So, the other night my husband and I were reviewing a document in MS Word on his laptop. He kept using a particular shortcut that I didn't know. It made what he was doing a lot faster than the way I would have done it. So I asked him how and it happened to be the use of one of the 'function keys'. I've been using a laptop for years and working with MS Word for even longer but I had no idea such a shortcut exists. (I won't share the shortcut so I don't expose my ignorance #wink#. It's selfish, I know :D)
Also, I got to know of a particular button on the TV remote control that makes life easier when navigating back to the previous channel I was watching, thanks to my one-year old daughter who changes the channels at will. It's the "back" button! Just like the MS Word, I've been using this same control for quite some time and I had no idea such a button was on it talk more of knowing the function. This is largely cos I never read the manual! Before my husband showed me the button (yet again, I know... He's a smart man lol), I would always punch the number of the previous channel in order to get back to it and that was laborious cos I used to get the number wrong more often than not. The painful part is such a time could be the climax of a particular scene :( But now, I simply press the "back" button! Although the button was there all the while, I was ignorant of it's function.
Same applies to us as human beings. I am convinced that no one appeared on the scene here by mistake or just to add to the numbers. I believe God had a reason for sending you to planet earth. The question is "do you know the reason?" Normally, to know the use of a thing, you don't ask the thing, you'd ask the manufacturer and the intention of the manufacturer for creating the product/ instructions on how to maximise the product are spelt out in the MANUAL.
So if you haven't discovered why you appeared here, I invite you to ask your manufacturer - God! I'm sure when you ask, he will answer and you'll be pleasantly surprised. Dr. Myles Munroe says "where purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable". Don't abnormally use (abuse) your life on things that don't count. Find your purpose in God. The beautiful thing is we have an advantage over inanimate products like my remote control. We can not only refer to the manual, which is the Holy Bible, we can ask the manufacturer Himself. For you to have the boldness to do that though, you need to be Born Again- believe in Jesus Christ and confess him as your Lord and Saviour AND also making up your mind to forsake your old ways. If you haven't done that, just talk to God now. You could choose to say the following prayer:
"Dear God, I come to you today. I believe Jesus died for my sins and I confess Him as my Lord and Saviour. Forgive me my past sins and write my name in the book of Life. Thank you for I am Born-Again. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."
He's waiting...
Go on and fulfill destiny, champ!
God bless you.
