SCRIPTURE

1 Jesus said to his disciples: I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.

2He cuts away every branch of mine that doesn't produce fruit. But he trims clean every branch that does produce fruit, so that it will produce even more fruit.

3 You are already clean because of what I have said to you.

4 Stay joined to me, and I will stay joined to you. Just as a branch cannot produce fruit unless it stays joined to the vine, you cannot produce fruit unless you stay joined to me.

5 I am the vine, and you are the branches. If you stay joined to me, and I stay joined to you, then you will produce lots of fruit. But you cannot do anything without me.

John 15:1-5 CEV

LIVING ON PURPOSE

Nothing happens by chance, coincidence is a figment of man's imagination, everything great is deliberate; success is deliberate.

Good morning Lighthouse Family, today every sworn enemy will give up on you because of the impregnable covering of the blood of Jesus over your life in Jesus name.

God desires that we bear much good fruit (see John 15:1–5). That can only occur if we are people who live life “on purpose.” Each day, we should prayerfully think through on what and why we are hear on earth. If we are vague and thoughtless, it is more likely that we won’t accomplish much at all. Vague people wait to see how they feel before taking action, but purposeful people take the proper action no matter how they feel about it.

We live in a world of distractions. Many things scream for our attention, and yet it is up to each of us to decide what God would have us give our attention to partime. If I need to clean my house today or go shopping with a friend who called at the last minute with an invitation? If I need to study for an exam or get distracted by television and sit on the couch most of the day? If I need to spend sometime in prayer and fellowship with the Lord or do I allow myself get swept off by the tons of posts and twits on social media? Success is in your daily habits, the things you choose to do deliberately and consistently. Many people live frustrated lives simply because they do not live on purpose.

When my day is over, I need to feel that I have accomplished something worthwhile. I want to have made progress in some areas of my life, and I believe that is a desire God has placed in each of us. We feel fulfilled when we have confidence that we have done what we needed to do, but we feel frustrated if we feel we have just wasted the day. Even if we decide to rest all day, which is something that can also be fruitful for our overall health, we need to do it on purpose! Your success is sure!

PRAYER:

Father, I want to bear good fruit in my life, and I need Your help in planning and in following through in Jesus name.

Holy Spirit, Help me not to get distracted by time-wasters and joy breakers that get me off track and frustrate me. Keep me focused Lord in Jesus name

I receive wisdom to plan effectively and meticulously so that my everyday will be super productive in Jesus name.
