It is a great thing that you followed through the 21 days bible reading of the Book of John. I believe that your soul has contacted great lights from the book of lights - the bible. I had an experience on the 21st day that prooves the validity of light that shines through the word of God. Almost four days ago, I discovered that my other phone was missing. I searched everywhere in my office but could not locate the phone.
I kept my peace, asked a few people but they claimed they did not see the phone. I called the phone several times but it was switched off. Some minutes to midnight yesterday, as I was having supper and preparing for this writeup, I sensed in my spiritman to go and call the phone again, immeditely, I went took my phone and dialed the number, wow!, the phone rang and a female voice said hello..... the phone has a little fault that makes it difficult for one to hear what is been said if not placed on speaker. So I sent a text message and the person on the other end replied with a message that claimed that she had given someone a lift and the person left the phone in her car. This God is great!.
He is a God that empowers our sensitivity, sharpens our skills and enhances our strenght. May you receive grace for prompt obedience to the instructions of the inner voice of God that directs in Jesus name.
From today we shall be gaining daily wisdom in our quest to Unleash Purpose and also read the book of Ezra, the next 10 days. Like Daniel, within the next ten days, your countenance shall become fairer.
UNLEASH PURPOSE
THE GREATEST TRAGEDY IN LIFE IS NOT DEATH, BUT LIFE WITHOUT A REASON.
• It is dangerous to be alive and not know why you were given life.
• One of the most frustrating experiences is to have time, but not know why.
• From the beginning of man's history as we know it, mankind has been grappling with the age-old questions:
• Why am I here? What is the reason for my existence? What is the meaning of my life? Is there a reason for the universe, the creation, and man?
These questions are universal. They lurk deep within the secret chambers of every human being on earth, regardless of race, colour, ethnic heritage, socioeconomic status, or nationality.
Philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, and others throughout the
ages have attempted to explore these seemingly illusive questions.
For the most part, their efforts have ended in more questions than answers.
The deepest craving of the human spirit is to find a sense of significance and relevance.
The search for relevance in life is the ultimate pursuit of man.
Conscious or unconscious, admitted or not, this internal passion is what motivates and drives every human being, ether directly or indirectly.
It directs his decisions, controls behaviour, and dictates his responses to his environment.
This need for significance is the cause of great tragedies.
Many suicides and attempted suicides owe their manifestation to this compelling need. Many mass murderers and serial killers confess the relationship of their antisocial behaviour to their need to feel important or to experience a sense of self-worth.
This passion for relevance and a sense of significance makes one race or ethnic group elevate itself above another. It also gives birth to prejudice and causes the fabrication of erroneous perceptions that result in grave injustices and the conception of abominable dreams and inhuman behaviour. It also gives birth to tyrants and dictators who easily sacrifice the sacredness of human life and dignity for a temporary sense of significance.
This desperate desire to feel important and relevant to one's existence also causes the sacrifice of common sense, good judgment, moral standards, and basic human values. Many individuals have sacrificed excellent reputations and years of character-building lifestyles for the sake of advancement to a desired position or a place of recognition and fame in the society or workplace so they could feel important worthwhile.
This passion for a sense of significance and meaning in life is also the fuel for most capitalist and progressive economies.
There are millions of individuals who sacrifice their families, friends, and convictions in the attempt to gain a sense of significance.
Accumulating status symbols and material possessions, they seek a position of importance and meaning.
In essence, this deep desire and drive for a sense of importance, significance, and relevance is the cause and the motivator of all human behaviour and conflict.
This passion for significance knows no boundaries. Rich and poor are victims of its power. King and peasant suffer under its rule. Is this passion for a meaningful life a negative craving? Absolutely not!
This yearning for relevance and significance is evidence of an internal vacuum in the nature of mankind that needs to be filled. This age-old passion is the pursuit of purpose, a relentless reaching for a reason for the gift of life.
