Discovery and Fulfilling Purpose 2

A sequel to Discovery and Fulfilling Purpose 1

A friend once ask me this geniuine question: How can I discover my purpose in life? Well I did not think twice before giving the answer because it is a question that I have heard enough times.

The Answer - Faithfullness in the things you do.
Search through history, scriptures or any book that document the human sojourn on earth and you will discover that no one that fufilled purpose actually fulfilled it by buzzing their heads about their purpose was. They were simply diligent in the things that came their way and from there one thing lead to another and they fulfilled purpose.

This does not mean you can fulfill purpose accidentally or unconsciously, it takes a conscious effort to fulfill purpose but it means what is really needed is being faithful in whatever we do. Faithfullness in a little is faithfullness in much. The things that have been committed into your hands how faithful are you in them. Your academics, your finances, your friends how faithful are you to them. This are the things that determine whether you will fufill purpose or not.

If you are faithfull in these little things then your faithfullness will put in a better position for greater responsilbities and gradually you will the ladder of success until you reach that your place of utmost desire.

That is how it works. So stop worrying about how to fufill your purpose in life rather concern yourself about being faithful in whatever responsibility given to you, then you will see your grow to fulfillment

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.

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.

THINK GOOD FEEL GOOD

Within your mind is resident the ability to achieve whatever you want or desire in life. As a man think in his heart so is he.

Henry Ford said "whether you think you can or you think you can`t either way you are right."

Therefore you are the product of your own thoughts and not others thoughts. The rich think they have money, prosperity and they have them but the poor think they don`t have money. They think they in need, lack, scarcity, insuffiency, what do they have? Poverty. Thus the saying becomes true that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Now when you think good you also must feel good even when the things around you don`t look like it. This is what is called faith in Christianity. You have to visualize, appreciate and thank God for that which you want even if you when you don`t have it yet. In this way, you will bring yourself in perfect alignment with what you want and in matter of time what you want will manifest. So if you are sick and you want healing, then you begin to think about your body being healed. You begin to think about yourself walking  about in good health and doing those things you would do if you were not sick. And not only this, you begin to feel the strenght even though it is not yet there. And after a while what you want will manifest.

Always remember, "what you think, feel and what manifest are always a perfect match all the time no exception". It will work, it always does.

When you don`t want something then you don`t think about it or if the thing is got an opposite the focus and think about the opposite. As said earlier whatever you think you attract whether it is positive or negative. In the world today there are so many wars. War against poverty, malaria, HIV/AIDS, teenage pregnancy, drug abuse, child abuse, terrorism, human trafficing and so on. If you notice the more you they raise the wars the more these vices increase. This is because these people fighting these wars dedicate all their thoughts, energy, resources towards fighting these things and therefore these things come running back to them.

This country and indeed this world can become a better place just by a shift in our thinking and our feeling. If you see something that is good, applaud it, appreciate it, be grateful for, think about it, then you will have more and even better of it. When you see something that you don`t like don`t shout against, don`t think about it, don`t even talk about it, it will by itself vanish away.

So let us begin to THINK that :

Nigeria is a better place.

There is more than enough in Nigeria.

Nigeria has good leaders.

The world is a beautiful place to live in.

I have a bright future.

And as you do this, things will begin to fall in places for you and you will a happy person.

MONEY

  As simple as it may sound or look,it is very important and essential. It has brought some,joy and has caused many sorrow. Someone said it makes the world go round.

  It is the vehicle on which many other things ride.Without it, it could be difficult to talk about things like education which itself is another great tool for accomplishment. It could also be difficult to have good health,good shelter,clothing and to crown it all,good food,when you do not have money. A poor man is not reckoned with in the society but nobody can sideline a rich man. Who wants to listen to a poor man? but the rich man is everybody`s mentor. So without doubt money is good and essential in life.

  However,few people know that as good as money is,it could be deadly and even disastrous. And even very few know that money is not an end but a tool. Therefore we cannot say our ambition or goal in life is to be rich. We are supposed to do something(s) with our riches.

  Another fact is that we cannot get money by running after it. Those who say their goal in life is to make money really do not get rich at the end of the day. Therefore rather than going after money we should go for something better then money being a tool will come to you to accomplish whatever you want.

 Another point here is that,even though money is good and essential,we are not supposed to have the lust for money or the craving to be rich. Whatever we lust after we will go after and as said earlier we cannot get rich by going after money. Those who have the lust for money or the craving to be rich end up in troubles like bankruptcy,hypertension and the likes. So we are not supposed to lust after money and crave to be rich, how then are our needs supposed to be met.

So watch out!

CONSISTENCY

A little drop makes a mighy ocean? No a little CONSISTENT drop makes a mighty ocean. As simple as it may look it is one of the important tools needed to be successful and happy in life. Being consistent in what ever you do makes you a master in it. And you it is only masters that are celebrared. 

So one there , go work with it.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY

Thank God it`s a new day
