PURPOSE AND DESTINY
You have not found anything, until you've found God's purpose for your life
Ecclesiastes 3:11
The only reason you're preserved is your purpose/destiny
Purpose Indicators
Passion:
This is a fuel for mission which keeps you going (overcome difficulties)
Your life begins when you discover your passion/drive
Matthew 13:44
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field" KJV.
Matthew 6:33
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" KJV.
Ecclesiastes 9:10
"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest" KJV.
God will not reveal everything about your life at once, it takes a process; watch your passion and be faithful in little
In God's calendar, you don't get promoted until you outgrow (master) where you are currently
Fuelers of Passion:
- Dreams:
Vision of the light, Deep meditation/exercise of the mind, projection of a preferable future for your life
Your mind must always be ahead of your life; travel in/stretch your mind
God treats "thoughts" the same way He treats prayers
Money is not a factor for fulfilling destiny, dreams are ... for every vision, there's an equivalent provision; conceive some thoughts and take steps
- Gifts (Proverb 18:16, 2 Chronicles 7:5):
It is a major pointer to your purpose. something you do with ease, even though it amazes everyone
1 Corinthians 7:7 - "For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that" KJV. - Your gift is an equipment for your purpose to assist you in the assignment
Acts 18:24-28 - Apollos was eloquent (gift), that is why he was able to convince the Jews more than Paul did
David was a gifted musicologist
Gift is a raw thing, skill is a refined gift
1 Samuel 16:17-20
Recognize your gift, polish it and use it, it will take you where your certificates cannot
Joseph's gift caused God to cause a famine in the land ...
There's something I have that the world is waiting for
Daniel had a gift in discernment (Daniel 5:11-15)
- Experiences (Roman 8:28):
David's experiences made sense when he finally met Goliath (1 Samuel 17:34)
God allowed you to go through your present state so that you can be a master in it
Take full advantage of your pain, it is meant for you to learn sense
you are in a preparation ground, you're being cooked
I PRAY THAT YOU'LL FIND GOD'S PURPOSE IN YOUR LIFE
