Speaker 2 (02:03):
Good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice, Come
on now digmy one and only Steve Harvey got a
radio show. Thank God for it all the time too. Well,
here we go today. I want to share something with
you that will help you because it's helped me.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
You know. I was.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Telling the story once that in this magazine called Rob Report,
that there was a statue I used to see for years.
I started buying Rob Report magazines years ago. So I
just wanted to see what affluent people did, you know,
just wanted to see what people with means did, what
(02:47):
type of investments they did, what they bought, you know,
where they traveled to the Rob Report it's just like
a it's like a big boy toy magazine. You can
see what cars is out. You know, I didn't have
money for none of it. Just I was dreaming though,
you know, I just wanted to see. And there was
a statue inside this magazine of this man who was
(03:11):
coming out of this bronze rock. And he was completely bronzed,
and he was muscular, and you know, he didn't look
nothing like me, but he was a man coming up
out of a rock. And he had a huge hammer
and a chisel in his hand. And as his body
from the waist up was coming out of this huge
piece of stone, you could see where it was him
(03:32):
who had been chiseling informing himself. So the name of
the statue was self made Man. And for years man
I said, Man, I'm gonna get a big house one day,
and I'm gonna put that statue in the backyard in
the corner. That's gonna be my little spot where I
go chill, because I'm a self made man. Well, after
(03:53):
years of working at becoming somebody and having reached a
degree of success, I would have nothing to do with
that statue. There's nothing about that statue that appeals to
me anymore, because on my journey and in my quest
(04:14):
to become what I thought would be this self made man,
where I could put this statue and had this statue
in the corner be kind of cold symbolizing it. I
had made it. I realized on my journey there's no
such thing as a self made man. That we all
need help, and that God places people in our paths
(04:35):
along the way that benefit us oftentimes. And it's the
most unlikely person often times, and it's the most unlikely
way that He presents these people in front of you.
It's crazy how he does it.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Man.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
And so this is a statue now that I look
at and I go, I see what the creator was saying.
And that's cool, but not not for me, because I
needed help. And I've learned a lot of things like
this along the way. And the part I wanted to
share with you all about this is you've got to
(05:10):
develop You've got to develop a sense of purpose. You
have to develop a sense of purpose that's different. See,
your purpose is created for you by God because when
He created you as an individual. From whatever to parents
(05:32):
you may have, that's not important here. When he created you,
he had something in mind for you, and it was
a purpose. God has not created a single soul to
become a criminal. God has never created a single soul
to be a drug dealer. This came about through some
decisions we made as sinners, and we stayed in that place.
(05:58):
But see what He created us us. He has a
wonderful idea for us. But God gives us human beings
this thing called choice, and we have the power to decide.
So you could decide if you're going to adhere to
the purpose that God created you and made you for,
or you can go ahead and make some choices on
your own. So like, if God wanted to give you
(06:20):
a life and give it to come to you and
give you life more abundantly, and that's his promise if
you come to him, if you choose him, then cool.
But if you say, well this ain't moving along fast enough,
I'm gonna get my own life of abundance, I'm gonna
start slinging. Well, guess what now, Tada, You've made a
decision and seek God's decisions and choices. The one thing
(06:43):
I learned about them, God's decisions, choices, his voice, It
has no sin in it. And it amazing how many
people it came up to you and said, the Lord
wanted me to do this to you, and I'm doing it.
That God is punishing you and I'm doing this to
you because God gonna see that you get your day.
Who who was this person? Who is this person that
(07:04):
God all of a sudden gave this authority and power
to God didn't get at the nobody, man, nobody, This
person only had the right to hold you to your past,
the right to make you pay. So who makes them
pay when they make mistakes? Because they all make them.
So when I say you have to have a sense
of you have to develop a strong sense of purpose.
(07:26):
That means you have to strongly get in touch with
your creator to find out what the purpose you were
created for. See, it's two things that I had to
learn along the way. My career was what I was
paid for. My calling is what I was made for. See,
it's two different things, folks. It took me a long
(07:47):
time to learn it. Some people think that they calling
is to be a performer. Well, that's what you're paid for,
and a big part of your life is your performance.
It's tied directly to your gift. But what you made
for though, what you made for is to bring about
some significant change in another human beings lives because we
(08:08):
are all linked together in this chain. That's what you
are here for. Everybody has a purpose to do something wonderful, meaningful,
or impactful for another person. You think the God that
invented the airplane was merely inventing the airplane so he
could fly. Now, his purpose was to become an inventor,
(08:31):
to come up with this invention so he could fly
and we all fly.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
See.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Sometimes God will make you successful so you can become successful,
so you can turn around to teach other people how
to become successful. God save people, so you can turn
around it tell other people how wonderful it is to
be saved. You see how this thing work. That's what
we have to do as people. And it's nothing that
we have to go and discover. We have to go
(08:57):
and develop it. But if you haven't discovered your purpose,
it's simply because here's it. If you haven't discovered your purpose,
it's simply because you have not contacted the creator and
maker of your soul to ask and find out why
you were created. It's as simple as that. If you
(09:23):
buy a toyota, there's an owner's manual on the inside
that will tell you everything you know how to best
operate your toyota, how to make it work, what to
do they got a troubleshooting section. Your faith is the
same thing as an owner's manual in your car. Open
(09:45):
up that book man, find out how to jumpstart your life,
how to troubleshoot it and get on with your life,
and find out your purpose and develop a strong sense
of purpose. All right, Okay, you're listening. Morning che oh
