LIVING PURPOSEFULLY DAILY THROUGH SELF DISCOVERY-2

LIVING PURPOSEFULLY DAILY THROUGH SELF DISCOVERY-2(abstract)
(1COR 2:9-10)

The truth is that, most people who claim to know their purpose in life only have an idea of what God has in store for them. The Bible, in 1Corinthians 2:9, says But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. (see also Isaiah 64:4).
So those who have “discovered purpose” majorly discovered themselves and started living purposefully every day of their life.
SELF DISCOVERY, on the other hand simply means knowing yourself, your abilities, strengths and weaknesses. This will help put you on the right path to fulfilling your purpose in life.
For instance, I strongly believe that the purpose of Joseph coming to the earth was to save the Israeli Nation and the World from going into extinction through hunger. Joseph’s purpose was primarily to feed his family, Egypt and the World from starvation. [ He called down famine on the land and destroyed all their supplies of food; and he sent a man before them – Joseph, sold as a slave. Psalms 105:16-17] But, Joseph discovered himself early that he was destined to be a great leader and role model. He also discovered his administrative abilities as he kept his master’s house and even in Prison (Genesis 39:1-5). He was equally later endowed with the gift to interpret dreams. This self discovery coupled with his consistent and unbroken relationship with God made him live purposefully every day and he ultimately fulfilled his God given purpose.
That doesn't mean that you can know your purpose. Instead it means you cannot decide how it will be by yourself. A quick reminder of how to maintain a consistent and unbroken relationship with God is that you must connect and re-connect to God daily. The first connection is for you to be born again anew or re-dedicate yourself by accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour. While the ‘re-connect’ is to keep your link with God by daily devotion, prayer, study of the word and doing what the word says.
I pray you too will become a great leader and role model for others to follow in Jesus name. Amen.
