Hello everyone! By 9th of September, everyone of y'all are going to submit a piece of coloured paper, decorated nicely with your life purpose statement written aptly and I-love-God-for-all-He's-worth-ly. (:
But, of course, being absent/not bothering to take notes/not bothering to bother like all teenagers normally are, here are several things to take note of when you write your life purpose statement:
What are God's purposes for my life? 1.You were planned for God's pleasure. Where is your heart of worship? Are you best friends with God? Are you doing things that are making Him smile? 2. You were formed for God's family. How concerned are you about fellowship in your church? Are things fine with your fellowship with God, your church members, and your friends? 3. You were created to become like Christ. Have you been growing in character, or in other words, becoming more like Christ? How have you dealt with temptation? Have you allowed yourself to be transformed by the truth that is the Word? 4. You were shaped for serving God. How well do you know yourself (i.e. your abilities, your strengths and weakness, your tendencies and habits, your passions and pastimes), and how far will you apply this in your service to God? 5. You were made for a mission. Evangelising — need I say more??
What is a Life Purpose Statement? It's a statement that summarises God's purpose for your life, points the direction of your life, defines "success" for you, clarifies your roles in life, and expresses your uniqueness (SHAPE: Spiritual Gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personalities, Experiences).
What do you want to do for God? Will your life be about church, about service, about evangelising, or about the very special calling he has called for you and you alone? Or will it about each and every one of the five purposes mentioned above?
Remember to make sure your life purpose statement will be able to answer any of the following questions: What will be the center of my life? What will be the character that I'll embody? What will be the contribution that I'll make? How will I communicate the Good News to others? What kind of community will I immerse myself in?
Here's an example: "My goal is Christlikeness; my family is the church; my ministry is in praise and worship, and I believe that he wants to send me to the workplace to share how Christ has changed my life. I also received a calling from God to write songs that will express my love for God. But whatever it is, my motive in doing all of this, will be for the glory of the Lord of Lords." Remember to decorate your coloured paper nicely! I'll laminate it nicely for all of y'all to paste it on your bedroom wall or door, haha. The best decorated paper and best written piece will be given a lovely prize each. So if you win both categories, kudos to you! See you all this Saturday...
