PURPOSE DIFFERENTIATES A MAN
You were fashioned for a purpose; for
life
Is
based on purpose
Discovering
life’s purpose is a phrase that has stimulated me to pursue my destiny and to
fan the dying embers of my desire for more out of the life. It is my hope that
as you read this chapter it will do the same for you as you apply the secrets
unveiled in it.
I have written this chapter based on
the light available to me and the inspiration I’ve had from God’s word. I am
particularly challenge by the life of Moses, one of the heroes of faith mention
in the eleventh chapter of the book of Hebrews. Moses was a very calculative
and decisive man. His courage and boldness, what he suffer to forever put his
name in the Hebrews faith hall of fame because of particular interest to me as
I study his life various performances It took courage and, yes, faith for Moses
to give up his place in the palace, but he could do it because he saw the fleeting
nature of Egypt’s wealth and prestige.
I realize that Moses’ boldness in
refusing to be called the son of pharaoh’s daughter, choosing affliction rather
than the passing pleasures of Egypt,
esteeming the reproach of Christ’s greater riches above Egypt’s treasure and forsaking Egypt, not fearing the king’s
wrath, would not have been possible had not discovered himself and God’s
purpose for his life. I believe this is why Jay Rifenbary said, ‘’purpose
naturally lead to prudent risk-taking.’’ Moses’ faith, courage and prudence were
the virtues that enhanced his personality and placement in the scripture. He was able to discern and discover himself,
his place and purpose and he became a hero of faith in the BIBLE.
Discovering your purpose play a
prominent role in the fulfillment of your destiny. To uncover the depth of your
destiny and appropriate your God-given purpose, you must first discover
it and then give it a prominent place with it wheel set rolling. In fact
discovering is yet going on today. Every day will see new inventions adorning
our world. These invention begins with ideas in the mind of the inventor. We
all have ideas. If you can fix that idea rightly, then you will be reckoned with
in your generation. Realize that the only way we can fully manifest our
potential is when we first discover them. That is why I’m thrilled at the
opportunity to share this concept with you. It is a concept that I seek to
pursue every day and I feel that, perhaps in some small way, it will help spur
you to discover your own life’s purpose. To be honest, discovering life purpose
is not a small task. Sometime it comes at a price. But you and I know that in
life nothing good ever come easy. Therefore, you should be ready to give it
every bit of your strength in order to
have the reward. After all, men like Michael faraday, John Wesley, martin
luther, and the order great men and women who adorn our page of history, were
in their time ready to risk their lives and even willing to die for what they
believed. As you’ve probably heard so many times, “behind every glory, there is
a story.’’ Of all discoveries I think the discovery of self and purpose is the
greatest. You will never amount to anything unless you know who you are, what
you were born to accomplish.
As Myles Munroe often say, “Where
purpose is not know, abuse is inevitable.’’ I NEED YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU WERE
BORN FOR A REASON, a purpose. GOD has given you all things but discovering them
is the gateway to receiving them. You may have a great destiny, but if you do
not have access to it, you will never reach it. What you see is you right now,
that mess you are in, or that despair you find yourself right now is not all
that there is about you. There is more. You can make a difference. You can
reach your potential. You can stand on
the mountaintop and boldly declare, “I am coming out! I am standing out!’’ the
key is to discover who you are, what you were meant to be. I assure you; you
will become that person that the LORD has made you to be.
