purpose or existence. No one is created for self-preservation, to benefit self, or to make self the central focus of one’s existence. Every divine assignment that is effectively carried out will massively impact the greatest number of people for the longest time possible. Whatever your earthly assignment is, it must be carried out and completed within your lifetime, but the results or effects of that assignment must continually impact the lives of countless future generations reverberating into eternity. Therefore, have a clear knowledge and understanding of your divine assignment which is the purpose for your existence. Be extremely focused on fulfilling that purpose, expend every joule of your energy for its cause, and become a man or woman on a mission. Prioritize, prioritize, prioritize, and learn to say no even to good things that are not aligned with your divine purpose. Remember, there is not enough time in your lifetime to do all the good things you could do. Live purposefully, plan effectively and work intentionally and urgently to redeem the time and maximize your effectiveness. “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.” (Ecclesiastes 9:1 Your life will never have meaning, direction, or satisfaction until it is lived for its purpose. What is the purpose of your existence? What have you been assigned to do? Do it now. Start today. Delayed obedience is disobedience.
