A purpose- driven life

Okechukwu Keshi Ukegbu

Key text: Galatians 1:15-16.

“But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by His grace to reveal His son in me, that I might preach Him among the heathen”.
God has assigned us specific purposes to achieve in life. It is either we discover it , misapply it or we do not discover it at all. The story of Apostle Paul is a typical example. Apostle Paul was destined to preach the gospel to the gentiles. Unfortunately, he misapplied it and dissipated his energy in the wrong direction. Some of us are victims of Apostle Paul’s fate.

The basic thing in life is for us to discover our purpose early enough for us to fit into it, and enjoy a smooth- ride to our destination. Most times, discovering our purpose is an uphill task because we apply the wrong principles. For us to discover our purpose we must do the following:1. Ask God in prayers (Jeremiah 33:3).2.Always seek God’s perfect will for our life.3.Listen to God. 4.Be consistent. Psalm 32:8 aptly captures it thusly ” I will instruct thee in the way which thou shall go; I will guide thee with mine eyes.

You must have a defined purpose. God created you to achieve a specific purpose. Endeavour to find out what that purpose is. Purpose is not where you are or where you have been, rather where you are heading to. Life is colourless if there is no purpose to achieve. Avoid imitation. No two individuals have the same purpose. Purpose is not constituted in your wealth, but sometimes what you use your wealth to achieve.
