You have one life, one generation, to fulfill your God-given purpose. If you do it well, one life is
enough.
I. Discover and Walk In God’s Purpose — Not Yours
Romans 12:2 ...that by testing you may discern what is the will of God...
Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Before you can serve God’s purpose, you must seek God’s presence.
David didn’t chase fame or power — he chased God’s heart.
“God, how can I serve Your purpose today? Give me a divine appointment.”
II. Serve Faithfully Where You Are
Luke 16:10 One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much.”
1 Samuel 16:11-13 David anointed while still tending sheep.
Before God gives you authority, He gives you assignments.
Serve faithfully in the small things — your job, your family, your church.
Let obedience today prepare you for opportunity tomorrow.
III. Hand Off a Godly Legacy for the Next Generation
Psalm 145:4 One generation shall commend your works to another.
2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought the good fight... finished the race... kept the faith.
You’re not responsible for every generation — just yours.
Help your generation hand off “the faith” to the next.
Serve your time faithfully so others can stand on your shoulders.
Write down what you want people to say about you when you’re gone.
Then, start living that legacy now.
