FOOD FOR TEENS: Purpose, Mission & Vision Part one

-


Every major cooperation or successful company in the world are driven by the following; purpose, mission, vision. Billion dollar businesses are founded on these three main concepts which means they must be very important to our success even as believers. These basic concepts should guide every entity on earth if they must enjoy maximum and long lasting success 

Purpose: 
Every believer is created by God to fulfill a specific purpose on this earth. This purpose is always and ultimately to advance the kingdom of God. This purpose is directly tied to humanity, to demonstrate the power that is in the kingdom our service to humanity so that, those affected by our lives work will be won for Christ. This is the ultimate purpose of every believer on earth. 

Matthew 6:31-33, “Therefore take no thought saying, what shall we eat? Or what shall we drink? Or wherewithal shall we be clothed? (for all these things do the gentiles seek) for your heavenly father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” If you want to succeed as a believer, don’t seek for the basic things that every man seeks after, those things shouldn’t drive you, what should drive you to succeed which will lead you to your core purpose in life is the kingdom of God. 

What is this kingdom of God we are talking about? This is the will of God for every man which was revealed through the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Therefore, deep down in the core of our being, the purpose for our lives should be to be witnesses of Jesus Christ, i.e, show evidence to the whole world that there is no other name by which any man can be saved except for the name of Jesus Christ. 

This purpose is characterized by love through service. No man can ever find this true purpose for their lives if all they are interested in is ‘self’ and not others, this was exactly why Jesus told us in Matthew 19:23, “Verily I say unto you that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” No man who is really ready to serve comes around dressed in his best clothes and jewelries. Jesus had to put His glory aside when He came to earth to do the will of God. If you are conscious of serving and drawing sous into the kingdom through your service, then God starts revealing unto you specifically the problems He has brought you into this earth to solve. 

To get to this point you must first start from wherever you are, give yourself to God to serve in Church, serve at home, serve wherever you find yourself, this doesn’t mean to become an errand boy but to look for a way to be of help everywhere you find yourself, solve a problem that would make others give glory to God for your sake, this must be motivated by the love of God shared abroad in your heart.

I'TS NOT WORTH IT : STOP RESISTING GOD IN YOUR LIFE

Dearly beloved, I welcome you all to this awesome month of June. May all that the Lord has for you this month be made manifest in your life in Jesus name, Amen. This month, I will be admonishing you on what I titled, ‘Stop resisting God in your life.’ The Bible says in the book of Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” The New International Version of the same book of Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declared the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” It is important to note by this scripture that God has great things in store for you, not just for your present but also for your future. What a wonderful Father. You facing difficult situations today can take comfort in Jeremiah 29:11 knowing that it is not a promise to immediately rescue you from hardship or suffering, but rather a promise that God has a

FOOD FOR TEENS :THE INTENTIONALITY OF GOD

What God has in store for us far exceeds what we can achieve on our own, it goes beyond our wildest imagination, those desires in us to achieve great things are product of the great things God has placed inside us but because we have not sort Him, we try to achieve these things based on what we see in the natural. We try to make sense of those things our spirit yearns for, we try to give them expression but we fail to go to Him that has put these things within us. You see people trying to achieve success in their careers, homes, businesses, academics, etc. thinking they will find true fulfillment. They dream of owning big companies, hoping to find fulfillment because they think that is the best way to get true fulfillment but every time a target is met a new one is created, yet the fulfillment they seek seems to elude them. All of creation seeks this fulfillment the creator has created and placed within them. Romans 8:19 says, “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for t

IT'S NOT WORTH IT: STOP LOOKING BACK

Hello my beloved saints, I welcome you to the month of December in the name of Jesus. May the Lord who has brought you this far take you farther and cause you to see and experience His glory in this new month in Jesus name. I will be sharing with you on what I titled “Stop Looking Back.” The Bible made us to understand that as Christians we are in a race, 1st Corinthians 9:24, "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain" . We are in a race and we must end up well, one thing we must do and consistently do is to stop looking back at our past, at our old lifestyle. No Christian can ever come to his or her place of victory in the Kingdom who consistently stays in his or her past. His or her past pleasures, failures, defeat, pain, lust, unforgiveness etc. It is one trap of Satan to keep a believer from making tangible progress. There is a profound statement made by our Lord Jesus which we must take to heart because
