Today is December 25th, the long-awaited Christmas day. A day where everyone rejoices and celebrate in unison. There had not been any day like this where the whole world, whether Greek or Jew, white or black, Muslim or Christian, celebrate in unity. Indeed, this must be a special day.
The world as we know enjoy
celebration even in the midst of suffering, greed, poverty, lack and high
political and economic tension. On a day like this virtually everyone pretends
all is well just to have a full grasp of the day.
Yes. All is well but is all
really well?
On a day like this, I spend more
time resonating about the 358days which has gone by. I realised that I have
lost many friends, made new friends, attended funerals, attended naming
ceremonies. I have seen terrible accidents and I have even been involved in
some. But yet I am standing. Oh, I didn’t die? Yea. But why didn’t I die? Am I better
than those who died or lost one part of their body? The answer is No!
Life is all about purpose. The
reason for Christmas is because a Man named Jesus came to earth to fulfil the
purpose of salvation and he fulfilled it perfectly. So we are celebrating Him
years after years. I define Christmas as a celebration of a fulfilled purpose! May
I ask this question? If you were to die today, would people celebrate you for fulfilling
purpose? Would people say you lived a fulfilled life? Are you just busy waking
up in the morning rushing to the office as early as 5am and getting home as
late as 9pm? Or are you busy getting certifications for your selfish
consumption?
Life is all about fulfilling purpose.
I define Purpose as a thread that links human destinies together. When you do
your part well, it makes the other person’s destiny become stable and well
inclined. Over time, I have realised that we are all interconnected. This has
made me watch every word I say, every action I take,and every move I make. You think,
you are an island? Not at all. We all need each other. A failure in fulfilling one’s
purpose is a disadvantage to the next person. Just like a parent’s failure in
raising up a kid well is a bane to the society and to the world at large so
also is your lackadaisical attitude to humanity when you do not fulfill destiny.
Christmas is a day when we all
must ruminate about our purpose. Praise God I know mine. Do you know yours?
Discover it today. The world must celebrate you. Albert Einstein found his,
Steven Hawkings also, Pastor E. A Adeboye as well, just to mention a few: these
are men whose death have and will touch the world!
Discovering purpose involves you
going back to your maker. Repent of your sins, reconcile yourself to God. It is
only the manufacturer that knows the full capacity of his machine! Stop living
a low version of the real you. Wake, talk to your maker He is willing and ready
to hear you. Talk to him this Christmas.
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and
mighty things, which thou knowest not- Jeremiah 33:3
