And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. Genesis 2: 7, 15 KJV
What am I doing here? What is my duty and what is my responsibility here on earth? There is a reason God created you; you are not a mistake. The bible tells us in Genesis 2:15, that God put man in the garden to dress and to keep it. The duty of man is to obey God and do that which He has told us to do. Everyone has a duty and responsibility here on earth. Most of us has been created to do something and to protect that thing.
We are not just here to look good and to accumulate, we are here to fulfill a purpose. Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Jeremiah 1:5. This means before our conception God already knew you; He had imagined you in His thought and had an idea of what you would become. It is after He had finished the design and purpose that the baby is conceived.
God had known you before He formed you. He and pictured you and known what purpose you will fulfill. We have a specific duty to carry out as creations of God. A lot of us work below par and find it so hard to fulfill our potential of our life.
Exodus 3:1-10 tells us the story of a man called Moses. The bible said Moses at the age of 80 found himself in the back of life. He found himself not where he is supposed to be but where he was not supposed to be. He was a lonely shepherd man living off his father-in-law. Instead of him being the Shepherd of men, he was leading the sheep. Moses at the backside of the desert suddenly had an encounter with God. God told him that he is not a failure but his purpose was to lead the people of Israel.
It is important for us to know what we are meant to achieve in life. There is a difference between duty or responsibility and achievement. Some people know what they should do, they do it but even in their doing there is no achievement. It is one thing to labour, yet it is another thing to show fruit of the labour. You are working hard and struggling; trying one thing it doesn’t work and trying another one but there is no fruit to show for it.
As a creation of a universal and eternal God, we are created not to labour in vain. We are created to labour and to be fruitful. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1:28 KJV
Being fruitful is a portion of God's own inheritance saved by Christ.
