THE POWER OF PURPOSE

The purpose of life is a life of purpose. Purpose is the original intent for a thing. You are not here by accident, but you are here to fulfil God purpose for your life. Notice two thing about purpose: (1) Your purpose is determined by God. There is a difference between wanting to be like a mentor or a TV personality and having and fulfilling your God given purpose. When your purpose is of God it will surely come to pass. You won't need to orchestrate events; God will provide the resources and open doors at the right time. Provision will always locate purpose. Your steps will be directed by God. Here is an interesting scripture, '...Time and chance happen to them all. For man does not know his time: like fish taken in a cruel net, like a bird caught in a snare, so the sons of men are snared in an evil time(Ecclesiastes 9:11NKJV). God will reveal to you your destiny and give you an opportunity to fulfil it. But you can resist it, or postpone it, or give your life to other things and end up missing your 'time' and 'chance'. Don't get caught up in that net or trapped in that snare and forfeit what God has for you.
(2) Your purpose will be connected to a certain field. Joseph's dream of fulfilling his purpose started with a field of wheat(genesis 37:6-7). What's your field? Whether God has called you to the field of medicine, education, finance, real estate, or some other field, its to be a blessing to others. God told Abraham, '...I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing'(Genesis 12:2). Don't seek fame, seek to serve others. If you do, your impact will be greater than your image and your eternal reward greater than anything you can drive, wear, live in, or hang on a wall.

prayer Point

Father, I dedicate my life to you anew. I receive grace to fulfil your purpose for my life in Jesus name.
