“But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness … “
Acts 26:16(KJV)
It has been said that the saddest thing that could ever happen to anybody is to discover what you could have been.
The guy that goes to hell remembers that he could have been born again, the man goes to heaven remembers that he could have lived a better life. Do not be one of those who live as though God's purpose is not important to them, forgetting that purpose will bring you those things which others seek for.
God did not make you to pursue things. He made things to pursue you. Just pursue God's purpose, pursue God's will, and all other things will pursue you. (Matthew 6:33)
Some people do not see any reason why they should pray, they just wake up in the morning, mutter a short prayer, and then go about their day. Some don't even pray at all. But if they had an exam, some of them will even read all night. Yet, their destiny, the real exam of life that they have, they do not spend time to pray about it.
If you believe fulfilling your destiny is important to you, You will go after it with all your heart. This is because at the end of your life in this world, if you lived outside God's plan, it is as though you never lived. You will go to heaven if you have believed in Jesus, but you will have no reward. (1 Corinthians 3:13-15)
Pa Elton was the name of the man that raised many of the big men of God in our country at a particular time. When he first came to Nigeria, he started building orphanages and hospitals. Then as he was getting older in years, God made him know that, He sent him to Nigeria to raise men. So he handed over all his orphanages and hospitals to different people and he started raising men.
When he aligned to God's plan, he was able to fulfill God's plan for his life and he raised men for the Lord. By so doing he influenced the future of Nigerian Christianity.
