*“… the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me. But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.” Acts 20:23-24*

Every Christian is assigned a special purpose within the scheme of God’s plan. There is greater joy when you recognize it, adjust to it and set out to pursue and fulfil it in the power of the Holy Spirit.

However, along with your determination to fulfil God’s purpose comes trials, tribulations, persecutions and oppositions. But all these are insignificant when your focused is set on Jesus and His assigned purpose for your life.

With your eyes set on Jesus and your resolve to finish your race come inner joy, strength, divine courage and resilience to forge ahead regardless of the internal and external pressure. I pray the Lord help you to always keep your eyes fixed on Him and His purpose for your life that you may fulfill it and receive your eternal reward at the end of the race. Good morning.
