INTRODUCTION
Your motive designs your fulfillment in life. You cannot live a fulfilled life with the wrong motive. Remember, Ahab ask Naboth for a piece of land, but with a wrong motive, Gehazi lost his prophetic ministry because of a wrong motive which was greed, Sampson also lost his mission in life because of a wrong motive. So many people have ended their journey in life because of a wrong motive. Therefore let your decisions in life not be coupled with the wrong motive.
Luke 4:1-13 -. "And Jesus being full of the holy ghost returned from Jordan and was led by the spirit into the wilderness........"
