There are alot of sad words crawling around especially from the mouths
of many youths today. The best confession you can hear from many is that "life
is hard!" , some "I can't do it!", some
"Am not from rich family can't take that opportunity!", some
" It's impossible for someone like me to do this!", some "Am
useless no one will ever consider me!". Well, let me tell you
something very profound teenagers. In this world you are going to position
yourself in two ways, either by how God wants you to live or by how human
beings wants you to live. Every thought we think, every feeling we feel
and every action we take and the results we will receive will base on these two
insights. Let's take a look.
HUMAN INSIGHT
According to research i made, i have discovered that 99% of the youths today live in the expectations of others and 1% live in original plan of their lives. It's a nature of human being to think they know you better than you know yourself and they will try to convince you in any way possible to agree with their imposed judgements in your life. And if you are foolish enough, you will work with them to draw a fine line of limitation in your destiny. Do you know why people feel no sense of self worthy?!..it's because most of them live to impress others who really don't even care about them, some even accept humiliation just to get cheap recognitions. Always human beings will judge you according to your enviroment or situation you are going through such as poor life, poor family background, poor performance record in education,poor finances. From all these circumstances some will say " you are useless better die", some will whisper to you in a poisonous tone "it's impossible"..And this trap seemed to work for most teenagers today, that's why many have lost hope in their lives, dreams and studies simply because they are projection of other people's point of view, . In life no one finds the meaning of his life if he looks and live on how people look at him. Between you and your destiny there is a paradigm you are soaked in. Human beings are unsatisfied creatures, nothing you will do that will impress them,one thing they care is their fulfilments. But there is someone who made you and wants you to discover something very deep about you and that's GOD.
GOD INSIGHT
"Your not an accident!!"
For you to be born was not an accident and your life is not a result of accident. Your parents may have not planned for you to come but God did. God is not suprised for you to be in this world because he knew you were coming. God ordered every part of your body to be made perfectly. He purposely chose your nationality, he chose your colour, also he chose where you should be born. I want to show you the three greatest discoveries on how God looks at you .
FIRST DISCOVERY ABOUT YOU--> Psalms 139: 13-17....."
13For thou didst form my inward parts:
Thou didst cover me in my mother’s womb.
14I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and
wonderfully made:
Wonderful are thy works;
And that my soul knoweth right well.
15My frame was not hidden from thee,
When I was made in secret,
[And] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance;
And in thy book they were all written,
[Even] the days that were ordained [for me],
When as yet there was none of them.
17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!"...
It's a discovery each one of us must make if we are going to live life of meaningfulness and the way we look at our selves will be right. David made a profound discovery in his life and when you summarize in two sentences david said " i am special creation of God". He is very confident that , he is made special by God, also he describes himself as "fearful made". Fearful doesn't mean terror but means wonderful, so if God made you special you can't call yourself ordinary and you can't allow anyone to call you common or useless. Also he says " he is skillful made" which means that God made him with special attention. No matter who we are when we look at ourselves there is something we don't like about us may be we don't like they way we look, we don't like our faces, our background, our family life,where we stay but bible says the one who made you did it with skills. Also david made another discovery that God has a clear purpose for his life. So not only are we special created of God but also he says that he has purpose for our lives . God has you in mind it's important if you want the life to take new meaning in you. You are not here to live your life as it comes or how people want you to live, you are here because God has a plan for you.
SECOND DISCOVERY ABOUT YOU--> Jeremiah 1:4-5..
"4Now the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 5Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee; I have appointed thee a prophet unto the nations!!".
Jeremiah was a young man when God chose him to be prophet of nations, and he described himself as a child, physically, but he didn't mean that, what he meant was that he was inexperienced. He was a young man when he received a call of God because he was called to do bid things, so what do you find about in this scriptures
a)Not only God specially made you, but he goes beyond your birth. He knew you before you were born. Most of the time you will hear people saying that God made them special so they don't want to be like someone else. But the reality is most of them don't believe it. But God says to you , what is happening today didn't start today before you were born, God knew you. That means your life didn't start as a cell or a clot of blood , we begun life "as a thought in God's mind". That's where life begun. Before there is anything there is a thought , and is the thought that necessities the cell coming in together. God started with you in his mind. That is an important evidence you should collect in your life because if it was left for your parents to determine your coming into the world probably you wouldn't even exist but we begun as a thought in God's mind. So this is where your origin comes from.."GOD", don't let no one define you, because as close as they think the know you, they don't have even have a slightest clue about you, is only God who made you, knows your reasons for existence on earth. If you settle life this way, you wouldn't stick around and try to live life of self criticism, living in the expectations of others. You are here because God thought of you and if God thought of you, he had a specific idea of who you were supposed to be and what you are supposed to do on the earth
b)Second thing you realize from these scriptures is that God set you apart each one of us for special mission which means however much you disvalue yourself one thing you must know is you are here for the purpose, and if so your life has a meaning more than people look or even think about you , because God invested much in you.
THIRD DISCOVERY ABOUT YOU--> Galatians 1:15-16..
15But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, [even] from my mother’s womb, and called me through his grace, 16to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; straightway I conferred not with flesh and blood:
Paul tells us that God is actually the one that who separated us from this world which means you are a unique version of your own, no one will be like you and even when you are gone no one will come after you who will be like you. You are not here by accident. And paul says God reveals to us what he has called us to be. You may not be a preacher like paul but what i want you to know is that God looks at your life and whatever you are passing through from different point of view.
"Is one thing to be alive and another thing to be alive and know why you are alive. Because if you don't know why you alive you are going to let everyone to define, despise and use at their advantage. Be wise and live by God's insight it's a real compass direction for your future. "
