Topic: The Discovery Of Purpose

What is purpose?
Purpose is the original intent for a thing, purpose is the reason why something or someone exist Where purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable.

When you understand your purpose you'll appreciate events that happened in your life. (Rom 8:28)

We perform better when we function in the place of purpose for which we are called. There is a calling of purpose and until you discover it you won't make much progress in life.

Purpose can only be found in the mind of the maker; God is the custodian of purpose.
There is bound to be struggle when a person is placed in an environment not fit for his/her purpose.

For instance fishes don't require prayer to survive in the sea, they are designed to thrive under water.

When we engage in things that are contrary to our purpose we will struggle.

When you are trying to succeed in an area that is not your purpose you will struggle all through. But when you are doing things according to your purpose you overlook the pain and focus on the result.

How to Find Your Purpose
1.

Obey God: walk with God he will speak to you and let you know what to do He will instruct you in the way you should go. When you walk on your own sometimes you will swim in troubled waters.

2. Involve God in all your assignment: consult and cooperate with him.

You have to involve the Spirit of God (Holy Spirit)

Purpose and wealth don't necessarily go together, there are rich men who are still frustrated. Similarly there are men who wish they could give their wealth for something else.

3. Associate with positive minded people.

People who see possibilities not just people who see impossibilities, there are some people who don't have anything meaningful to say other than why an idea will not work, watch out for them they spend longer time analyzing the problem and no time contributing to the solution.

Negative people will drain your energy and divert you from your purpose, you can break forth and achieve greatness in life when you understand your purpose and associate with people who wants to achieve greatness.

You want to make it in life and live in your purpose you need to associate more with positive thinking people. Positive thinking people are not just those who say it can be done but those who say it can be done in line with the principles of God.

4.

Look at that dream that never goes away, that deep aspiration to be or do something. That constant burning desire to achieve something They are pointers to what your purpose and calling entails.

Not everybody is called to be engineer, banker or preacher but everyone is called to fulfil a specific and unique purpose.

5. Those gifts and talents God has equipped you with,there are so much you can do. It's indicative of what God has called you to do.

6.

Look at your habitat, your habitat is where you are designed to thrive. Fulfilling your purpose will give you happiness and satisfaction in life.
