How to discover your purpose


Text: Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed thee in the womb I knew you before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations”.

God knows thee even before you were conceived in your mother’s womb; you can never run away from Him. Why choosing me Lord? Who are mine that you want me for your work? Why did you create me and why are things not going well for me?

Your been alive is for a purpose and this you should know.
