Do you still know what's your purpose...?

Psalms 35:18, 28 NKJV

I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people. And my tongue shall speak of Your righteousness And of Your praise all the day long.

Shalom! Day #226. Do you know what is the purpose you came to the world? Let's pray. Father, we pray that we would not forget the purpose of which You have sent us to the world. Use us Lord to declare Your praises.  Let our life sing an anthem of Your praise. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Many believers are just somehow walking their life meaningless not knowing what's the purpose of their lives and what's the reason they're still on earth. Do you know what is the purpose of your life? In John 1:6-7 NKJV it is written about John the Baptist and the purpose he came to this world, "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe." There's a few things that we would want to learn from this verse.

1. There was a man.
Recognize our humanity.  Yes, you must recognized that you are just a human that was made from the dust. It teaches us to know that we are human, and God is our Creator and we are nothing compared to what God is able to do. Meaning to say that we as human beings must humble ourselves and know the lordship of God upon our lives and we have a Master that we must submit to.

2. Sent from God.
Recognize your calling. Yes, folks, when Isaiah said, "here I am, send me" it means he knows what is his purpose he came to this world. Likewise, John was sent from God. You must know your calling. You were sent from God for what purpose? Not just to serve Him, not just to live for Him, but to bear witness of Him. Yes, you may be involved in many other ministries, yet our ultimate calling is to bear witness of Jesus to this world. Before He was taken up, He said to His disciples, "You shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." To be Christ witness is our ultimate calling, but you got to start somewhere.

3. To bear witness. 
Whatever you are doing, are we bearing witness about Jesus? And what is the result? Are we bearing fruits? Jesus said "I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit." Whatever ministry you're involved in, be the witnesses of Christ. Whatever you are doing,  be the witnesses of Christ. Let it be so that through you, through your life, people will come to believe in Christ. Let your life be a testimony that would glorify the Lord and let people be encouraged by the testimonies of your life. Bear witness.

In today's verse we see the psalmist, not just writing a Psalm to declare his God given purpose, but he is actually stating that for this purpose I have come, that I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people. And my tongue shall speak of Your righteousness And of Your praise all the day long. Give thanks to God in a great assembly means to declare or bear witness of what the Lord has done to you openly to everyone.  I will praise You among many people means to declare the banner of God over all the earth. My tongue shall speak of Your righteousness And of Your praise all the day long means to teach and disciple many about the laws of God, the righteousness of God.

So, do you know what is the purpose you came to this world?

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
