DISCOVERING YOUR PURPOSE

DISCOVERING YOUR PURPOSE Contd.

Rom 8:28-30 MSG
(28) That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.

(29) God knew what he was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son. The Son stands first in the line of humanity he restored. We see the original and intended shape of our lives there in him.

(30) After God made that decision of what his children should be like, he followed it up by calling people by name. After he called them by name, he set them on a solid basis with himself. And then, after getting them established, he stayed with them to the end, gloriously completing what he had begun.

More pointers to the discovery of purpose include

4. Burdens and Compassions

What are the problems that stir up your compassion? Your burdens and compassion are clues to your purpose. The problem that infuriates you most is what you are called to solve.

Jdg 6:13-14 KJV

(13) And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.

(14) And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?

In Judges Chapter six and verse thirteen, Joshua was heavily burdened about Israel. This is evidenced in his speech and the questions he threw at the angel.

You would have thought the angel would answer his questions directly and give him a thorough explanation about his burdens. But what did the angel say? He simply said ‘Go’ in this thy might…”

Every burden will elicit a ‘Go’ If you have a burden or a compassion, it is an indication of your purpose.

5. Inherent Abilities

Purpose is inside you.

Jer 1:5 AMP

Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.

Your purpose is in you. Check out what flows in you naturally. If you are woken up in the night, what will you do without stress? What is it that people consider as work, but you see as fun because you find it easy to do? It is a sure indication to the discovery or your purpose.

You will discover your purpose in Jesus name.
