Hey everyone I’m Pastor Gary Hoban and welcome to season 2 episode 8 of Refinery Life TV.
Our goal here is to release a 2-3 minute video / Podcast each day, designed to challenge you and get you to spend more time with God.
Today we are going to talk about, You Are Unique.
Jeremiah 29:11 (ESV)
11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare[a] and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Have you ever thought about everything that has led you to this moment right now in your life?
Why you are here on this earth?, how you have become who you are? What caused you to watch this video or listen to this podcast? Or what has caused you to seek God’s plans for your life?
Have you ever considered how much of it is random and how much has been designed?
I believe that God knew exactly where you would be right now, and exactly what you would be like.
He knew the platform you would have and the passions and gifts you possess.
I believe that He was purposeful in designing your life.
He made you to be significant and unique, and to have an eternal impact on the world around you.
Just let that sink in for a moment.
How differently would you live, if you really believed that God had intentionally designed you to have an impact on others?
What steps of faith would you take if you knew that He had already planned them?
What would you try and do if you knew and understood that God was fully backing you?
Would you make a plan to do big things in your community?
Would you go into local schools with a sense of authority and mission?
What problems that seem impossible would all of a sudden be possible to solve?
When you realise that you were designed with a purpose, you will live with a purpose.
I understand that we all have areas we need to improve in, and just because we believe God designed us doesn’t mean we know what we were designed for.
But God is a gracious God, He knows we will fall short, He knows that finding His will for our lives is a process.
We will make mistakes along the way.
Grace isn’t an excuse to give less than our best, but it is reassuring to know that God doesn’t pressure us to be perfect.
When we fall, we can get up, dust ourselves off, and keep moving towards the goal.
Whatever our past looks like, God has future plans for us.
And His plans are always good.
Don’t be scared to try big things that fit into God’s purpose.
No problem is too big for Him to solve, it doesn’t matter if it’s in the lives of people around us, something on a national level, or even global, and anything in between.
That means no problem is too big for us to attempt to solve in His strength.
We were designed for a purpose like this.
Until Tomorrow
Stay in the Blessings
