YOUR PURPOSE IS VALID

I saw something in the Bible today that really touched me.

Let me share with you because I know it will help you too.

You see, I was studying Matthew chapter 3, where Jesus came to John the Baptist for Him to be baptised.

Before Jesus arrived at the scene, John had been telling people about Jesus saying,

"I baptize with water those who repent of their sins and turn to God. But someone is coming soon who is greater than I am—so much greater that I’m not worthy even to be his slave and carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire" [v11]

When Jesus got to the river and saw John, he asked to be baptised.

John recognised him and said, "I am the one who needs to be baptised by you.. so why are you coming to me?"

Jesus' answer is worth studying for months. He said, "It should be done, for we must carry out all that God requires" [v15].

Jesus was simply saying, "This is out of our hands, it has been ordained for you to baptise me. It's your purpose and I can't carry out my own purpose if you don't do yours".

WOW! Did you catch that?

Let me say that again! Your purpose is very valid! Your purpose is very significant and crucial.

From today, never ever look down on yourself or think your life does not count.

What God requires of you is the source of your significance and influence.

When you see people who appear greater and bigger than you, don't be intimidated.

Realise that they are in their calling and you just need to find yours and begin to live it.

We all are a part of God's big plan! We need each other to bring God's kingdom down on earth.

Don't let anyone look down on you. You matter.

Say to yourself, "I MATTER! MY PURPOSE IS VALID".

Say it loud and let the devil hear you!

HALLELUJAH! I feel like screaming! Do you feel me?!

I believe in you
