Quote: "I’m not here to just take a seat; I’m here to let my purpose beat! A champion of the King, I rise and stand tall, knowing His plan is behind it all."
Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Prayer: Lord, guide me to walk fully in Your purpose for my life. Let every step I take reveal the greatness You’ve placed within me. Amen.
Message from Minister Ibn Ali:
Today, I want to share a message with you all—a message about purpose, about strength, and about standing tall even when the odds feel insurmountable.
Let's start with this powerful quote: "I'm not here to just take a seat; I'm here to let my purpose beat! A champion of the King, I rise and stand tall, knowing His plan is behind it all."
Think about that for a second. When we're grounded in our purpose, when we understand that there's a greater plan backing us, we don't simply sit back or shrink away. We rise; we stand tall, knowing that we're not moving alone but with a divine purpose guiding us.
The Scripture from Jeremiah 29:11 speaks directly to this, saying, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." This isn't just a promise; it's a declaration that each of us has a purpose, a specific calling, woven into the very fabric of our lives. God has plans for us—not to break us, not to sideline us, but to elevate us, to give us hope and a future.
Let me share a bit from my own journey to make this message come alive for you. As many of you know, I'm a retired cruiserweight champion. I've been blessed with the opportunity to live out my passion in the ring, to fight, to give my all, and to carve out a name for myself in a sport that demands everything from you. But I'm also the nephew of one of the greatest fighters of all time—Muhammad Ali.
Now, you might think, with a name like that in the family, the path to greatness would be easy. But that's not how life works. In fact, sometimes the weight of legacy can feel like more of a burden than a blessing. There were days when I felt like my purpose was hidden, like I was always standing in someone else's shadow. It's a challenging place to be—caught between what the world expects of you and what you feel called to be. But here's where God's purpose came in.
As I trained, as I pushed through exhaustion and self-doubt, I realized something: God hadn't placed me in that ring to simply be a "nephew of." He had a unique calling for me, a purpose that went beyond championships or belts. And in every match, every round, I began to realize that my calling wasn't just about victory in the ring; it was about showing others that no matter what life throws at you, no matter who came before you or what challenges lie ahead, you can rise. Not by your own strength alone, but by God's.
Friends, maybe you're in a place right now where you feel overshadowed, where your purpose feels just out of reach, or maybe you're struggling with doubt, wondering if you're on the right path. But I encourage you to stand tall, to trust that God's plan is backing you. Just as I stood in that ring, not knowing what the outcome would be but knowing that my purpose was greater than the moment, you too can stand in the faith that you're being held, that you're being guided.
And remember, purpose isn't always clear. Sometimes it unfolds over time, piece by piece. But we're told in Jeremiah 29:11 that God's plan is to give us a hope and a future. That means our purpose, our calling, is filled with promise, with the certainty that God's hand is on our lives. Even if today's step feels small, or you feel hidden in the shadows of yesterday, God is still working.
So, as we go forward, let's be bold enough to claim this truth for ourselves. Let's say, "I'm not here to just take a seat; I'm here to let my purpose beat!" Like a true champion of the King, let's rise, let's stand tall, and let's walk in confidence, knowing that God's plan is behind us every step of the way.
Let's close with a prayer:
"Lord, guide me to walk fully in Your purpose for my life. Let every step I take reveal the greatness You've placed within me. Amen."
Thank you. May each of you find strength, hope, and purpose in your journey ahead.
