What is Our Purpose in Life?

I recently went to visit a bookstore who was doing an after Christmas Sale. I came across a track of a song from Bobbie Mason titled "I will be the one". I decided to read the words first before venturing on to listening to the song itself. And as I read the words, I said to myself "Wow! wouldn't it be great if all of us in my church would say this? I mean....say "We Will Be The One!"

Track 1 - Bobbie Mason


Here's the lyrics "I Will Be The One"

Who will be the first to lead the way
I/WE WILL BE THE ONE
Who will stand in the gap, who will watch and pray
I/WE WILL BE THE ONE
Who will walk with his brother in unity
Who will live by faith and integrity
Who will say to the Lord
"Here am I, send me"
I/WE WILL BE THE ONE.

Chorus:
I/We will be the one that God is looking for
I /We will never be ashame
In the name of the Lord
I'll/We'll stand and proclaim
Yes, I/We will be the one
Yes, I/We will be the one.

Like a city on a hill,who will shine the light
I/WE WILL BE THE ONE
In a world of darkness, who will hold it high
I/WE WILL BE THE ONE
Who will pray for revival all over the land
Who will seek God's forgiveness for all our sin.
Who will ask the Lord to touch with His Mighty hand
I/WE WILL BE THE ONE

Repeat Chorus

Who will call our nation to holiness
I/WE WILL BE THE ONE
Who will raise the standard of righteousness
I/WE WILL BE THE ONE
Who will trust in the Lord for the rest of their days
Who will give God the glory and all the praise
I/WE WILL BE THE ONE.

Repeat Chorus
(END)


The reason for our existence here on earth surely has a purpose. Just as Jesus came here on earth with a purpose. In our daily activities, are we showing in our ways, our words who Christ is in our lives? are we ready to defend the God whom we know and not be ashamed of Him?

As I listened to the words of this song I would like Jesus to continue giving me that strength to help me witness for Him that others may know Him too. People around the world are looking for a hope and I know that in Jesus we have hope in our lives. Will you do the same? Will you show who Jesus is in your life?

The scripture says that the harvest is plenty, but the workers are few. It takes a strong conviction and willingness to declare, Yes, Lord, send me.
May more of us declare, Yes, I will be the one. Yes Lord, send me.
Blessings?

If only the members of the body of Christ would stop being 'we', and unite to become 'I' in Jesus Christ, working together as a unit in love and exercising the same spirit in moral judgment, we would see the presence of the Power of the Holy Spirit manifested in such a way that it would shake the foundation of the world!

Blessings to you...
