5 MAJOR LIFE QUESTIONS; • Who Am I?-IDENTITY • Where Am I from?-SOURCE • Why Am I here?-PURPOSE • What Can I do?-POTENTIAL • Where Am I going?-DESTI NY Everything God created with a destiny , Every human was created to live life with meaning and purpose. -Answering this questions clearly based on scriptures will make somebody live a successful life!.
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE WORD 'PURPOSE'? Purpose comes from the Greek Words known as PROTHESIS, Pro means Before and Thesis means Place . So Purpose is the before place of everything created.
Purpose Means; • An original intent for the creation of a thing that was in the mind of the creator of the thing. • Is the reason for the creation of a thing. • Is the why for a thing. • Is an end that is set from the begginning.
YOU ARE GOD’S PURPOSE! • Genesis 1:26 “Then God said ,’ Let us make a man-someone like ourselves, to be the master of all life upon the earth and in the skies and in the seas ’” LB • “Then God said ,’ And now we will make human beings; they will be like us and resemble us. They will have power over the fish , the birds ,and all animals , domestic and wild, large and small ’” GN • 27” So God created human beings , making them to be like himself. He created them male and female”
Jeremiah 1:5 “ I knew you before you were formed within your mother’s womb ; before you were born I appointed you as……….”LB • Psalm 139:13,16 “You created every part of me; you put me together in my mother’s womb . you saw me before I was born . The days alloted to me had all been recorded in your book, before any of them ever began ” GN
WHEN DISCOVERING A PURPOSE; 1.LEAD TO POTENTIAL REALIZATION; Potential is a dormant power, untapped strength, hidden ability or unused success that is within somebody . This potential is given by God himself according to his purpose . This is based also with talents and whatever the ability you have. 2 Corinthians 4:7 ‘But this precious treasure- this light and power that now shine within us- is held in a perishable container, that is in our weak bodies. Everyone can see that the glorious power within must be from God and is not our own’
2. ENHANCING PASSIONATE COMMITMENT-Passion is the energy that is created by a purpose and meaning for life . It is very strong emotion, an intense enthuasism for something . Passion is the fuel for the will and fire in the heart that lifts everything in your life. Jeremiah 20:9 ‘ And I can’t quit! For if I say I’ll never again mention the Lord-never more speak in his name- then his word in my heart is like fire that burns in my bones , and I can’t hold it any longer’
3.ASSISTING ON TIME LIMITS DETERMINATION -Anything created has a time limits ie. An expiry date. Acts 17:26 “………..He himself fixed beforehand the exact times and the limits of the places where they would live”GN Ecclesiastes 3:1,11 ‘Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses.GN He has made everything beautful in its time.NIV Psalm 90:12 ‘Teach us to number our days and recognize how few they are ; help us to spend them as we should’LB
4.IT MAKES A SENSE OF PLANNING AND PREPARATION • Planning is a process of having detailed proposal for doing or achieving something. Prov 16:1,9 ‘We can make our plans, but the final outcome is in God’s hands.We should make plans- counting on God direct us’LB • Preparation Is to get ready to do or dealing with something.
5.MOTIVATES DILIGENCE AND DISCIPLINE Diligence Is all about making an effort,working hard and tight “Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in a slave labor” Proverb 12:24 Discipline is all about doing what you know you should do,even when you don’t feel like doing it. • Discovering the purpose of God in your life motivates diligence and discipline attitudes in your life.
6.BUILDS UP RIGHT FRIENDS AND NETWORKING • Discovering the purpose of God in your life assists you on building the right friends and people who will motivates you towards the fullfilment of the purpose. • Not everyone can be your friend , you need to be careful on the type of people you network with. God provides right people in every step of your life . Isaiah 43:4
7.ORIENTING RIGHT CHOICES AND RIGHT DECISION. • Any decision or choice you make determine automatically your life course . Remember that your life is not an experiment It has meaning and purpose so don’t ever make any decision or any choice as trial. Deuteronomy 30:19 “ I am now giving you the choice between life and death, between God’s blessings and God’s curse, and I call heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Choose life”
