“Why Am I
Here?”
ICEBREAKER: Besides what you do now, identify one thing
that you think would have been an interesting occupation.
CONFESSION: I have the mind of
Christ! I was placed on this planet to
know the Blesser, to receive the blessing and to bless my world. My very existence adds value to my world
because I am God’s child. There has
never been and never will be another human being exactly like me. Just like every snowflake is completely
unique, I am unique to every other human being.
I am here on purpose, with a purpose, for a purpose. My purpose, destiny and calling are unfolding
daily as I seek to obey God every day.

Principle Attitudes of
Jesus Christ
1. The Principle Attitude of Humility: Humility is God’s
idea. The low way is always the high way
and God’s way is always the best way.
2. The Principle of Compassion: Compassion feels another’s pain and does
something about it. It is the ability to
sympathize, relate to or feel the disappointments, the shame, and the hurt of
others.
3. The Principle of Gratitude: Thanksgiving is not just another holiday it
is the holy way of living. Gratefulness
is contagious. It is the wise attitude
that attracts favor with God and man.
So Why Am I Here? To meet needs, to heal hurts, to solve
problems, to restore order, to cast vision, to create wealth, to produce fruit,
to reclaim dignity (remove shame), to instill courage, to change atmospheres,
to right wrongs, to challenge the status quo, to evangelize my world, to
release blessings.
