Topic: DISCOVERING PURPOSE AND COMMITING TO DO IT
Text: 2 TIMOTHY 1:9
✓ GOD IS THE GOD OF PURPOSE AND DESIGN
✓ AFTER SALVATION,THE NEXT IMPORTANT THING TO YOUR LIFE IS TO WALK IN PURPOSE
✓ THE GREATEST DISCOVERY YOU WILL EVER MAKE IS TO DISCOVER PURPOSE
✓ PURPOSE GIVES MEANING TO LIFE, FOR WITHOUT PURPOSE LIFE HAS NO MEANING
✓ IT IS THE DISCOVERY OF PURPOSE THAT ADD GREAT VALUE TO YOUR LIFE
✓ TO DISCOVER MEANS TO FIND OR LEARN ABOUT SOMETHING YOU DON'T KNOW BEFORE
✓ PURPOSE IS THE ORIGINAL INTENT FOR CREATION OF A THING OR PURPOSE IS THE WHY OR REASON FOR A THING
✓ WHEN PURPOSE IS NOT KNOWN ABUSE IS INEVITABLE
✓ TO DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS YOU MUST ASK YOUR SELF
1.) WHY AM I HERE?
2.) WHAT CAN I DO SO EASILY THAT OTHERS FIND IT DIFFICULT TO DO. JEREMIAH 1:5
IT IS POSSIBLE FOR A MAN TO LIVE ALL THE DAYS OF HIS LIFE WITHOUT DISCOVERING THE INTEND OF GOD CONCERNING HIM
3.) PURPOSE IS CONSTANT. PROVERBS 19:21
PLANS MAY CHANGE BUT PURPOSE IS CONSTANT
IT'S OUR JOB TO DISCOVER OUR PURPOSE..
GOD MEASUREMENTS OUR SUCCESS BY PURPOSE.
✓ AT THE END OF OUR TIME ON EARTH IS IT WHAT WE DO WITH OUR PURPOSE THAT GOD WILL USE TO JUDGE HOW SUCCESSFUL WE ARE
✓ WITHOUT PURPOSE LIFE HAS NO MEANING
✓ WHAT GIVES FULFILLMENT IN LIFE IS NOT THINGS... IT'S GOD FIRST THEN DISCOVERING OF OUR PURPOSE
✓ HOW TO DISCOVER PURPOSE
HABAKUK 2:1-2
✓ VISION IS THE PICTURE OF YOUR PURPOSE
✓ WHEN YOU SEE YOUR PURPOSE THAT'S WHAT WE CALL VISION
✓ GOD DESIGN YOU PERFECTLY FOR YOUR PURPOSE
✓ EVERYTHING YOUR PURPOSE REQUIRES IS INHERENT IN YOU
✓ WHEN YOU DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE,YOU BECOME AWARE OF CERTAIN GIFT AND TALENT IN YOU
✓ WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PURPOSE, WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT GOING INTO MINISTRY
✓ THE BEST PERSON TO ASK ABOUT YOUR PURPOSE IS THE ONE THAT CREATED YOU
PRAYERS: MAY GOD HELP YOU TO FULFILL PURPOSE
HOW TO COMMIT YOURSELF TO FULFILLING GOD'S PURPOSE IN YOUR LIFE
1) WRITE IT DOWN....
WHAT YOU DON'T WRITE DOWN,YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT
✓ GOD DON'T CONSULT YOUR PAST AND PRESENT TO DECIDE YOUR FUTURE, HE HAS DECIDED YOUR FUTURE RIGHT BEFORE YOU ARE BORN
✓ ANYTHING GOD HAS ASKED YOU TO START, HE HAS ALREADY FINISHED
✓ GOD IS THE GOD OF FAITH AND IF YOU KNOW EVERYTHING YOU WON'T WALK BY FAITH
✓ GOD WILL SHOW YOU THE END AND WILL ALSO SHOW YOU THE PROCESS
2) PREPARATION. 2 CHRONICLES 27:6
ALOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO DO IN THE PUBLIC WHAT THEY ARE YET TO DO IN THE SECRET
3) RUN WITH IT...
BEGIN TO TAKE STEP IN THAT DIRECTION
1 CHRONICLES 28:10, 20
✓ THAT YOU ARE CHOSEN IS NOT ENOUGH..YOU HAVE TO DO IT
✓ IF YOU SEE THE BIG PICTURE, START WITH A STEP
✓ YOU HAVE THE BIG PICTURE, BUT TAKE ONE STEP AT A TIME
✓ STOP WAITING FOR THE BIG PLATFORM BEFORE YOU START
4) BE COURAGEOUS..
IT'S TAKES COURAGE TO FULFILL PURPOSE
JOSHUA 1:8
✓ COURAGE IS TAKING STEPS INSPITE OF YOUR FEAR
✓ PURPOSE IS NOT FOR THE FEARFUL
5) MAXIMIZE TIME AND SEASON. VISION AND PURPOSE ARE TIME BOUND
✓ YOUR VISION IS NOT FOREVER
GENESIS 49:27
YOU ARE IN THE MORNING SEASON OF YOUR LIFE
✓ YOU MUST TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR STRENGTH
✓ LEARN THAT SKILLS
✓ READ THAT BOOK
✓ GO TO THAT SEMINAL
✓ INVEST IN LEARNING
✓ WHEN YOUR NIGHT SEASON COMES YOU WILL HAVE ENOUGH TO ENJOY
