Understanding My Purpose
Pastor Wesley & Yajhna Sing · 2 min read
“When I left for Macedonia, I urged you to stay there in Ephesus and stop those whose teaching is contrary to the truth. Don’t let them waste their time in endless discussion of myths and spiritual pedigrees. These things only lead to meaningless speculations, which don’t help people live a life of faith in God. The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith. But some people have missed this whole point. They have turned away from these things and spend their time in meaningless discussions. They want to be known as teachers of the law of Moses, but they don’t know what they are talking about, even though they speak so confidently.”
Paul’s instruction to Timothy was so clear and concise, he made him understand what he was called to do.
Stay in Ephesus
Stop those whose teaching were contrary to the truth
Stop them from endless useless discussions that did not profit anyone
The purpose is for them to be filled with the love of God
Love that comes from a pure heart
A clear conscience
Genuine faith
The same is true for each and every one of us. Our purpose is to come alongside people and let the love of God be so attractive to them, that they are compelled to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. When we win souls to Christ we continue with discipleship by using the above criteria to help us in our God given purpose. Developing people is part of our purpose in the kingdom of God. I encourage you, be all you can be and allow the Holy Spirit to make your calling and purpose clear and your joy will be full.
