0:12 take a break. This is Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. We're

0:17 a hub for inspirational Christian sermons, practical keys for Christian living, and Christian

0:24 discussions and interviews. You'll be inspired to live the life that you were created

0:29 for. Your host is a top ranking podcaster, best selling author, world

0:34 record holder, aerospace engineer, life coach, evangelist, and founder of John

0:39 Gifta International. Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. Now just

0:58 a minute, just pass and this look around. Everything you see, whether

1:03 it's the light, a fan, or if you're watching through a mobile or

1:07 a computer. Everything you see, whether it's the television or your phone,

1:11 everything as a purpose. Now I'm sitting on a child. My chure had

1:15 as a purpose, my key has a purpose, my watch has a purpose.

1:19 If everything that you can see, for the most part, everything made

1:23 by man, If every single thing, like a chair or a light as

1:27 a purpose, do you think for a moment that you've been created without a

1:33 purpose? No, do you think like, okay, if man puts in

1:38 so much of effort, you would look at what is the purpose behind it?

1:42 You will always say like, okay, what benefit will I get from

1:45 making it? Will I get a profit or a loss? If it's not

1:48 going to serve the purpose, They're all going to make it right, They

1:51 will always look at profit. Do you think for a moment that God will

1:55 create something without a profit? No. God created you because He has a

2:00 plan for you. He has a purpose for you to sew. He has

2:02 a call over your life that no one else has. Only you, and

2:07 only you, and only you can fulfill the purpose that God has for you.

2:13 There is something very very specific. If the child that I'm sitting has

2:17 a purpose, how much more you need to understand that you have a value

2:22 because you have a purpose. A child was made by man, but you

2:25 are made by the hand of God. Now, if one light just says

2:30 okay, no, there's no point in me staying I don't find anything special

2:36 about me, I don't have a purpose and stops working. Only when the

2:39 light stops working, you lagely realize the value of the light. Right,

2:45 I've seen this several times. You know the minute a fan stops working,

2:49 you realize, oh my goodness, I'm sweating. I really need a fan.

2:52 That's when you really realize the value of the fan, kennethal is something.

2:57 You have a purpose, You have a value. You get your value

3:01 only when you realize, like, oh my goodness, just if it is

3:07 cut off, you realize how much of a value it is. That's the

3:10 way you have a value. You have a purpose. God didn't make a

3:15 mistake in creating you. He has you in his mind even before the foundations

3:20 of the world. And now a lot of people think that purpose means like,

3:24 okay, I have to just serve some purpose, you know, like,

3:28 let me, you live a purposeful life. I won't even understand.

3:30 Very important to you. You're living a purposeful life bringing meaning out of your

3:38 life or is not the same as living the purpose of your life. I

3:45 repeat it again, living a purposeful life is not the same as living the

3:52 purpose of your life. Now what do I mean by that? How?

3:58 I just got this newspaper. Okay, Now, this newspaper can be used

4:03 for a variety of reasons. Okay, I can use it to clean something,

4:09 I can use it to wrap something. I can use it to you

4:13 know, do something creative like a paper boat or a paper plane or something.

4:18 I can use the paper, you know, if I feel hot,

4:21 I can just use it to blow some towards myself. I can use the

4:26 paper for a variety of purposes, right, And if I want to check

4:30 if a pen is writing, I can use the paper and see if the

4:33 pen is writing. You know, But you cannot deny the fact that the

4:38 primary purpose for the paper is to tell you the news. Right. The

4:44 newspaper is there to tell you the news. Now, if I use the

4:47 paper for every other reason, like uh, you know, cleaning something or

4:53 to wrap something, and if I don't use it to read the news,

4:57 then I'm degrading the very essence of the design for which the paper was designed.

5:04 I hope you're getting what I'm saying right, For the very reason why

5:09 the paper was designed, you're degrading that the very potential of the paper is

5:13 being delimited just because you're not using it for what it was designed. Right.

5:20 It can serve a multitude of purpose. But if it doesn't serve the

5:25 purpose, then there's a problem. Same way you need to understand. You

5:30 can try to fit in your purpose into your life and try to be a

5:33 person of purpose to people, help someone, or encourage someone, or do

5:38 some good deeds, or you know, you can do one hundred and twenty

5:42 seven things and say, see, I've been helpful for people, I've had

5:45 some meaning in my life. I've done something of purpose. But in that

5:48 case, what you're doing is like using the paper for everything else except for

5:53 reading the news. You're getting what I'm saying. God has a specific purpose

5:58 for you, like the new paper as a specific purpose to convey the news.

6:02 You have a specific purpose that you have to fulfill. I hope you're

6:08 getting what I'm saying. You don't try to just try to bring some meaning

6:12 out of your life, but rather align yourself to the life of purpose that

6:17 God wants to give you. He has that for you. My purpose will

6:23 be different from yours. My calling is different from yours. Now we say,

6:28 okay, everybody is there are some people called to me teachers or whatever.

6:32 Okay, a preacher or whatever. But even in that, a person's

6:36 calling is different. How many times people put me into a mold? You

6:42 know, look at this preacher, Look at that evangelists they are preaching like

6:45 this, Look at the way you are preaching. But you know what my

6:48 purpose or my call, my gift, my God given divine destiny is different

6:57 from anybody else. For that matter. I love what Benny Hin does.

7:01 I love what Passenger Lostine is doing. I love what pastor TV Jacks are

7:05 doing. But the point is, I'm not Benny Hin, I'm not Billy

7:09 Graham, I'm not TV Jakes. I can learn from their life, but

7:13 I have a purpose which is totally different from anybody else. That's the place

7:18 I want you to go to. That's the place I want you to understand.

7:21 You're not here to just okay. If you're a pastor of watching me,

7:26 it's you're not here just because, Okay, I need to preach a

7:28 sermons, or every other pastor in the world is preaching a sermon, and

7:30 I let me go and do it. No, what is God's purpose for

7:35 you? What kind of a sermon are you called to preach? What kind

7:40 of a minister are you? I hope you're getting what I'm saying or anything

7:45 for that matter. You know, you can be a motivational speaker, or

7:49 you can be a person who's on the radio. Just because your gift is

7:54 speaking, you can use it for a variety of purposes. That doesn't mean

7:57 you have to say, Okay today I'm a radio speaker, you know,

8:01 a teacher, or whatever. You have to ask God, what is that

8:05 specific role you want me to play? God? Use that specific role and

8:11 say, God, I align myself to du I want to align myself to

8:16 the life of purpose, not just to bring purpose out of my life.

8:20 And when you make that commitment, I'm telling you your life will go to

8:24 another level. You don't have to please people or make them feel happy to

8:28 accept you. You will be sure this is what God has called me to

8:33 do. You've been listening to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta, we

8:41 hope you were blessed and inspired to live the life that God has for you.

9:48 Now, do you know where you're going? And this is not a message

9:52 of condemnation. This is a message of whop. That is a God who

9:56 loves you so much he sent his only son, Jesus Christ to come down

10:05 and pay a heavy price by shedding every drop of his blood on the cross.

10:09 Thank you for dying for my sins. When you believe in Him,

10:13 you have free gift or salvation for you that it shows us that we will

10:18 go to heaven when we die instead of suffering in hell forever. I just

10:24 encourage you today to make the simple step of fate and say, Jesus,

10:28 I thank you for what you did on the cross. Thank you for giving

10:31 me this gift of eternal life.
