Discover your heavenly father's Assignment

We all are created with a purpose and a divine assignment attached to us. At first, man was created to dominate an extension of God's kingdom which will show forth His glory and majesty. Man is to rule over all creatures made on earth.
As man begin to multiply from one generation to another, our purposes becomes simplified according to our generation and the location we find ourselves. Though we may be blind to this purpose as we grow up, but having an intimacy with God will make us see, know and understand His purposes for our life per time and season.
As much as we live to fulfil our personal desires in this world, we must not be too carried away by forgetting the heavenly assignment God has purposed for everyone of us. This heavenly assignment will also guide us through the success we deserve both in this life and the wold to come.
