Open Heaven Daily Devotional 31 May 2023 MESSAGE
Today we will discuss the fourth season of life. This is a period when you are primarily focused on fulfilling your purpose in life. At this stage, you suddenly realise that you do not have much time left and if you are not careful, you may not fulfil your purpose in life.
Being in this season of life is, however; not a function of age. At whatever age you suddenly realise you need to wake up to the need to fulfil your purpose in life and that is all that matters to you, you have entered into the fourth season of life. In this season, you are not concerned so much about how much you have done; rather, your major concern is if you have done what you were created to do.
In Joshua 12, you can see Joshua boasting about the kings he defeated, but when we get to Joshua 13:1 we see how far he had actually gone in the fulfilment of his destiny.
Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed. (Joshua 13:1)
Apostle Paul was one man who was determined to fulfil his purpose. He said in Acts 20:24:
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
Thus when he was about to leave the earth, he left a fulfilled man and said in (2 Timothy 4:7):
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
Are you working towards fulfilling your destiny?
REFLECTION:
Are you where God expects you to be at this stage of your life?
