Achieving purpose

Before one can achieve purpose, a person as to

1. Know his destiny

2. Know the right purpose of his destiny

Then achieve it.

The question is how can you know your destiny.

On my last article I displayed three objects to be Identified. You were able to identify those object by their purpose.

Subconsciously you Identified it's purpose by it abilities.

Then what is ability?? Ability is the state or state of being able; the capacity to do or of doing something, having the necessary power. From our definition abilities are it features.

The fan was given the ability to produce Air through the capacity or features;

1. The blade for producing air

2. Rotor for rotating the blade

3. The leg to enable it stand

These features reveals it purpose in which you used to identify a standing fan.*

For humans your ability are your talents.

Talent; a marked natural ability or skill. The fact that it's is natural it tells us that it was given freely makes it a Gift. As a gift that is in born it shows it was given before you were born, outside this sphere.

That Giver is your creator, Whoever creates something creates it for his use.

Gifts are given by God for his use. The bible tells us in Numbers 18:6-8 that "God gave Aaron two gifts

1. The levites

2. The office of the priest so that he could offer sacrifices for the remission of sins and collect tithes and offerings.

Hebrews 5:1-5 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins

Exodus 35:30-35 shows how God imbibed some men with skills and ability to teach those skills for the good of israel and to his glory.

NB: Every gift is meant to be for the impartation of men and the glory of God.

The question is it possible for one to achieve purpose without God.

Well, yes.

There are 3 category of people this kind.

1. Those who achieve purpose without God intentionally.

2. Those who due to their stubbornness God uses to achieve his purpose.

3. Those who achieve purpose without God ignorantly.

• Category 1.

These are people that know their gifts and choose to use it otherwise majorly for covetousness and greed. Example is Balaam the prophet in Exodus 22 who because of money wanted to curse God's people but God averted it.

Also we have the pharisees and sadducees in the time of jesus who refused to accept the kingdom yet refused other people from doing so mathew 7:15.

• Category 2.

These are people who God uses to achieve his purpose due to their stubbornness to repent example is pharaoh, Exodus 10:1 shows us how God hardened pharaoh's heart to achieve his purpose due to the stubbornness of his heart.

• Category 3.

These are people who do not know about what they are doing because they do not have the right information or knowledge. Majorly because of environment. Example of this is Saul who later became apostle paul in Act 3:8. His destiny was to be a teacher and a leader in God but he used it in the wrong part even to the extent of persecuting Christians until he was called by God.

One question is this; can one destiny be changed.

Well No, we know that a destiny is dependent on the gift, and the gift can never be taken nor changed even by God how do I know this

Romans 11:29 says "for the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance."

That's because gifts are meant to be given freely and not retrieved by the giver. If God can't collect your gifts no one can change or collect it not even the devil. But the tactics the devil use is to abuse it purpose by changing the reason and use if these gifts.

NB: Destiny can't be changed but it's purpose can be altered.

"When you put your gift into the right use, you are fulfilling purpose."

Unfortunately their are a lot of people using their gifts outside the purpose of God.

"Every creature is meant to be fulfilling the purpose of his creation given to it by its creator."

How do i achieve purpose and fulfil destiny.

• 1. Know your creator: no one knows you better than your creator, we are suppose to consult God in everything we do so that we don't miss our way our limit ourselves from achieve purpose or make wrong decisions. Joshua made a costly mistake for not consulting God in joshua 9:1-14 which cost him trouble.

• 2. Know your gifts and turn it to skills: it's quite important to idenify your gifts so that you can know what purpose you are called to but also knowing it is never enough we must endeavour to know better and be skillful in it. You can read "talent is not enough" by John c. Maxwell who makes us to know that a gift can be a blessing to those who are wise and also a stumblingly block to those who decides not to learn more and advance.

• 3. Surround yourself with people of similar purpose or gifts: As we know, experience is the best teacher you got to surround yourself with people of the same caliber so that you can learn from their experiences and avoid mistakes they made. If possible be a disciple to a mentor for your edification and learning.

I know most youths are anxious about their purpose and destiny, even the all universe are waiting for your manifestation

Romans 8:19 says" for the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

we must know that their is an appointed time for every purpose under heaven

Ecclesiastes 3:17 that will surely manifest as far you are in God but you must be patient giving yourselves to reading, praying and fasting

phillipians 4:6 " be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving let your request be made known to God.
