A life without a clear destination / purpose will always wander. But God didnโt create you by mistake, the Bible reminds us that you are His unique workmanship!
To "grow on purpose" means moving from just existing to discovering and fulfilling your purpose.
You can be successful and still feel empty without purpose.
What is Purpose? Purpose is the original intent that God has designed specifically for your life.
Why Must I Grow in Purpose? (Col 1:9-10, Eph 3:11)
To fulfill destiny.
To stay focused: Having a clear focus kills distractions.
For legacy.
๐ The 4 Stages of Growing in Your Purpose
1. Discover your Purpose: Through prayer, the Word of God, and your spiritual gifts.
2. Develop yourself for that Purpose: Intentionally prepare yourself for the calling. Purpose without preparation cannot reach its full potential. (Purpose without development is limited).
3. Develop/Deploy in your Purpose: Stop waiting for the perfect time; start now, even if it is small.
4. Develop and multiply your Purpose: Continually grow, expand, and use your purpose to impact and invest in others.
Hindrances to Growing in Purpose
1. Comparison: Remember, You can have a birthday mate, Playmate or a classmate, but you have no "destiny mate." Walk your own path!
2. Fear of stepping out.
3. Distraction from what matters most.
4. Comfort zones that keep you stagnant.
5. Impatience with Godโs timing.
Growth Shift: When you prioritize your relationship with God, your spiritual growth naturally increases your capacity, competence, confidence, character, influence, and promotion!๐
