What Is Your ‘It’?

Sunday’s service was a wake-up call—a reminder of why I’m here and what God has called me to do. The guest speaker, anointed by God, posed a question that reminded me: “What is your ‘it’?” What is the vision, the purpose, the reason God placed you on this earth or in your particular job?

He reminded us that life isn’t about our personal enjoyment; it’s about fulfilling God’s purpose. Every day is an opportunity to ask, “God, what will You have me do today? How can I do Your will and Your work?” He stressed the urgency of finishing the race and not delaying because there are people waiting—souls waiting—to know Jesus. The more we delay, the more we delay others from finding their Savior.

I made a promise and a covenant with God: I will not leave this earth without finishing my race. I will not leave without winning souls for His Kingdom. Every day, I live by this. This life is not about me; my joy comes later when I’m with Christ—where there’s no sickness, no confusion, no wickedness…..

Jermaine Edwards’ song “Your Presence” speaks to my heart: “I’m willing to trade the world, so I can be with You forever. This world is not my home; just passing through.” I hold onto that truth daily.

I’m here for His purpose, not mine. And with His strength, I’ll complete the work He’s given me to do. Let’s finish the race together.

With that being said I’m here to remind you of PAFA’s Vision. In three words:

✨Creativity. Purpose. Transformation.✨
