Ephesians 1:11, Psalm 139:16

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
