The Path to Purpose Discovery#1


Purpose, a word every adult on Earth has come across. “What on Earth am I here for?” A question everyone has asked, directly or indirectly. The truth is that every man wants to know that they are of worth, that they are needed and contribute to life. This is why man, consciously or unconsciously hungers to know how best he can contribute here on Earth.

The truth once again is that every man is of worth, is needed and has something to contribute on Earth. Every man was created for something, to do something and it is solely the responsibility of every man to find out why they exist.

Take for instance, Toyota produces cars to solve the problem of transportation, Samsung produces phones to solve the issue of communication. Seeing a phone or a car for the first time, it’s natural to ask its use and who would be the best person to answer such a question? THE PRODUCERS! In the same way, the best person to answer the question of our use on Earth is our manufacturer and who is that? It’s God! God made me and He is therefore the best person to answer the question of why I am here on Earth?

Based on my experience, you will never find out your purpose by just looking within, checking out your strengths, your talents or things you’re good at. Your maker is the only one that can help you with that question. THE ONLY ONE!

Not only is He the only one that can answer that question perfectly, but guess what??? He’s 100percent willing to do just that. Just ask and press on! He will certainly tell you your purpose.

Find out your worth. Find out why you’re on Earth, what you’re here to do. Find God!

PRAYER: God, my maker, my creator, my Father. I acknowledge you as God of all, creator of all things. All things were created by you and for you for a reason. I was created by you and for you for a reason. I ask oh God that you open my eyes to what you have brought me here for, that you guide and show me what it is you want me to do on Earth. This i ask Oh God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Dear Fighter

"If you are going to win the fight of your life, you can't be afraid to fight"  - Eric Thomas Dear Fighter, Life has its ups and downs. There's always some good times to appreciate and hard times to grow through. So, I have chosen to be thankful for life, family/friends, love and issues (makes  life quite a story with the occasional twists), the cool job while I had it, life on a daily... Fight the good fight. Don't be a spectator in your life, fight! Fight for your joy. Fight for your progress. Fight for your dreams, goals, and aspirations. Fight to see the good in life. I realized it, and I'm fighting too. I recently wrote down some of my forgotten dreams and new goals. Now, I think about them often and try to work towards them. It's not easy, but I  have to push for it. In those dark moments, I have found that Jesus is the source of peace.  If you're losing it, it may be that you've distanced yourself from Him. The Bible says that God is leading

Dealing with Failure

“No human ever became interesting by not failing. The more you fail and recover and improve, the better you are as a person. Ever met someone who’s always had everything work out for them with zero struggle? They usually have the depth of a puddle. Or they don’t exist.” - Chris Hardwick I’m enthusiastic. I love to be associated with success. I like to meet expectations. I just didn’t know if I could stand failing. I was afraid. I prayed and studied and kept hoping every day. I told myself that I had to pass all five of my exams. I felt that was it. Probably if I cleared them all in one sitting, I’d be more satisfied and approved of. Well, I failed one and it hit me. It hurt a lot and I felt like giving up. When I got home, I cried about it but my parents tried to cheer me up. My brother wanted us to celebrate. My friends were congratulating me. Honestly, at that point, I felt they were all crazy or something… In the healing process, I became grateful. I actua

When God Seems Distant

Image
           Some days, you feel like you're the one doing all the talking. It's like you woke up and the lights just went off. Its like God's gone on vacation!      I've felt like that too and it can really be frustrating. But while reading The Purpose Driven Life, a powerful book by Rick Warren, I got to see that this is actually a very important phase in our lives.      Just like Job's experience in the Bible, God seemed distant and didn't speak until 38 chapters later. But God never abandoned him nor left him to die of his sufferings. And despite all that Job went through, he never gave up on God.      This time is usually a period of testing to see just how much you can hold on to God when He keeps silent in your life. He really wants to show the accuser just how faithful a child He has that won't give up no matter what.
