Do u know your purpose on earth?Do you know why God created a beautiful human being like you?If you do,are you living up to that purpose?Have you dedicated you life to serve and glorify him?

Sometimes i get mad at God for making life so complicated! Or even for allowing things to be this way!!!!! That's if he exists anyways! Every human has an opinion, to the extent they begin seeking their purpose on earth!!!! Maybe your purpose is just to eat, fart and die! did that ever occur to you awon oloshi!!!!!

HERES MY ANSWER FROM A PREVIOUS QUESTION WITH THE SAME PREMISE

ITS A GOOD QUESTION AND LOGICALLY LIFE SEEMS LIKE A POINTLESS CYCLE. BUT GUESS WHAT ? YOU ARE PART OF IT SO ALL YOU CAN DO IS KILL YOURSELF EVERYTIME YOU POP UP INTO THE WORLD SEEING AS IT IS POINTLESS. ( ME BEING SARCASTIC BECAUSE THE GUY SAID LIFE WAS POINTLESS ) SERIOUSLY THOUGH THE PURPOSE OF IT IS TO FEEL, TO EAT, TO DRINK, TO LOVE, TO EXIST PHYSICALLY ( BOOK OF ECCLESIASTES ). WE ARE SPIRITUAL BEINGS HAVING A PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE. ENJOY YOUR DRINK. ENJOY YOUR FOOD. ENJOY YOUR PASSIONS BE IT READING NOVELS OR SPORTS ETC ETC. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU ARE HERE TO CREATE HEAVEN ON EARTH BY LIVING PEACEABLY WITH ALL MEN WHILE SYNCED WITH GOD.

I think the purpose of life is to be happy and useful.

Think of all the numerous things done by people that have make our lives easy, aeroplane, computers, phones etc I may consider those things as part of their purpose which God has deposited in them. All you need do is to look within yourself and search out your own gift that can add value to other people out there. It is only is this you can be truly happy and feel complete and satisfied. Thats my take

Yes, he created me to touch pples life with my kind hrt.
To lift up a dying and broken spirit with my kind words.
To share my time, love and money, with those dat nids it.
To put a smile on pples faces.
To offer my shoulder for pple to lean on in tym of their trouble. Etc.

And am a member of a CHARITABLE GROUP, because i knw its my purpose in life, its why my God created me. It gives me joy, being the reason for pples happiness.

​♍Ɣ purpose on earth is to give God pleasure (Revelation 4vs11) by doing what what he has commanded me to do in the Bible and RHEMA given to me. You cannot know and fulfill God's purpose for your life without a closed relationship with Him.

The purpose of a black christian man or woman is to serve the white people. That is why white people want every black african become a christian.

[size=18pt] First and foremost, if you don't have any personal relationship with God in truth and in spirit, you are wasting your time in lip service and eye service of church goers.
And you cannot have any personal relationship with God without the Holy Spirit.
Majority of those claiming to be "Christians" in Nigeria have no experience with the Holy Spirit, that is why they are not living purpose driven life of a true Christian led by God.

As Jesus Christ said:

15. Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.

16. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?

17. Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

18. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.

19. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

20. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.


~ Matthew 7:15-20 (New International Version)

You must define your true character as a Christian before you can then live the purpose driven life of a Christian by God.
Nigeria is in the rot she is today, because majority of Nigerians are rotten as well.
We are what we do.
Nigeria is what Nigerians are.

We cannot plan and plot evil and wickedness in our greediness and selfishness against our fellow humans and still claim to be Christians.[/size]

I think the purpose of our existence is help others when we can. Human beings are God's treasures, if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

[size=13pt]"There is no blackboard in the sky on which God has written your purpose, your mission in life. There's no blackboard in the sky that says, "Neale Donald Walsch. Handsome guy who lived in the first part of the twenty-first century, who .. ."And then there's a blank. And all I have to do to really understand what I'm doing here, why I'm here, is to find that blackboard and find out what God really has in mind for me. But the blackboard doesn't exist.

So your purpose is what you say it is. Your mission is the mission you give yourself Your life will be what you create it as, and no one will stand in judgment of it, now or ever."- Neale Donald Walsch



I actually got that from the movie the secret,I dont know what to make of Neale Donald Walsch quote,serioudly I am still pondering on it
