WHAT IS PURPOSE?

According to the Oxford Learners Dictionary

Purpose is the reason for which something is done or created or for

which something exists.

We have General Purpose and specific Purpose

The general purpose of all believers is to go throughout the world and

preach the gospel to every creature.

Because when God created us, he created us for himself

Yes. So, we are in the world to live for Him.

Our life is not ours. It's God's. So, our existence should give Him glory

The second one is SPECIFIC PURPOSE.

Every single human has a special purpose they are created for and mine
is different from yours.

Even Twins have special purposes, that is why we all have our
uniqueness. And we need to discover it before we can say we have
lived life!

No man is created purposeless. No because the bible tells us in

Jeremiah 1:5 that

“Before I form you in the belly, I have known you; and before you come
forth from the womb, I have separated you; I have made you a prophet
to the nations.”

You might feel, heeen God was talking to Jeremiah alone here, No! He's
speaking to YOU and I
 HOW DO YOU DISCOVER THIS PURPOSE FOR YOUR EXISTENCE

1. Have a personal relationship with the God of purpose.

Don't know the God of your mother alone. Have a personal revelation
of God, so He can show you why He created you.

God alone has the blueprint of your life with Him; so sweetheart, ASK
GOD!

2. To Walk in Purpose.

Have friends and mentors that are interested in your life! Follow them
because you cannot fulfil purpose in Isolation

Respect this people, value, honor and appreciate them!

To walk in purpose, you have to have friends and mentors, people who
are interested in your life, very very interested in your life.
One of the things that really helped me in my journey was the fact that
I had people, people that were always there for me. Like my uncle,
when I had the vision to start my foundation he was like yes! this is it
and i started and that was it.

So, it is very important that you have people in your life who would
motivate you, not people that don't believe in your dream, no! Not
people that will tell you, you can't do it... No! People that believe in
you, it is very very essential for you to be able to walk in purpose, it is
very important.

And when you have this people don't take them for granted. Your
pastors, the covering over you, your mentors. Do not take them for
granted, be good to them respect them, honor them, value them,
appreciate them.

It takes nothing to do all these things, but there are times you feel
what's this person own but at the end of the day you are going to
realize that it is all for your good. Have friends and if you have people
who are always saying this can't work, this is not going to work, please
run away from people like that.

Run away from BAD ENERGY!

3. Keep Praying!

The reason why you need to pray is because PURPOSE IS A JOURNEY!

Purpose is a journey!! What do I mean by purpose is a journey, you

don't just discover purpose and say yes, have discovered my purpose,
God told me that I’m to be a teacher; I’m to teach children in school I’m
to become an educationist and all that. Okay, if God told you that you
are to be an educationist, God told you to be a teacher. Has God told
you everything that it requires? What type of teacher? Are you to teach
junior school? Are you to teach senior school? Are you to teach
children?

Are you to be a Montessori? What are you to be? So, purpose is a

journey. You don't just discover purpose. Boom! I've discovered my
purpose. You can discover it like that, but purpose is a journey. As you
discover it now, later God is going to be giving you step-by-step
guidelines on how to go about it, on what to do next, because there is
always a need to hear God next. If you hear God yesterday and say, yes,
that was what God said yesterday, you might not be in the move of God
because you will think that it's God that called me. You would think
you're really working for God.
You would think you're really fulfilling purpose. But at the end of the
day, you're not fulfilling purpose again because you've heard only what
God said. You're not hearing what He's saying today. So, it is very, very
important for us to be able to not work at the same part time, hearing
God every time. And that's why you need to pray. How can you know
the mind of God? It is through prayer.

I'd like to recommend a book as I have very limited time “THE PURPOSE
DRIVEN LIFE BY RICK WAREN”

So, as you're on the journey to discovering your purpose, be sure that

you're hearing God from time to time. Don't be in what God has done
yesterday. Be in what he's doing now. What is God asking you to do
next? Because that is how you can really fulfill your purpose. At the end
of the day, you won't say yes, I'm fulfilling purpose. God might have
told you to do it. But there are times that God wants you to take it
again in a new dimension. God is depositing ideas in you. God is
depositing greater, greater, greater innovations in you.
God is giving you insights. God is giving you ideas to be able to do
something new, to be creative. Do not let your mind be fixed. Don't
have a fixed mindset. Have a growth mindset. When you have a growth
mindset, you'll be able to know what God is saying part time. And it will
be very, very easy for you to follow and follow and follow what that
God is saying.

And if there is anybody here, you're feeling that, well, God talks to
pastors, God talks to people like Queen, God talks to some specific
people. You're missing it already. God is speaking to you now. Are you
listening to Him? Each and every one of us, we are God's children, and
God has created us for a particular purpose. It is left for us to discover
that purpose and to fulfill that purpose right while we are here on
earth. Until we fulfill it, until then, can Jesus come when we go to meet
Him at home? And until then, will He say, welcome, the good servant. I
pray that that will be our portion in Jesus name.

But if you're here and you're feeling like God is not speaking to me, I
don't even know my purpose, follow these steps that have been
provided. Pray to God. He's going to reveal your purpose to you. And I
pray that the grace to live in your purpose. The Lord is going to give it
to you in the name of Jesus. Follow your purpose. That is the main
reason of your existence. There's no man in this life that the Lord has
not created with a purpose. God has deposited so much more in you.
So many generations are waiting for you to manifest. So many millions
of generations cannot manifest if you did not manifest.

So, it is very important. You have very, very important in the plan of
God. That is why He has created you. God does not make mistakes. God
has not created you because He doesn't know what else to do again or
because He just wants to do an experiment. No, you're uniquely and
beautifully made. You've been bought with a price. You're created for a
purpose. So, I want you, I want to challenge you. I want to urge you to
go after your purpose. Look for it, discover it and fulfil it.

I want you all to all to know that:

YOU'RE CREATED FOR A PURPOSE

YOU'RE UNIQUELY MADE

YOU HAVE BEEN BOUGHT WITH A PRICE

YOU'RE NEVER A MISTAKE

YOU'RE IMPORTANT IN THE AGENDA OF GOD

YOU'RE A JOY TO YOUR WORLD

THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR YOUR MANIFESTATION

GO OUT AND SHOW THE WORLD WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF

I LOVE YOU ALL

Find your purpose

Discover it

Fulfil it

The peace of Jesus I leave with you all

See y'all at the top.
