Inspiration
Have you ever asked yourself why you are here on planet Earth? How would you define the essence of your existence? Many people, including believers, live their lives with a myopic view of the reason behind their existence. Some believe they are here to enjoy God’s numerous blessings, to populate the earth but few believers are aware of the task given to them. As God’s spirit children, the main purpose of our living on earth is to bring glory unto Him (1 Corinthians 10:31).
With respect to this, Scripture calls the believer several names based on their function and responsibility on earth. We are called a chosen generation, selected by God before the foundations of the earth to be saved through His grace. We are called to be kings and priests, to rule the earth through His authority and power, and to enforce His will on the earth. We are a holy nation, consecrated and set apart to carry out His divine purposes. We are His special people bought by the price of His blood, saddled with the task of representing Him. Also, when we project the culture of God's kingdom through our godly virtues, we will be drawn to God and His name will be glorified.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, I bless You for the fountain of Your wisdom in me. Thank You for Your Spirit who gives me the appropriate words when I have to defend my faith. Help me to watch out for people who are insincere about knowing the truth, and protect me from their influences. I don't want to get caught up in religious arguments and miss the opportunity to minister to others as You would like me to do. Please remove any contentious spirit from me and help me focus on what matters most to You.
In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
