Discover your purpose in Life

Todays scripture

PSALM 139 : 13-14

Todays Word from Pastor Tupelo

Our God is a God of purpose.

Everything he has created, He created it to serve a particular function here on earth.

Every person on the face of the earth has a purpose that nobody else can fulfill.

You ought to ask yourself what is the reason for my existence?

You are not just taking up space, neither are you just a biological consequence, you are here for a reason.

God has a plan for your life and you have to discover that plan so that you can align yourself towards it. Jeremiah 29:11

Have you ever thought about the fact that you did not influence your existence on this earth? You didn’t plan to be born into this world, therefore your stay here is totally dependant on the one who brought you here.

He alone knows why he put you here and only He can communicate that purpose to you through His Word.

You are not here by chance God brought you here. Isaiah 43:1, Jeremiah 1:5

He was not taken by surprise when you where born. He planned for you for eternity, He made provision for you in his plan for man kind. He knows you by name, He even knows how many strands of hair they are on your head.

This means you are special in the sight of God because everything God created, He said it was very good according to Genesis 1:31

  1. Good message paster. But do you also receive bribes like Nervas?

    My main aim in life is to live to love God and all human beings and all animals. I have a duty to raise my 2 children in a way that pleases God and to make them better people on earth so that it can be transfered to the future generations.

    I hope Sata Wins. He s God given. He has come very far and has confessed his past misdeeds and God has finally given him a chance to rule Zambia.

  2. Though,i have noted that bloggers are with fake names,i will go ahead and post my coment hoping that one day we may come back to our real self.The purpose of man is already outlined by God.If one is a christian one must know his or her purpose.In genesis God said i have given you dominion over the earth.This means that nothing of the earth both under and above it are beyond man.This is what us africans(Zambians) have not understood which we need to understand.If we really did we cannot be beggers to any other nation.We would reall understand our potential and how great and powerful we are.Every one of us will look inside us for answers and not anywhere else.May God be praised Amen.

  3. Please don’t dilute the good message by bringing in a smoker who has been insulting people and indirectly caused the death of LPM because of his careless talks and today he says he loved LPM when it was the other way round. Sata is the one who never appreciated LPM and put unnecessary pressure on the president. LPM would have been alive had it not for Sata and Mugabe. Now Sata can never be God given to rule Zambia. A God given leader can be seen even from afar through his language. You can’t exepect a person who is insulting others and preaching politics of hatred to be God given. Please note that #4.

  4. Religion’s between you and your God….it’s not an issue of public discourse.Some cats just wanna show off how religious they are.

  5. Sometimes its not about the person who preaches but about the message that they bring to you. One thing we must understand is that these prchers are hmn and bound to err. I would suggest u relook at the message and reflect on it. I dont know who this Pstr is but to me he makes a whole lot of sense as #5 puts it. As they say good news does not sell but bad news as the other blogger is asking for ilyashi lyabuchende.We nd to wake up guys and realise that we have the potential within ourselves and can only realise that when you know what our purpose is.N yes i will say we need more of these messages.I know to some its alL nonsensical bt if it is, LET THOSE THAT WIL BENEFIT READ…

  6. Hey,cats…..cut out the preaching,please.There’re churches for such issues.Some of us are buddhists and we’re kind of feeling out of place here.
    Bring up issues that kind of bind us together and those that take us further away from each other and I think religion’s one of them.

    Just wanted to spit what’s on my mind……..no hard feelings,cats!

  7. Trully great men and women of my mother Zambia,there is nothing impossible.We fail in anything because we have not understood,but if we understand we surely know and we can prevail in anything we want to do.It is the spirit of evil that prevent us from doing so much in life,it is this spirit of evil that darkens our path and even when we speak we know in what spirit we have spoken and each day this determines our path and who we really are.The body is not in mans keeping but his soul is and it is what you find your inner self to be that really matters to you and not to anybody.

  8. Hey #10 wats wrong wit ya man if this message is out of touch to ya please there are a lot of issues that are being posted on thiis site it would be wise for ya not post a comment on this one if you feel uncomfortable as #9 has said let those that will benefit read..God loves us all so the only sensible thing to do is praise him whole heartedly…may his name be praised once more amen…we need such messages….

  9. Brethren,greetings in Jesus name,the name above every name.I come to you with a prayer request.My request to you all is that we join in Prayer and exhalt Bishop Samson Phiri who is hospitalised in Lusaka.
    Let us all pray that he gets healed.His place is the pull pit and not a hospital bed.Lets fervently pray that the Lord touches him and not only his family but the body of christ that he oversees.
    We thank you Lord that there is no name under Heaven is given to men by which we must be saved but the name of Jesus and we call upon you to intervene and heal our Bishop,Amen.

  10. Amen,Pastor.The Bible says let those who have ears hear.This is good seed that I’m sure will fall on good ground and bear fruit.
    This man is just being used as a vessel to get the message where it ought to go-light penetrating darkness.
    In fact Pastor this should not be a one time thing.You should work with Lusaka times so we should make this a weekly thing if not daily.
    God bless you Pastor and the most beatiful place on earth-Zambia

  11. #14,you are so kind that you think of others.We wish the pastor well and a quick recovery.What disease then afflict the pastor?I believe that even us christians must not be hypocrites but real.I also believe that every solution for our maladies lies in our hands.Have you ever wondered why there should be a quinine tree for malaria.Have you ever wondered why people like Dr David Kenneth Kaunda rarely vist hospital yet they stand not on the pulpit?We must be real on what faces us and then ask God to give us the solution.

    Great SERMON pastor and LT well done. The good Lord will fight for us on our behalf even if evil forces appear to be almost winning. In a similar manner to how our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ defeated the devil on the cross of Calvary by dying for us in a humble way and then raising from the dead, we too are more than conquerors by God’s grace and as long as we continue looking up to Him (God), we will be helped to make it.

  13. #6 ,death is God,s appointment. Sata and Mugabe are not responsible for the death of the late LPM unless you tell me that they are one and part of the Heavenly courts.God allowed LPM to rule ZED as a model.He did his purpose and God had to take him.I wish LPM finds a place in the bossom of God where Abraham enjoyed comfort after his death especially that he reconciled with his transgressors before he died.Lets remember him in prayers.

  14. How come the bible doesn’t even talk about pastors and yet you chaps use the excuse to make yourselves pastors. We can all read the bible we don’t need a crook with no scriptural authority to give sermons on the first day of the week. The bible tells us we have one priest and master i.e the son of man and rest of us are all brothers. The bible never even recognises or acknowledges pastors leading churches the only time the bible talks about ministers is when talking about satan’s ministers who will disguise themselves as ministers of righteousness mixng the truth and lies.

  15. #21 You are out of synch, Ephesians 4 v 11 says “it was he (Jesus)who gave gifts; he appointed some to be apostles, others to be prophets, others to be evangelists, others to be pastors and teachers.” Let us not us be cynical when it comes to the Word of the God, lest you be judged here and now. I hope it was ignorance, if so read your Bible more carefully…A proper version.

  16. No 21 which bible are you quoting?I hope not the bible that we all read. Ephesians 4:11 says Christ gave gifts for some to be pastors,apostles,teachers etc for the building of the church

  17. The most bullsh’t story ever told! Some people are actually convinced that, there is an invisible man living up in the sky, he has a list of 10 things he does not want you to do, if you do any of those 10 things he will send you to a special place where there is burning fire, choking and suffering where he will send you to live, and there you will burn and scream and cry till the end of time! BUT HE LOVES YOU! AND HE NEEDS MONEY! Without paying taxes, because he is all good and wise, if you talk about a good bullsh’t story HOLYSH’T!

  18. Dont get me wrong, when it comes to believing in god i really tried, tried to believe that there is a god who created each and everyone of us to his own image and likenes, loves us very much and keep a closer eye on things.., but i have to say this, the longer you live, the more you look aroung the more you realise that something is fcuked up, something is wrong here, poverty, disease, death, filth war, torture, crime, distruction, etc.. this ain’t right! If this is not good work, if this is the best god can do i do not want to be part of it, this cannot come under the control of a supreme being!

  19. #27 you tried to believe in a god religiously please try a relationship with the Almighty God, He’s not afraid of your doubts He is ready to meet and help you. He did it for me 13 years ago. I left the foolishness of aetheism behind, today I boast of a lively relationship with Him than most blind religious fanatics you might have met. Iam not religious but I have a personal relationship with God. Try Him before you beleve too late. I LOVE YOU.

  20. It is with deep regret that I announce the death of Bishop Samson Phiri of City Miracle Center.MHSRIP.
    We have been robbed of a father figure who was accessible to all.
    God bless the Phiri family during this difficult time.

  21. Has anyone seen religulous? funny huh! why is God waiting to obliterate the devil? why not now and end Humanity’s suffering? i guarantee you, noone will give you the answer you want to hear.
    I was born and raised a christian and i will die a christian but i will say one thing, the more education you get, the more you will begin to doubt a lot of things in chritianity or any other religion.The same way, we look at our ancient traditions and religious beliefs of the past is the same way chritianity or islam is to life.
    These religions and any other religion for that matter are based on myths, there are no facts and so we have to rely that one myth is true than the rest.but divinity is tr

  22. to be honest for the past almost 4 years i have struggling to find what my purpose in life is. it sounds like a simple thing but its not. i no longer find joy in being around people and simply talking and enjoying company.i no longer enjoy things that i used to previously. its like am a drone and am just living. this is so frustrating hal;f the time i feel depressed and so off. this started a while back but has been made worse by a recent dissappointment which has raised even more questions that answers for me. its torturious i tell you.

  23. #32 may the bishop rest in peace.#35 i too have thought about those things.But think of your none existance as the existance of nothing.We are luck to have this life.At list we have seen the earth.You must understand that all of us are just human beings with so much on our backs.If you seek happiness,approval and exaultation from people you will never find it.It is very easy to find faults in others but difficult to find good that is why you must make yourself happy and share your happiness with others.Exault God and pursue diligentelly that which is at your heart this is the dominion and purpose we have.Remember you are not what you are born but what you have it in yourself to be.

  24. #33 you are on the right path for you are seeking the truth.One day you will find it.But i want to ask you.Did Jesus Christ ever lived?If you are just a created being how much would you know about the creator and all that concerns Him?I really beg to differ with you,proper knowledge makes you even understand deeper the existance of God.Have you ever head of a scientist who has reproduced himself.Again no scientist world over has created anything from nothing.Every thing they make is derived from the earth.The knowledge you have is because somebody created you to have it.So what say you?

  25. No 33: Its a pity many people who grow up in christian homes take their faith for granted and have not been told the facts and the evidence of their faith. A sustained relationship with God is not just a “heart/believe” matter, but it is a “knowledge” issue and if you do not combine the two, you will find difficulties to reconcile the truth your heart knows but yo mind has not known when you meet people who question your faith. I know God is real, i have experienced His grace and love in my life. I have seen God perform miracles in my life, and i have read and studied to enrich my faith and i know there is nothing more real! On top of this, i have studied as a social scientist.

  26. No 27 why do we always try to blame everything on God. How about the human race taking some responsibility?If we could be less greedy,more loving and caring dont you think more than half the world’s problems would be solved?God tells us to do these things but we refuse to do them and when we see the misery and suffering around us we blame God.If we our all honest with ourselves we will realise that all of us have contributed in one way or another to the problems for which we blame God.

  27. Religion:- (belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge of things without parallel) is designed to scare and control primitive people, when the first Missionaries appeared in your territory they came with a plan of how they were going to keep your ancestors busy with something new to them, while they helped themselves with natural resources like diamonds ans gold…

    IF u find the story not intreseting pliz dn’t say a thing ‘coz u may think it’s a jock,b’live me the Bible say everyone ll give an account under whatsoever u ve done.Just to urge u dn’t talk bad against our God.for He alone created u and has brought u this far for one reason i.e ur purpose so pliz sit down and of all the good things God has done in ur life and family @ large.
    Be good and live a life worthwhile not what were saying,ope u understand not so.May God 4give u and give a new life

  29. Thy shall keep thy religion to thyself! try telling that to a bible salesman or born again preachers! It’s all about the money “offerings”. I’ve stopped helping anyone who says “Thanks God” after i’ve helped mostly with money, lets see if money will fall from “heaven” Simple thank you to me would be fine, why thank god when its my pockets i help them from.

  30. ladies and gentlemen, I would have thought that the more a person gets educated or wealthy then they would begin asking serious questions about the purpose of life and why we are here bcoz as you get more wealthy, and your social status goes up u begin to realise that all the things that we crave for are useless.I think everyone begins to ask themselves the question wether we are here jst to work,eat,reproduce and die.If so then what an empty and useless life!The answer is Jesus

  31. # 10 lESA TEWAKWANGALAKO God is not a person that you should play with for some of us he has done alot and this LT belongs to Zanbians and Zambia it is a christian nation if you dont hav anything to say shurt your dirty and stiking mouth before you receive a case

  32. #6. Respect bigge. i see that you live abroad as a result you have no idea that Sata and LPM reconciled. LPM was unwell for sometime, he was requested to rest by his doctors but he objected. those of us who saw him during his last days we could actually tell that the man was slowing down. the last press conf. when he talked about Mugabe was awlfu. i wish he was my hubby, i would have held on to his life.
