Born with a purpose!
This day like everyone someone is celebrating his birth. A man I knew was born today! He was born to a poor family, poor not because they are lazy but because they were abandoned! He was born in the family of 5. The only boy who grew up without the touch of his father! His mother was a hardworking woman in spite of being totally deaf as a result of physical abuse from her husband.
The boy grew up, living with different kin who showed kindness until they were united with his two sisters and mother when he was 12 years old. The boy and his sisters faced and overcame all odds, doing everything they could to live. He grow up though in hate of his own father. And by it he was involved in different kind of criminal activities together with his peers. He took up college degree just to find a valid opportunity to kill his own father. But, at age 20, this boy who is now a man, found the Lord Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, through a ministry whose passion is to see people saved and transformed, and everything begun to change in him! He immediately become involved in the ministry, as a maintenance person, fixing and cleaning their worship places and carry things that his pastor would require. This man learned to love God and people, hatred to his father was replaced by compassion and longing. He was called by God to be a pastor, an incredible thing for him to become, because he knows he does not know the how of it! But He who called him is faithful! God brought to many experiences that cause him to see God’s faithfulness and goodness. He was assigned in many pioneering assignment in different island and location of his country and is now presently assign in other country! He was able to established 30 churches to this date! An exciting blessing is that he got married to a kind, God loving and very beautiful lady who joined him in serving God. They were blessed too with three handsome and dynamic sons!
Today, that man turns 44 years old! Not poor anymore, but blessed more than he deserved for God has blessed Him according to His faithfulness! He learned that in this life God has a purpose in everything, a calling to every one! And only in placing our confidence in Him, we can begin our journey in this life with in that purpose of God. Even, the most excruciating suffering is there in our life for our good, according to His will! Well, he has brought us here to live and know there is God!
You have your own story which is made for His glory!
