PURPOSE

 






To fulfil God's purpose you have to be aligned with him, know how he speaks to you and submit all your will and desire for God's own which would not always be rosy.

You also have to learn to give glory to God and God alone when he starts to manifest his works and power through you. You have to be very prayerful, praying always, so you won't lose connection with God.

Most especially purpose might bring you face to face with your fears or with something you have avoided like a plague all your life (e.g. God might want to heal you from an experience that you always try to conceal because you are ashamed of, so you can be a vessel in is hands to reach out to many who has gone through the same thing.) which might require a lot of sacrifice, your life might even be at stake.

You might have to go to places and do things that you dread doing but turning away from it would be turning away from God's plan so when God has led you into doing something that is difficult or seems very impossible rather than running away in fear, take up faith and courage not just in your self but in God especially.


Purpose is not just one thing. It evolves over time and for every season of your life, you have a purpose which main goal is to make Jesus Christ known or to be a light in this dark world. It might be just in the life of one person or many people but as far as God has sent you do it, do it very well according to His leading and live the rest to him.  Discovering purpose has to also do with been sensitive to the needs of people around you. Not just their physical or materialistic needs but also and more importantly their soul needs and been able to come through for them by the help of God.

Lastly your purpose might be associated with so much pain and sacrifice but the joy and glory associated with it at the end would be something you can't comprehend. Yours might be overcoming that addiction, leaving a relationship that is not bringing glory to God. However small or big it is, I encourage you to endure the cross now for the joy that is set before you.

May God help us fulfil purpose.

Friendships are gifts

  Have you ever looked at a friend or even a family member of yours and be like, "thank God you are in my life" and the person feels the same way too.  There is a way God brings people into our lives.  Not all relationships happen by accident, some were arranged by God for specific purposes. He looked at us, he assessed our needs and then he placed people around us that would meet those specific needs. Appreciate someone y ou know is a blessing from God today. You didn't meet the people in your life by mistake and the people you would be meeting in the future  would not be by mistake.  Do not be quick to push people away because you feel they are not giving you the world definition of value like money, connections, etc. While all of those things are good and God also provides people in our life that can give them to us, your friends might be giving you peace, making you smile and laugh when you are sad, hearing you talk about stuff that makes you happy, supporti...

God type of love

  The Word love is a very deep word. It means different things to different people. Here is my perspective on love... If there is one thing I know, it is everybody deserves to be loved regardless of their background, race, age qualifications etc. The man in the Palace need to be shown love as much as the man on the street. Don't Love people just because of the benefits that you can get from them alone. Even if they cannot offer you anything still love. In Love there is compassion, hope, patience, understanding, kindness, forgiveness, peace, no strife, no envy, no jealousy no competition but like Jesus, there is willingness to bear the burden of other people and share in their joy. For people in romantic relationships, love is not infatuation and lust, they are both self seeking but it is an intentional decision to choose someone regardless of the situation. Note that you don't have to be friends or close with someone to love them, as a matter of fact some people just call thems...

God has been speaking.

  There is a song titled Voice of God by Dante bowe. What I love most about the song is it makes me understand that God must not necessarily speak to us in a very complex way like he did to the Father's of faith in the Bible (e g Abraham, Moses etc.), he can talk through the simplest thing. We might be very confused about something and then an idea just comes into our mind and we know immediately that it was God because of the light and peace that comes with the thought. God speaks, the Holy spirit still ministers but if you allow the voice of what the world is saying to be to louder, how are you going to hear him? When I say the voice of the world, I mean the voice of social media, of friends, of foes, and sometimes the negative voice in your head that is too loud. Tune them down, take time of social media, infact take time off listening to sermons, be quiet and still either reading your Bible or basically doing nothing but just listening to God speak through you. You have to get ...
