MAKING YOUR LIFE COUNT

TO MAKE YOUR LIFE COUNT,YOU NEED TO KNOW YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE OR THE REASON WHY YOU ARE HERE ON EARTH.
            -To Know why you were born into this planet at such a time like this,you must begin with GOD ALMIGHTY YOUR CREATOR.

         *COL.1:16Msg"For everything,absolutely everything,above and below,visible and invisible....every thing got started in him and finds its purpose in HIM"
       -Only in GOD can you discover your origin,identity,meaning, significance and destiny.

♦NOTHING TRANSFORMS A LIFE LIKE A PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE.
              *THE WORD DRIVE means to guide,to control,or to direct.(to be directed and controlled by a force)

              *ECCL.4:4Lb"I Observed that the basic motive for success is the driving force of envy and jealousy.

         -A Purpose driven life is about fulfilling your GOD GIVEN LIFE PURPOSE and not about attaining or achieving success in the sight of men or trying to compete to outdo someone else.
          -Living a Purpose driven life is about becoming what GOD created you TO BE,so that you can start living your life doing what really counts and matters in life.

           -Your purpose in life should be your greatest pursuit in life.Reaching your SELF GIVEN goals in life,does not make you a success in GOD'S SIGHT.
              *MATH.16:25Msg"Self-help is no help at all.Self-sacrifice is the way,my way,to find yourself,your TRUE SELF."

♦HOW TO MAKE YOUR LIFE COUNT

1.KNOW YOUR PURPOSE FOR LIVING

            -Knowing your purpose gives meaning to your life and makes your Life Worth Living.
          -when your life has a meaning,you can bear almost anything ;without it,nothing is bearable.

         -Without GOD,Life has no purpose,and without purpose,Life has no meaning.Without meaning,Life has no significance or HOPE.
         -Purpose is discovered through maintaining a relationship with CHRIST.You don't get to choose your purpose in life, because it predates your Conception.

         -Every human being on Earth,were all born by HIS PURPOSE and for HIS PURPOSE.
        -IN ESSENCE,it's not about your own thing but about what HE WILL HAVE YOU DO.
          -You are made by GOD and for GOD.Your life will never make sense and Count until you understand this truth.

2.SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE AND GIVE IT FOCUS AND TARGET

       *PROV.13:7Msg."A Pretentious,showy life is an empty life;a plain and simple life is a full life."
        -You become effective by being selective.
        -You live an impactful life and don't waste time doing what does not build you up.
                 *Eph.5:15-16"figure out what will please Christ,then do it,don't waste your time on useless work."

3.BE MOTIVATED AND PASSIONATE ABOUT WHATEVER YOUR DOING

           -IT is meaningless work that wears us down and robs us of joy and strength.

4.PREPARE FOR ETERNITY AND BUILD AN ENDURING ETERNAL LEGACY.

         -Everything else will fade away and be forgotten,except what you do for the kingdom advancement while fulfilling your GOD-GIVEN PURPOSE.
         
     ANY OTHER PATH WE TAKE IN LIFE OUTSIDE THE PURPOSE OF GOD WILL LEAD TO A DEAD END.
            *ROM.8:6Msg"Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end;attention to GOD leads us out into the open,into a spacious free life."
          
           -You should not use GOD for our own self actualization programmes and plans.
         -You don't speculate yourself into GOD'S PURPOSE,but you receive it by DIVINE REVELATION from GOD.YOU CAN ASK GOD FOR IT.

         -Apostle Paul Came to the Place Where He Finally Understood that to make your LIFE Count,it is not about what you are Able to Do, but what THE LORD would have you DO.

          * Acts 9:3-6 MSG
He set off. When he got to the outskirts of Damascus, he was suddenly dazed by a blinding flash of light. As he fell to the ground, he heard a voice: “Saul, Saul, why are you out to get me?” He said, “Who are you, Master?” “I am Jesus, the One you’re hunting down. I want you to get up and enter the city. In the city you’ll be told what to do next.”

       -Focusing on yourself will never reveal to you the purpose of GOD for your life.Only your creator can tell you why HE CREATED YOU TO DO.
         *JOB12:10Tev"it is GOD who directs the lives of HIS creatures;everyone's life is in HIS POWER."

♦RUN BACK TO GOD AND MAKE YOUR LIFE COUNT AS YOU FULFILL GOD'S PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE.
        *EPH.1:11Msg"It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for.long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up,He had his eyes on us,had designs on us for glorious living,part of the
overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone."

AS WE CONCLUDE,I WOULD LOVE TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO EMBRACE THE PURPOSES OF GOD FOR YOUR LIFE SO YOU CAN MAKE YOUR LIFE COUNT WITH EXCITEMENT AND GREAT EXPECTATIONS FOR GREAT THINGS.BE BLESSED AND PROSPER
