THE WORD OF GOD : UNDERSTANDING YOUR PURPOSE
Prophet Nevine Hlulani Kubayi
Every individual is born with and for a purpose and it is important to know and understand it. Not knowing your purpose can make you make a lot of mistakes in life. God created every individual for a purpose, some your purpose is not your family but the family that you will get married to, some your purpose is not your children but is where you are going to marry. Every individual has a unique and special purpose.
How do you identify and understand your purpose?
1. Know your passion.
Your purpose mainly aligns with your passion. The things that you are mostly burning for happens to be your purpose. (Not things that lead you to sin.) Purpose has the ability to push you to the right place in the right time.
Judges 16 : 30
God created Samson as a weapon to destroy the Philistines - Samson’s purpose. The bible says that Samson was passionate about falling in love with daughters of the Philistine to a point where his parents asked him if there’s no other daughter among his tribe that he can marry (Judges 14 : 1 - 3). He was so passionate about marrying a Philistine to a point where when they took his first wife who was a Philistine he went out and caught 300 foxes tied them tail by tail and set them on fire and sent them to burn the field of the Philistine as a massage (Judges 15 : 1 - 6) - instead of moving on and marrying another wife he choose to cause distraction (fulling his purpose unknowingly).
2. The area in which the devil fights you most.
The first day Samson entered Timnah ( a village where the Philistines were located) a lion came roaring at him wanting to kill him - this shows that once you take a step towards your purpose the devil will fighting you . The devil knew that when Samson enters the land of Timnah his purpose will be fulfilled. For example, when you are destined to be a kingdom financer the devil will make sure that you are blocked financially.
The second time Samson entered Gaza thousand soldiers wanted to kill him but with a jawbone he killed thousand soldiers (Judges 15 : 14 ), the other time a bear appeared wanting to kill him - when he enters other camps and villages nothing happens, the devil doesn’t get triggered and nothing threatens his life. The devil fights for you in your area of purpose.
3. Prayer.
When you are a person who prays, you understand your purpose better. Teach yourself to be a prayerful, prayer opens your eyes, it helps you to see beyond, it helps you understand things that other people don’t understand, it pushes you to the right direction, it helps us to see the true intentions of people in our lives, it helps us to differentiate between love and lust, it builds you, it builds your capacity, it brings out the best vision of yourself, it makes your vision clear.
4. Take a step.
You will never understand your purpose sitting down, you need to take a step, make a move. It doesn’t matter how many times you fail, just keep on trying, you will find your right ground. If Ester decided to stay in her father’s house she wouldn’t have turned out to be the queen we are reading about today. Something are in you taking a step, your purpose won’t just come to you, you need to take a step to discover it.
