As we wrap up our teaching series, On Purpose, we are reminded that purpose is not fulfilled by waiting for perfect conditions but by responding to God’s call with obedience, sacrifice, passion, and holy ambition. Whether revealed through a divine encounter or a burden placed in our hearts, purpose becomes clearer as we take faithful steps and remain committed to God’s will.

As we step into June, may we refuse to settle for less than God’s plan for our lives. May the fire of purpose burn brighter, and may we walk boldly in all that God has called us to do.

Happy New Month! Welcome to June.

To carry the burden of purpose;

1) Pay attention to yourself, especially to the burden that keeps returning.
2) Do not confuse visibility with significance. Stay focused on being in the will of God rather than desirinf to be popular.
3) Feed the fire.
4) Obediently take baby steps until it becomes grand.

As a closing charge, we were instructed not to settle for less. Like Terah did, don't settle in Haran when you are meant to go to Canaan. Gen 11:31-32

The teaching series for May ended on a powerful note with a sermon titled 'The Pursuit of Purpose'. One truth stands clear: purpose cannot be fulfilled without a proper understanding of how it is to be carried out.

A lot of people tend to wait for a dramatic, supernatural encounter before stepping into God’s assignment. However, the Scriptures show us two main ways clarity about purpose comes:
1. Through direct supernatural encounters, as seen in the lives of Abraham (Genesis 12:1), Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:5-9), and Apostle Paul (Acts 9).

2. Through an internal burden: A deep, compelling draw toward something, as observed in the life of Nehemiah, and even Moses before the burning bush encounter (Acts 7:23-25). These people observed what was going on around them, and a burden welled up in their hearts. Moses had the burden to deliver the Israelites first, before the encounter came later.

Once clarity of purpose arrives, certain principles should also be properly acknowledged:

1. Purpose does not wait for comfort: Comfort and purpose rarely walk together. Waiting for the "perfect time" can lead to inaction. If Esther had waited for perfection, she might not have been instrumental in the deliverance of her people. Sometimes, fear is the reason we delay, but many things are not as difficult as we imagine until we step out in faith.

2. Purpose demands sacrifice: Every divine assignment has a price tag. We must be willing to give to the Gospel even as we receive from it. Ask yourself: "What am I willing to sacrifice for the Gospel and my assignment in it?"

3. Purpose requires your passion: Purpose puts a claim on your passion as a believer. The burden for God’s work should burn like fire in your bones. God does not kill our ambition, He redirects it for the fulfillment of His will.

4. Purpose requires holy ambition: In the gospel, your ambition was not removed; it was only redirected. Therefore, you should dream big for God's ambition. If you are not waking up every day with a sense of purpose, there is something wrong. Acts 4:20

5. Purpose is revealed in adversity. The bigger the opposition, the clearer a genuine calling becomes.
