TODAY’S TOPIC: Living purposeful life
Text: John 12:23-28 (NIV):
"12:23. Jesus replied, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
12:24. I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
12:25. The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
12:26. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.
12:27. "Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.
12:28. Father, glorify your name!" Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again."
SHOWER (Reflection):
Our Lord Jesus Christ maintained the reason for His coming. Even when it was time for His death, there was a temptation or distraction which made Him ask God if the cup can pass Him by but was told that it is through it that God will be glorified. Brethren, this appeals to us to always seek the face of God in all circumstances with a view to understanding why we are where we are. God has a great reason for creating you big or small, in poor or rich home, in one unknown or renowned village, etc. Discover this purpose and use it to glorify His name. Do not allow the love or lust of the fresh to deny you the crown. Think of what would have happened to us if Jesus had decided not to die on the cross again. Then, you will discover what people could be passing through because of your refusal to do the works of God.
