THE PURSUIT OF PURPOSE

-
Your purpose is an essential part of who you are, it is your destiny, it is who you are and who you are meant to be. It has nothing to do with what the world says about you, it is entirely about you, it is about who and how the Lord has made you. The bible says that God made us in is own image and in His own likeness, it also says that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. But until we come to terms with this reality we may never achieve fulfillment.
Dr. Myles Munroe said in his book "Unleash your purpose" that "purpose is the key to Life. Without Purpose, life has no meaning." This is true because there are a lot of people out there in the world today who have no meaning to life, they live life just as it comes. A lot of people live live with the frustration of wanting to make something out of life, but they just can't because they don't understand how, and it doesn't matter how seemingly rich, wealthy of successful they are, they really haven't discovered the essence of life and it kills them withing that the don't have answers.
If our outlook to life is measure by our outward success and wealth gathered alone, we have failed immensely and we have successfully plotted our own downfall. Vision is actually buried in purpose.
Although there is is something called universal purpose, that is what guide creation itself and this was bestowed by God himself, to keep all this in shape and balance, but our input, impact and contribution to this universal purpose depends on the individuality of our own purpose, what vision of the world we see for ourselves, how exactly we define life.
Purpose is what creates a drive and motivation in us, it is that which pushes us to be committed to successfully achieving whatever vision, mission and goals we have seen and set for ourselves. It is that which makes a man relentless in his effort to be fulfilled. Purpose is that which births and keeps hope alive in us, fueling us with the passion to actually succeed.

A lot of people have fallen into the trap of wanting to be like other people. they just wanna succeed and be wealthy and be known like others are, but what we sometimes fail to realize is that our fulfillment in life solely depends on our becoming and doing exactly what we are meant to be and to do. Dr. Munroe said " Anything less makes life your enemy and death your friend". Little wonder why you hear cases of suicides and sudden deaths with no actual verifiable reasons.

For our individual and collective existence to have a meaning, we must discover our purpose. We have to understand that the fact that we exist means that there is something about us that our generation and the world at large needs. No wonder the scriptures says in the book of  Romans that creation eagerly awaits the manifestation of the sons of God. that means, that the world is waiting for you to discover and start manifesting your God given purpose, coz then and only then can your life and existence truly have a meaning.
Have a blessed and purposeful day.
Shalom!

YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH

Hello there, It's a beautiful week and we are here again to share on something very important, as it concerns just about everyone. It's an affirmation, a word of conviction and confidence and resolve. You are more than enough! Often times, we are faced with situations that make us doubt the ability we have in ourselves to succeed or accomplish whatever it is that is set before us. For some people, it is the memory of past failures, for some others, it is the memory of previous negative experiences, and for some others it is the fear of the unknown and of failing. Also some people are relegated to the zone of impossibility and irrelevance based on what they hear people say about them and what they think/know people to think of them. However, if everyone would understand the power of the mind and harness it, we would really see that there is really nothing impossible to those that believe, just like the bible also says. I once heard someone say that the energy g...

HOPE - THE BEACON OF SURVIVAL

Hey there! Let's talk about hope. Are you at your lowest and it seems like you're never going to come out of that situation? Do you feel like you're in a pit and it feels like you're never going to see the sunshine again? I bet Joseph must have felt the same way when his brothers threw him into the pit, he must have felt like it was the end like it was over for him.  In life, there would always be challenges out to test you to the breaking point, but the reality is that tough season seasons don't last, only tough people do and God will never test you beyong your capacity. One other thing worthy of note is the fact that people who have the greatest destinies encounter the greatest challenges. Now where does hope come into play in the many seemingly hopeless situation may people go through, including someone who might be reading this article? Let me categorically point out that hope does not deny the fact that the challenge exists, hope is not a wo...

VISION! PANAECIA FOR NATION BUILDING

Where do we go from here? This is a fundamental question every well-meaning Nigerian would ask when faced with a prevailing reality.  It is needful to mention from outset that the purport for this article is not set to undermine any political office, personality or party. Neither is it to recount the menace that permeates the socio-political setting of our dear nation- Nigeria. This however is not a gloss over them or a pretence as though they never existed. But it is important to reiterate that the aim of this write up is not to focus on our “pastful” errors, but in little capacity proffer answer to the question “Where do we go from here?”        Notable is the agreeable fact that there wouldn’t have been a today if yesterday never came and had to go. So would tomorrow never come until today is done with and over, and similarly is the adoption of the truism that the decisions of yesterday are ultimately responsible for our state of today.  Niger...
