In 1988, Anissa Ayala, a sixteen-year-old was diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia. The doctors said that if she did not receive a bone marrow transplant after chemotherapy and radiation treatment, she would die. Neither her parents nor her brother was a match, and they could not find a donor elsewhere. Her parents, both in their forties, conceived another child and hoped that its bone marrow would be compatible with Anissa’s.
To their great delight, it was determined that this new baby was a compatible donor. When Marissa Ayala was fourteen months-old, the doctors took some of her bone marrows and gave them Anissa. Anissa made a full recovery from the Leukemia and both sisters lived healthy lives. In a very real essence, Marissa saved Anissa’s life. She says, “Without me being a perfect match for my sister, she would not be here.”
Have you realized the purpose for which you are born into this world? Have you ever been gripped by a deep sense of purpose for living? Do you have a personal awareness of your assignment on this earth? It is amazing to know that even Jesus Christ was never mistaken about His purpose for coming to the world. “Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.” John 18:37.
How I pray for you today, that you will receive the courage to fulfill God’s purpose for your life. The destinies that are tied to you will not wait endlessly in vain in Jesus’ name. Arise! Rescue the eclipsing golden era, save the generation next!
