Why are we here? Part 1 ...

Do you ever wonder why you are here? Not on this blog (of course) but on this earth. Why were you created.

I am going to answer a gist of what I believe we were put here for. Of course the creator had specific roles and goals he wanted each of us to carry out. But beyond it all why are here?

First and foremost we are here to

1. Worship and praise the creator- Our very existence should always be about how we can bring glory to God. Everyday must be an opportunity for us to PRAISE and WORSHIP.  Not just on Sundays when we are surrounded by good music and like minded people.

As Paul urged the Corinthians to do in 1 Corinthians 10:31, praise must be a lifestyle. Praising must be more than asking Him for stuff and even preaching to others. Praising God comes first in all things.
It's funny how hard that can be as we're hardwired to see what Satan is doing and not see the beauty of God has already done.

If you have nothing to praise God for, praise Him for the fact you have life and hope and that you have His greatest gift…which is Jesus. With Him we can bear all things and become the very people God has created us to be. With Him we have hope for a better life both in this life and in the world to come.

2. We are here to HAVE FUN.

Yes we are here to enjoy our lives…to eat, drink and be merry! To PARTY... like a lot. Today all these activities have been perverted by the enemy and made christians feel bad for having fun or even wanting to have fun.  Christians have become the bearers of guilt, shame and grim. Christians can't simply laugh or have a sense of humor because Jesus might be mad at them and they might lose their salvation when in actual fact we ought to be the HAPPIEST people.

I am on a personal journey to GENUINELY have fun! There are so many ways this can happen without involving the enemy. This blog will mainly be about that and about my walk with God as a believer in nyc. God-willing, I will blog about the things I do that are (Christ approved yes all is permissible but not all things are edifying). So stay tuned!

3. We are here to a certain SPECIFIC and PARTICULAR role.

Yes as Christians we are filled with the spirit of God, skill, intelligence, knowledge and all we need to fulfill our particular goals. Christians more than any group of people should seek the guidance of God so as we know what we're doing and what we were brought to this earth to do. I will write more about this in a future post and elaborate on what i've learned about our DIVINE ASSIGNMENT.
Apart from the general ones like worshiping and praising God, being in close fellowship with him, bringing enjoyment and pleasure to the father, bringing others to the knowledge of Him….this is equally as important.
