Topic: Locating Your Bearing In Life [Friday December 1, 2017]
Scripture: …it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened…And Jesus himself began to be…Luke 3:21-23
Thought For The Day: Life without a definite bearing becomes a burden; life without purpose is pointless.
I welcome you to the month of December, the last month of the year, 2017. Today, I decree the shielding of your life, family and destiny from any arrow of death, tragedy, calamity or disaster fired in your direction in this season, in Jesus’ Name.
On this first day of the month, it is critical to deal with the matter of locating your bearing in life. This is because your bearing determines your becoming.
From our anchor Scripture above, we see that for the first 29 years of His life, Jesus could not begin His earthly Ministry until He located His bearing after His baptism at 30 years of age. After locating His bearing, He began to be.
Beloved, your purpose determines your future. Life without a definite bearing becomes a burden; life without purpose is pointless. This is why Dr. Myles Munroe said, ‘The purpose of life is the life of purpose’. So, nobody is qualified to live who does not know the reason for his or her existence.
One of the most crucial prayers to pray is, ‘Lord, why did you create me? What was on your mind before you created me? Reveal it to me!’
The truth is, when purpose is not known, regrets are inevitable.
But that shall not be your portion, in Jesus’ Name.
Remember This: Life without a definite bearing becomes a burden; life without purpose is pointless.
Assignment(S)
