What a great weekend we had. have you bother to ask yourself why are you here on this planet Earth?. What is the purpose of your existence. is it to marry, have children raise them and die. Is it to wake up in the morning rush out to the office come back late in the night day in day out, week in week out, month in month out, year in year out.

Class, if you have not ponder this question in your heart, it is high time you sit down. Think very well and come up with a reasonable answer on why you are here. That should be the basis of our education in the first instance and parent have a long way to go in identifying their children gifting and help mold them in the direction of their gifting so that they can flow and bless their generation with their gift.

Emerson will still guide us today and what does he have to say about our purpose:

“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, honorable, to be compassionate,
to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well… To know that even one
life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

You can find your purpose by being useful in some way or the other to the society where you live, to the people in your surrounding,to your nation by becoming valuable to the world with the gifting that you possess. Look deep into your being and come out with a gift, can you teach as I am doing please do it, Can you compose a song, or write a hymn, please go a head do so. Can you mix flower differently and come up with a great recipe please go a head, can you go to the nearest hospital and touch the sick with compassion please go head.

You don't need capital for all these all you need is passion to leave our world better than the way you find it. leave our world better than we find it. Do you know the following people leave the world better than they find it:

Mother Theresa She does not have any money, she does not have any power she just love street people of India. She left Scotland and spend the rest of her life in India. She lived, dined, with the poor of India.

Martin Luther King Jr The guy is just an ordinary Pastor of a local Baptist Church, but discovering that he is has the gift of speech he used it to liberate whole oppressed black American from the shackle of segregation. The guy has a dream that one day on the red clay of Georgia the children of the black and white will play together Today we have a BLACK man in a WHITE house.
