Discovery and Fulfilling Purpose 1

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.
