GOD DID NOT WASTE HIS TIME MAKING A NOBODY

GOD DID NOT WASTE HIS TIME MAKING A NOBODY

Man was designed for accomplishment. He was engineered for success. He was endowed with the seeds of greatness. God didn’t waste His time making a nobody. He created everyone in His own image. The devil puts the failure image into our hearts. If you are a nobody, you are a self-made or “devil-made” nobody. God didn’t make you that way. But in order to be the person God wants you to be, you must set some worthy goals for your life. Do you have worthy goals for your life? Goal-setting and success are so closely related, Webster says a goal is an aim or a purpose. Do you have an aim in life? Do you have a purpose in life? If so, then you have a goal. Webster further says that a goal is the end that a person intends to accomplish. Success is the satisfactory accomplishment of a goal.

Our God is a God of goals. Our God is a goal-setting God. Have you ever thought about this truth? The first purpose or aim God had after the creation of the physical world. He said, “Let us make man in our image” – Genesis 1:26. Not only does God set goals for Himself, but He also sets goals for others. In Acts 9:15, God told Saul of Tarsus that He was sending him to the Gentiles. He had a purpose for him. Jesus said, “My meat is to do the will of the Father who sent me” (John 4:34). Jesus also gave goals to others. In Matthew 28:19, 20, He said for us to “make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.”

Imagine a football match without the goalpost, how would the players play the game? The players are going to be frustrated.They know that without any goals they won’t know whether they are hitting or missing. They won’t know whether they are on target or off tar-get. They won’t know whether they are any better than the competition. It would be ridiculous to play without goals, wouldn’t it? That is how ridiculous it is for you to go through life playing the game of life without goals. You say, “I can play the game of life with-out any goals.” All right, tell me: What is the score? You couldn’t have football game without goals, could you? You can’t have a successful game of life without goals either.

What kind of goal do you have? It is important to have specific goals in the physical and material realms, but it is even more important to have them in the spiritual realm. Does Christ dwell in your heart? Does He rule and direct the affairs of your life? Do you aspire to be like Him? The greatest goal you can have in life is to seek to be like Christ. Ask yourself this question “Do I have a worthy goal for my life?” The first step toward successful and abundant living is to establish worthy goals for your life. Can you say with Paul, “. . . this one thing I do, . . .” (Philippians3:13).

Word Affirmation: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." - Philippians 4:13 (Don't just say it, mean it!)

“If you are a nobody, you are a self-made or “devil-made” nobody. God didn’t make you that way."
