We're a hub for inspirational Christian sermons, practical keys for Christian living, and Christian discussions and interviews. You'll be inspired to live the life that you were created for. Your host is a top ranking podcaster, best selling author, world record holder, aerospace engineer, life coach, evangelist, and founder of John Gifta International.

0:44 Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. Now just a minute, just pass and this look around. Everything you see, whether it's the light, a fan, or if you're watching through a mobile or a computer. Everything you see, whether it's the television or your phone, everything as a purpose. Now I'm sitting on a child. My chure had as a purpose, my key has a purpose, my watch has a purpose. If everything that you can see, for the most part, everything made by man, If every single thing, like a chair or a light as a purpose, do you think for a moment that you've been created without a purpose?

1:34 No, do you think like, okay, if man puts in so much of effort, you would look at what is the purpose behind it? You will always say like, okay, what benefit will I get from making it? Will I get a profit or a loss? If it's not going to serve the purpose, They're all going to make it right, They will always look at profit. Do you think for a moment that God will create something without a profit? No. God created you because He has a plan for you. He has a purpose for you to sew. He has a call over your life that no one else has.

2:06 Only you, and only you, and only you can fulfill the purpose that God has for you. There is something very very specific. If the child that I'm sitting has a purpose, how much more you need to understand that you have a value because you have a purpose. A child was made by man, but you are made by the hand of God. Now, if one light just says okay, no, there's no point in me staying I don't find anything special about me, I don't have a purpose and stops working. Only when the light stops working, you lagely realize the value of the light.

2:43 Right, I've seen this several times. You know the minute a fan stops working, you realize, oh my goodness, I'm sweating. I really need a fan. 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 only when you realize, like, oh my goodness, just if it is cut off, you realize how much of a value it is. That's the way you have a value. You have a purpose. God didn't make a mistake in creating you. He has you in his mind even before the foundations of the world. And now a lot of people think that purpose means like, okay, I have to just serve some purpose, you know, like, let me, you live a purposeful life. I won't even understand. Very important to you.

3:32 You're living a purposeful life bringing meaning out of your life or is not the same as living the purpose of your life. I repeat it again, living a purposeful life is not the same as living the purpose of your life. Now what do I mean by that? How? I just got this newspaper. Okay, Now, this newspaper can be used for a variety of reasons. Okay, I can use it to clean something, I can use it to wrap something. I can use it to you 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, I can just use it to blow some towards myself. I can use the paper for a variety of purposes, right, And if I want to check if a pen is writing, I can use the paper and see if the pen is writing. You know, But you cannot deny the fact that the primary purpose for the paper is to tell you the news. Right. The newspaper is there to tell you the news. Now, if I use the paper for every other reason, like uh, you know, cleaning something or to wrap something, and if I don't use it to read the news, 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 the paper was designed, you're degrading that the very potential of the paper is being delimited just because you're not using it for what it was designed. Right. It can serve a multitude of purpose. But if it doesn't serve the purpose, then there's a problem. Same way you need to understand. You can try to fit in your purpose into your life and try to be a person of purpose to people, help someone, or encourage someone, or do some good deeds, or you know, you can do one hundred and twenty seven things and say, see, I've been helpful for people, I've had some meaning in my life.

5:46 I've done something of purpose. But in that case, what you're doing is like using the paper for everything else except for reading the news. You're getting what I'm saying. God has a specific purpose for you, like the new paper as a specific purpose to convey the news. You have a specific purpose that you have to fulfill. I hope you're getting what I'm saying. You don't try to just try to bring some meaning out of your life, but rather align yourself to the life of purpose that God wants to give you.

6:20 He has that for you. My purpose will be different from yours. My calling is different from yours. Now we say, okay, everybody is there are some people called to me teachers or whatever. Okay, a preacher or whatever. But even in that, a person's calling is different. How many times people put me into a mold? You know, look at this preacher, Look at that evangelists they are preaching like this, Look at the way you are preaching. But you know what my purpose or my call, my gift, my God given divine destiny is different from anybody else.

6:58 For that matter. I love what Benny Hin does. I love what Passenger Lostine is doing. I love what pastor TV Jacks are doing. But the point is, I'm not Benny Hin, I'm not Billy Graham, I'm not TV Jakes. I can learn from their life, but I have a purpose which is totally different from anybody else. That's the place I want you to go to. That's the place I want you to understand. You're not here to just okay. If you're a pastor of watching me, it's you're not here just because, Okay, I need to preach a sermons, or every other pastor in the world is preaching a sermon, and I let me go and do it.

7:32 No, what is God's purpose for you? What kind of a sermon are you called to preach? What kind of a minister are you? I hope you're getting what I'm saying or anything for that matter. You know, you can be a motivational speaker, or you can be a person who's on the radio. Just because your gift is speaking, you can use it for a variety of purposes. That doesn't mean you have to say, Okay today I'm a radio speaker, you know, a teacher, or whatever. You have to ask God, what is that specific role you want me to play?

8:08 God? Use that specific role and say, God, I align myself to du I want to align myself to the life of purpose, not just to bring purpose out of my life. And when you make that commitment, I'm telling you your life will go to another level. You don't have to please people or make them feel happy to accept you. You will be sure this is what God has called me to do. You've been listening to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta, we hope you were blessed and inspired to live the life that God has for you.
