*Topic:* BORN NOT BY ACCIDENT
*Read:* Jeremiah 1:1-5

*MEMORISE:* _Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations._ *(Jeremiah 1:5)*

*EXPOSITION*
Sometimes, when you face challenges of life, that are so hard and seem insurmountable, you may wish you have not been born into this world at all. It is even possible for you to face the situations of life, as if God has no purpose for your life before you were born. Whatever the situation of your life, or the condition you find yourself, the truth of the matter is that, there is no one born into this world without God's purpose for him/her to fulfil in life.

When God was revealing His purpose for prophet Jeremiah's life, He told him to forget about his present condition, but to direct his attention to the purpose He (God) has for his life. God first declared to Jeremiah that He knew him before he was formed in his mother's womb. This is God's attribute of omniscience. Our God is all-knowing God. He knows the end from the beginning. God knew you, He knew your name, skin colour and gender, before your two parents met each other. This is amazing! To cut it short, nothing is hidden to God about your life.

God had finally revealed His purpose for Jeremiah's life. God said, *_I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations_*. God declared the purpose why Jeremiah was born. Likewise, God has purpose for everybody. You, too, are not here on earth by accident. As a matter of fact, you were fearfully and wonderfully made *(Psalms 139:14)*. God created you for His own glory *(Isaiah 43:7)* and He has a specific purpose for your existence. Your personal responsibility is to find out God's original purpose for your life before it will be too late.

*PRAYER POINTS*
*1.* I refuse to live a life of no purpose, in Jesus name
*2.* God, help me and give me capacity to fulfil my purpose for living
*3.* Pray for God to energise all the down-trodden Christians to know that God has purpose for their lives.
