“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.” John 18:37 (KJV)*
Bible passage : Phil 3: 12-14 KJV
LESSON INTRODUCTION :
In the previous lesson we discovered that the Purpose of living for the natural man is for Himself ( Luke 12:15), While the purposes of living for the regenerated Man is to live for Christ ( II Cor 5:15). lt is Important to know that God does not waste resources. Hence, everything He created is for a purpose . The Sun gives light and never Ceases to shine (psalm 136:7-9), the Cloud gives rain in due season and trees provide food and shade accordingly ( Lev 26: 4 ). Other animals play their parts without hesitation. Amazingly, Man Struggles to understand and fulfil his purpose for living. The discovery, as well as fulfillment of divine purpose, is the focus of today’s lesson. LESSON OUTLINES LESSON OUTLINE 1 : DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE LESSON OUTLINE 2: LIVE TO FULFILL IT

What are those things you exceptionally have flare or Zeal for, and do often and often, build Your Vocation or career on Such things.

stcool: Let thunder fire Stephanie...MAMA we have heard but let the law take its course.
She would end up in prison like Aunty Kemi, Freeze is next in line.Can you believe the mofo blocked me after I told him how stupid he sounds. As if he is of any good to me. G.O.A.T
That freeze diss everybody but he himself couldn't take criticism. A Hypocrite and a keyboard terrorist
dutch4u: See ur life, did i complained here that i was scammed? Read your own post and digest it if it didn't contain insultive words. The way u too reacted also showed the way you are brought up. Continue your barking, i don't have ur time
dutch4u: I can now observe that your IQ is still low upon all the years that you spent probably wasted at school. When will you back on track now? I cannot blame u, this recession is still affecting ur brain. Are you forced to join? Every biz is a risk. Why can't u mind ur own biz?
Focus your anger on those that scam your lobotomised self not. Why are you aggressive at me? So you have IQ yet you can't make your point without insult? This speak more about your upbringing. Sorry Bro life is not easy even for fools
dutch4u: If you like, continue to argue till next year that GHWW has crashed. That doesn't stop we faithful participant to move with our mission. Many of you are calling us lazy people? I clap you, do you think that this program is meant for under age and pple like you? Continue your foolishness, and we comtinue to grow our money. If you are a real participant of GHWW, you will know that it is not for childish pple. Many pple have their own job including me that are fetching them money apart from GHWW, so why are you saying we are lazy people? Go and hire many people as you can to open multiple fake account, it is you that will waste your time and energy, GHWW has already moved. If you like, join the moving train if you like continue your propaganda. Only God knows the time we black especially Nigerians will move forward with their selfish attitude. Plz you don't need to advise anyone on how he or she spend his or her money. We are all matured, so face your bizness
Keep on deceiving yourself and the gullible. How many people has Robert Kiyosaki met in the real life situation? How many of his belief system has worked in Africa? You just allow one silly desperate author to mislead you to foolishness. Kiyosaki only want to sell books and nothing more. Fact is all Ponzi schemes are fraud nothing more. Rob Peter Paul and James then crash the system.
Silly post to confuse people. A doctor committed suicide but a nurse come online and said no I did not commit suicide. Hungry bloggers be like he's alive.
easzypeaszy: One of the good achievement of this government is the Npower program that has provided semi-employment to most hopeless unemployed Nigeria graduates. At least it has 1. saved many guys life(you have where you wake up and go to). 2. Reduced the number of scammers(most guys are engage now so they don't patronise silly job post). 3. Saved many from hopeless employers make i no start mention organizations.
BUT THEN WHY DO I NEED TO WITHDRAW MY APPLICATION? Ahhh hmmmmm my padi dem.. The Npower will I say tried but flop in many areas like; 1. Dose who went for the Npower verification and at the end claimed they did not show up. 2. Dose that were verified and not receiving the stipend and they claimed they gave invalid information ( see matter..u wan kw me pass me ni). 3. They don't reply mail, text or pick calls. 4. They allow all applicants both the disqualified and qualified to still login. 5. You get update even after being disqualified. I happened to be among the unlucky ones that they claimed submitted invalid information in which we have updated our profile times without number. Plus the initial gragra activities like going to the school to teach but still hoping on hopeless hope.
BUT CANT YOU JUST KEEP CALM AND WAIT..YOU NOT THE ONLY ONE AND THEY WILL SURELY PAY YOU. Storyyy....with all the different news everyday..am even afraid..the fear of tomorrow the fear that when i apply for other jobs will I be shortlisted? Example is the FCSC rumor that no Npower participants was or will be shortlisted.. Abeg Oga VP I no fit shout..am not getting the stipends and am not getting shortlist.
Please create a link where anyone that need or want to withdraw their applications can do so.
How many jobs have you applied for how many have you gotten, then how many did you withdraw your application from? Stop being a bad looser if you are not interested just leave it and stop this disgrunted element things
I remember the day Fulani herdsmen attacked Yorubas in Oyo state, one Alabiabia descendant said "I swear they can't try this in Aba and Onitsha." Lwtmb that day
Clowns have been beating their dry chests since Nico Mbarga sang sweet mother . If there's anything you have to give props to Ipob clowns for, it is their ability to provide Nairalanders with Grade A comedy
Ipork clowns on the keyboard 24-7 fighting Yorubas like...
BetaThings: But we both know Christians cannot tell the truth. Did I lie when I say you guys are abusive
Who removed the president
Sarah Palin told a church gathering the Iraq was a mission from God and that led to the crisis in Iraq Don't you know? You lie so much that when you are facing facts, you refuse to believe
That is not the issue - you accuse of Muslims wishing to kill you, we don't say the same about you So if your accusation is true, why do you go? Either they are not killing you guys and infact welcome you or you are going their willingly to die Which is it?
It is very difficult to reason with you So the tales about Abraham, Noah, Solomon etc told in church today are incorrect? Or are the people telling us eye witnesses? Please who did this to you
And what are you doing with yours?
Accusations and accusations without any proof yet you claim Christians are Liars OK continue. If there's any Liar it is the Muslims as fey distort every story in the Bible to drive home their point. Claiming that Christians are Liars while you copied biblical stories and distort or then call what gas been on ground for ages before Mohammed was lie? Keep the deception game on.
maidaddy: Horror Story - I bought chicken and chips at sweet sensation, I wanted to be alone when eating it so I took a bike. I was thinking of how I will murder the chicken and chips when the pack fell from my hand, I begged the bikeman to stop so I can go pick my package, as I was about coming off the bike, a danfo sped by and crushed my chicken and chips.
