PURPOSE OF MAN'S CREATION AND PROFESSIONAL CHALLENGES

                     
        Purpose Of Man's Creation And Professional Challenges

Introduction:
   Compliments of the season to my readers, i hope that we didn't forget the purpose of Christmas celebrated yesterday which is a reminder of why Jesus Christ came into this sinful world. By the power of the Almighty God, i pray that we understand the purpose in which we were created, Amen.

   Life is a puzzle to be solved by all, when man fails to discover his purpose, then he abuses the resources at his disposal which leads to numerous problems that will affect the maturity of man's defined purpose. For the growth & development of the human world, all men from different spheres must unite, love and be honest in all of their dealings. Irrespective of our man's religion, Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Gentleness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Meekness, Self-control are tools that will help man gain full access to the purpose in which he was created & also to overcome man's professional challenges of today's world.

Argument:
1) OUR GOD IS A GOD OF PURPOSE - God never does anything without a purpose. John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life". As Christmas is focused on Christians all over the world, then we should not forget the purpose in which Jesus was sent into this world, remember his birth, what he came to do, etc. Galatians 1:3-5 tells us why Jesus gave himself unto us. He gave himself for a purpose.
   In order for a profession to sustain various challenges, it must know why it was created and how to serve the purpose in which he was created.

2) WHEN THE PURPOSE OF A THING IS NOT KNOWN, ABUSE SETS IN - We do not know the purpose of ants, so we kill them, i read that under a certain process, if we grind ants, squeeze the juice in it and add some things to the juice is a cure to leprosy. One thing i am sure of is that man cannot solve what he doesn't understand, how can we make use of resources when we dont know how to apply them into our lives. There is a saying that its not what you have but what you use.
   When any professional team is unable to identify its purpose, they'll abuse/mis-use the resources they have at their disposal.

3) MISSION OF AN ENTITY - God wants his name to be glorified through us and whatever is ours simply because he owns us. Ephesians 1:10-12 says God wants His name to be glorified through us. The purpose of man can be known by simply doing the will of God and doing His will results to living a peaceful life. I have grown to understand that everything on heart is vanity except the will of God which guideth the ways and works of human channeling him into the purpose in which he was made for. Whoever does the will of God inherits greater things both on earth and in heaven. The purpose of our creation differs, however, God's will is not always convenient for man but it results into all good things of life but the will of man brings trouble unto the doer.

4) FAILURE TO ACHIEVE A SET-PURPOSE - When man fails to achieve the purpose he was set for, Pastor E.A. Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church Of God said three things happen to a man who fails to achieve his set-purpose; a) man is set aside, b) man is replaced, and c) Because God does everything for a purpose, God will use a erstwhile instrument of honor as a vessel unto dishonor. When an entity is not ready to be used as an instrument of honor, you'll be used as a vessel unto dishonor. When a profession fails to achieve its set-purpose, then it becomes useless and gets dishonored.

5) No force can affect God's will for our life as he is capable of working out his purpose & plans in his own mysterious ways. For example, Joseph had his dreams but the rest of the events that ultimately led to the fulfillment of the dreams were taken out of his hands. God worked the purpose out in his own mysterious way.

6) LET US NOT BE AGAINST OURSELVES - This means that man can be an enemy against himself, how? God honors those who honor Him & they that despite him shall likely be dishonored.  Romans 8:31b says If God be for us, who can be against us? The answer is ourselves, yes, you and i can be the hindrance to our success, how? God could be for a man but man could be against himself by not submitting himself unto the will of God.

   All conditions being normal, the aim of a student is to pass out of the learning institution with a good grade which comes as a result of studying in love and honesty. Substitute: student = man, learning institution = human world, grade = result of stewardship on earth, study = acts which determine good grades or bad grades.
   In conclusion, since man makes up a society/community, then when he finds his purpose of creation by doing the will of God, then everything that concerns man and is attached to his profession will always overcome their challenges. I want us to know that Man cannot do God's will without serving the Most High, remember that man cannot solve what he doesn't understand & to understand something means to study it in love and honesty. I urge us to study more of the holy book(bible) which also gives pure knowledge.
   I PRAY THAT GOD WILL SHOW US HIS MERCY AND TEACH US TO DO HIS WILL, AMEN.
