PURPOSE

                       




Have you ever thought of what your purpose in life  is? Do you know why you are still alive today? Have you thought for a moment what your daily routine should help you achieve in three years to come? Are you intentionally living to an expected end? These are the many questions that flood my mind every now and then. If I am still alive today, then it must be for good reason. But what if i am just living casually without purpose, without vision, what happens then to such an aimless life? Ephesians 2:10 says we were created for purpose in Christ Jesus. Our first quest in life is to find the purpose for which we were created in order to live a fulfilled life. Jesus Christ knew his purpose. Paul knew his purpose and so did other great men and women.
 The next question that needs to be answered is how does one find their purpose? In an attempt to answer this very complex and yet simple question I sought the counsel of a few trusted friends who I believe without a doubt are living a purposeful life. But most importantly , what I have come to realize is that to live a purposeful life, one must be principled, disciplined and focused. These are very critical pointers that will help you to access a clearer and more defined purpose in life. The complexity of knowing you purpose is that everyone's purpose varies. Even with having similar purposes, each individual will have a unique way of how to fulfill it. More so, some individuals at different points in time may have more than one purpose in life. 
Finding your purpose does not have a straight road-map. No one can give you a universal equation to it.

In this series of Finding your purpose we will explore how to identify our purpose , how to stay on track and how to live to God’s glory.

THE BURNING

Every human is born with a purpose. Why would you be born to just live? To what end? As a kid, I had always lived in oblivion. I never really thought of what tomorrow would bring. I   mean the bible even tells us not to worry about tomorrow... Funny how we try to quote scripture to support our folly. believe me, we were born for a purpose that outlives us as mortals. I don't mean to speak so philosophically, but this is the realization I have come to. Even as Christians, we were born to live beyond just a righteous life. There will always be a burning to live more purposefully. My thought may be scattered right now but keep reading and you'll understand more clearly the object of this discourse. It is imbibed in our DNA as humans to regenerate. Yes! We were born to become better versions of who we were and in the process become who we are meant to be. We are born to fill that unending well of dissatisfaction in us. In finding our purpose, we metamorphose into a better version;...

THE WALK

So much has happend over the years. this year has been especially life changing as my walk with the Most High took a totally different twist. Growing up , i have been so caught up with myslef and what i thouhght i needed and would make feel so fulfilled in life. I was never the brave one, i was never the one who stood up for myself: talkless to stand up for others. But in all of this, there was a burning and a yearning for more than i was. i knew i needed to stand up for myself in the most selfless way that would make others flourish. And when it seemed that the biological clock was ticking, desperation set in. Wiriting has always been an escape for me, but i was never consistent. Now i am not only growing, but maturing. Through all these seasons , i have learnt and i have lost. In all of this, one thing that kept me is HOPE. Hope never puts us to shame (ROM 5;5). My walk with God has been a struggle. I never really understood how to walk with the holy spirit. i never really made that ...
