Day 20: Early Discovery of Purpose.

The thing with life is that we realize a bit later what we should have known from the beginning...

Everyone of us have our unique purpose in bringing about Kingdom come(overall purpose of man). But not everyone discovers it. And one of the reason is that before we started thinking DESTINY, we were already hooked and chained by the things we were supposed to dominate.

This is an unfortunate reality but not an hopeless one because when you meet God, He breaks the chain and heals you as you stay with Him.

Someone said "the best of us will still have regrets and failures" but you can minimize your regrets by rising early.

One thing I have discovered is that most of the people who shook their generations started early. To maximize the fullness of your potentials, you have to start on time.

Look at some examples :

1. Jeremiah.... I am but a child(because that was who he really was then at least in his eyes not God) . Jeremiah 1:4-7

2. David.... Took Goliath head at age 17.

3. Jesus... Am I not supposed to be about my father's business (at age 12).

The reasons I am talking about early discovery of your unique purpose today is relate the following points to you...

1. Discovery gives you focus.

2. Discovery helps understanding your disciplines.

3. Discovery helps know your mentors.

4. Discovery helps understanding and appreciate strategic relationships in your life.

5. Discovery delivers you from shadow boxing about life.

6. Discovery reveals your enemies.

7. Discovery determines your appetite.

TO DISCOVER PURPOSE...

1. You must know your source.

2. You must be desirous of the knowledge of your purpose. (Matt 7:7-8)

3. You need to observe your natural gifts.

4. You need to observe what you are passionate about (passion can be what you hate so much you want to change or something you love so much you want to introduce to anyone around you).

5. Pay attention to certain reoccurrences that puts you in a winning position.

6. Pay attention to opportunities that keeps coming your way. Nothing is a coincidence for a child of God.

I will stop you tonight...

We continue tomorrow....

Day 15: Dominated-Dominator 4 (Revelation)

There’s a story about a farm boy from Colorado who loved to hike and rock climb. One day while climbing in the mountains, he found an eagle’s nest with an egg in it. He took the egg from the nest, and when he got home, he put it under a hen along with her other eggs.

Since the eagle hatched among chicks, he thought he was a chicken. He learned chicken behavior from his “mother” and scratched in the chicken yard along with his “siblings.” He didn’t know any better.

And when he sometimes felt strange stirrings within him, he didn’t know what to do with them, so he ignored them or suppressed them. After all, if he was a chicken, he should behave like a chicken.

Then one day an eagle flew over the farm, and the chicken-yard eagle looked up and saw him. In that moment he realized he wanted to be like that eagle.

He wanted to fly high. He wanted to go to the mountain peaks he saw in the distance. He spread his wings, which were much larger and stronger than those of his siblings. Suddenly he understood that he was like that eagle.

Though he had never flown before, he possessed the instinct and the capabilities. He spread his wings once more, and he flew, unsteadily at first, but then with greater power and control.

As he soared and climbed, he knew he had finally discovered his true self. Substance slavery is one the greatest pain to society and to the heart of God...

From the book: Success is a CHOICE.

From the story, the eagle is supposed to be the one dominating its space(air) but was subject to leaving on land because it never saw itself in the light of its potential or calling.

From tomorrow, we trust to explore some other of the things that now dominate man.... We trust that peradventure if we already held by any, God will supply HELP in Jesus name, Amen.

We continue tomorrow....

Day 14: A brief detour

Purpose precedes production. without purpose life will be tasteless, boring, meaningless and chaotic.

Life will be a circle of consistent frustration because of the void of unfulfillment and adventure.

A cycle of confusion as meaning is not derived from existence and activities. Everything have a specific reason why they were, are and will continue to be.

When the purpose of a thing is accomplished it's existence become irrelevant and continuity makes it a nuisance and chaotic.

God who is the master producer. Everything was made by him(John 1:3, Genesis 1-2, Hebrews 11:3).

We must understand that God didn't create anything for the sake of creating but had an ideal purpose in view. From scriptures, we deduce that God's overall purpose for creation was receiving pleasure from creation(Rev 4:11).

Understanding this helps you see things from an entirely different perspective:

1. God is a God of purpose.
2. God determines the purpose before creation process.
3. We still are limited in the understanding of the purpose of certain things.
4. Only God knows the purpose of a thing.
5. You're created for a purpose with a purpose.
6. When the purpose of a thing is unknown, Abuse is inevitable.
