If some one could have asked me a question of this kind before I came to the understanding of the mercies and the plans of God "What is the purpose of your creation" I guess I could have answered them To be a good obedient son to my earthly father, graze his cows and see them multiply in other words to MAKE MY EARTHLY FATHER HAPPY. May be you could have said to go through school successfully and get all those degrees in secular institutions of learning, and able to develop this world of ours! There could have been many answers to this question.
Like all of you our understanding and focus changed when we come to know the saving graces of Jesus, We come to know that we were created for a single reason which is TO PROCLAIM THE PRAISES OUR LORD GOD! Isaiah 43:21. Yea, that's it the only reason me and you are alive is to be vessels and proclaim the praises of our God.
Do not say who Am I to proclaim the goodness of God, Do not look down on yourself and let the enemy use your past to keep you chained, Do not say but I am not a Saint! I am a Sinner! I am weak, how can I proclaim the Praises of God! That is what the devil uses to keep us bound in our former sins, and thoughts, do not let Satan keep you in his prison our guilty, Yes I have decided to refuse it too, Actually let's look at a few verses in the same chapter
Isaiah 43: 18-19 (KJV) Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
God has done a new thing in our lives let's not be ignorant and fail to realize it! You are not the old you, Don't confuse me with the Jean de Dieu that you saw yesterday and I will not confuse you with the YOU that I knew then, We are all made new each morning the more we seek to please God the more we change to be like him. Yes the earthly/unbelievers may confuse you with the world, that is what happened when they crucified our Lord Jesus! Can you imagine nailing the Lord of Lords on the cross and let free Barabbas (the criminal)? They did not recognize the Prince of Peace, and they can hardly recognize you the New Creature. But I urgue you to know who you are in Christ and what you are here to do.I pray for all of you that God will help us wake up and serve the purpose of our creation, I am sure the Lord who started the good work in you will definitely bring it to completion.

Whose report will I believe?
We are to be glad and rejoice today for what the lord has done in our lives. The bible clearly tells us that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Romans 8:1.
Our enemy Satan as you is known for his daily accusations against us trying to convince us that we are sinners he accuses us to our own conscience and to make us fell condemned and not forgivable for the many sins that we have committed. He also does accuse us to our friends and fellow men that will occasionally turn against us and judge us as sinners who are terrible people and not forgivable.
Here is the good news, Jesus has carried all our sin, guilt and shame on the cross he paid it all and we are sin free, guilt free and shame free. You are acceptable lovely and a person of Great importance that God gave his son in exchange for your redemption.
Let us be glad and rejoice in the lord to day for what the lord has done.
YOU HOLD THE KEY.
You are the only one who holds the key to this truth, You can either let the devil play with your mind and convince you to believe in a lie or you can hold dear to the truth of the word of God and receive the free gift of God which is eternal salvation. This truth that I mentioned does not apply to you if you are not IN CHRIST JESUS and if you have not given him a place in your heart.
Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion. Hebrews 3:8
