Purpose is a very important thing. The purpose of a thing is the reason for the existence of that thing. It is often said that when purpose is not known abuse is inevitable. The question of purpose is the question of 'why'. It is a question which when answered correctly will bring fulfillment.
Purpose of a thing is usually defined by its maker. Therefore for those that believe in the existence of God, God gives purposes to men. To discover our purpose through God calls for a good and an intimate fellowship with Him. It demands that we do at all times things that are pleasing to Him. We must study our bibles and pray at all times observing to do what He instructs us. If we are patient and diligent enough He will reveal it to us.
For those who have discovered purpose, one thing is true, it is only in God that we can fulfill purpose. Some people after discovering their purpose go ahead and start to device strategies to fulfill the purpose. Some people do not even believe that God gives purpose they believe whatever we call for our purpose is what becomes our purpose. This is a wrong belief.
It is in God that all things consist. Purpose, success, prosperity, fame and whatever good thing we desire in life can all be found in God. We cannot have these things by running after them. We can only have them by running after God. This is why the bible tells us to seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness then all these things will be added to us. When we seek these things outside of God we can get them from other source which is not God, this will then constitute problem for us. This is because it is only the blessing of God that makes rich and adds no sorrow.
Therefore in knowing and fulfilling purpose we need to move closer to God. We need to study His word and pray always. The closer we move to God, the closer we move to discovering and fulfilling our purpose in life.

Leadership
Leadership is the ability to lead. It is the position or function of a leader. It could also be defined as the period during which a person occupies the position of a leader. However we will be more particular about the first definition.
Anyone who leads is a leader. The world right from creation had been full of so many leaders. Some good, some bad. The world has experienced leaders like Adam, Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Caleb, Samuel, Samson, Elijah, Elisah, Jesus, Peter, Paul, Alexander (the great), Plato, Socrates, Karl Max, Adolf Hitler and the list continues. Every area of humanity needs a leader. Business, sports, academics, technology, fashion, music and so on.
Leaders can either be good or bad. When the people have a good leader, they rejoice. There is peace and there is progress. On the other hand when the people have a bad leader, they suffer. There is war, want, lack, poverty and every bad thing you can think about. The leader directs the consciousness of the people. He exacts a good level of influence over the people whoever they are.
However very few people know the truth about good leadership. Being a good leader is more than having good intentions. Most bad leaders today didn’t have evil intentions when coming into leadership. They had the mind of being a leader but they ended up being a ruler or worst still a dictator. Leadership is a very powerful tool for changing the destiny of a nation therefore whoever is coming into leadership is a very agent of change. He stands in a position where he can either bring the pass the purpose of God or of the devil. Although very few leaders agree with this fact, the truth is they are actually under the influence of one of the two kingdoms on earth, the kingdom of God and the devil. The leader in power will definitely do the desires of the kingdom he subjects to whether deliberately or not.
A leader that submits to the kingdom of the devil will lead the people in a bad way. The people under him will suffer, complain and cry. A leader that submits to God will lead the people in a good way. The people under him will be glad, they will flourish, there will be things that they will always rejoice about. Though they may face difficult times they will always come through them stronger.
