*TRUE FULFILMENT IS IN CHRIST*
*Friday 11th July 2025*
*TO THE BIBLE*
*Acts 17:28 NIV;* “For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.”
*LET’S TALK*
“Did you hear what that billionaire said before he passed?” Ogooluwa asked Titilayo, his voice low but curious.
Titilayo looked up from her phone. “Who? Mr. Kingston? The tech guy?”
“Yeah,” Ogooluwa nodded.
_*“After building that empire and owning everything money could buy, his last words were... ‘I found out that true fulfilment is in Christ.’”*_
Titilayo blinked. “Seriously? After all that?”
Ogooluwa shrugged.
“Guess it shows there’s more to life than just success and money.”
Do you ever look around and think, “Wow, man, has come up with remarkable innovations!” Like, we’ve built rockets that touch space, phones that can do pretty much everything, and art that makes you feel all kinds of emotions.
Man was made in the image of God, and that’s why even the natural man possesses incredible capacity and potential. But even with all that, something’s missing. Think about it: people have made life easier with all these inventions, hoping it would make them happier. Yet, why do so many still feel empty inside? Why do we hear about celebrities and super successful people who have it all but still feel lost?
For instance, think of a professor who has acquired immense knowledge yet struggles with the meaning of life. He has no peace or satisfaction despite his intellectual prowess and tragically decides to end his life. How sad! This example illustrates that no matter how much knowledge or success one attains, true fulfilment is in Christ and Christ alone.
Even today, a lot of people are still asking, “Why am I here?” They’ve got the fame, the cars, the followers, but deep down, they’re searching for something more. And it’s not just older people dealing with this. Right now, so many young people are asking the same questions: Why am I here? What’s the point? Some have lots of followers, viral videos, designer clothes, and all the attention they could ask for—but when they’re alone, they feel empty. Others think, “Maybe if I just disappear or start over, I’ll finally feel peace.”
Christ is the source of all joy, all peace, and all fulfilment. Outside of Him, everything is fleeting and meaningless. In Him, you find the meaning of life, the purpose for which you were created, and the true joy that transcends circumstances. In Christ, you find all of God’s goodness. Hallelujah!

*PRAY*
Dear Lord Jesus, I thank you for being my source of true fulfilment, joy, and peace. You’re my reason for being; my satisfaction and pure delight come from my relationship with you by the Holy Spirit. And I thank you for helping me bring many others into the same glorious life of purpose, eternal joy, and true fulfilment in Jesus's mighty name, Amen.
*ACT*
Take a moment today to pause and ask yourself: What am I really living for? Is it likes, followers, success, or something deeper? In Christ alone lies true fulfilment, ask him to come into your life today if you are yet to.
