THE LIFE OF PURPOSE\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The most important day in a lifetime is not when you passed out into this side of eternity (your birthday). Neither is it the day you find love, get a job, make the first million dollars. It is the day you find \u201cPURPOSE\u201d.
\nIt is almost impossible, to find your purpose outside of the confines of your relationship with God. That is to say after you find God, you must uncover your purpose in Him.
\nJesus Christ, in all His Majesty and Divinity was brought into this world to fulfill a purpose, which we all know. It tells me that God is intentional about every soul creeping upon the surface of this earth. Okay maybe, someone might say Jesus Christ is a biased example. How about John the Baptist, Jeremiah, Moses, Samuel, and you, yes you!
\nIn this piece we\u2019re discussing the Characteristics of Your Purpose. Determiners that will bring to bare your purpose. Imagine you\u2019re in a test laboratory right, today we\u2019re putting purpose to the test by putting various chemicals into a test tube to ascertain purpose. (Hehe I think I should consider changing profession, a scientist won\u2019t be a bad fit). Let\u2019s cut to the chase loves….<\/p>\n

1. Everyone has a purpose, and your purpose was pre-ordained: <\/strong><\/em>
\nJeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
\nAs I have said in earlier posts, God never creates us by chance. He is not a God of Probabilities. He\u2019s a God of certainty and intentionality. If you believe He made you, believe He made you for a purpose, and that purpose was aforethought before your existence. Find that purpose in Him and accomplish it, and trust me, you\u2019ll reap benefits right here on earth and in eternity. Della Reese was an African-American Actress, Singer and Preacher whose career spanned over seven decades. She\u2019s famously known for her role in TOUCHED BY ANGEL as Tess. She passed into eternity on November 19th 2017 at Peace in her home. She was 86. You\u2019d wonder why the biography of a woman I never met physically. I grew up watching this woman every Sunday evening and heaven bares me witness, that she always brought a ray of light in my heart at the end of every episode. Inasmuch as I knew it was scripted, I believed that indeed, God exists, and angels are real. That God loves us and wishes for us to turn to Him always. She together with Monica and Andrew taught me that when you really believe in God, it gives you a courage, a confidence that enables you to meet the things coming. When I learnt of her passing, the only thing I said was, an angel is going back home.
\nMy point is, this woman\u2019s role in the cbs drama touched many lives, and renewed the love of God in the hearts of many, through acting as an angel. Yes Acting.
\nAt the end of it all, your purpose must conform to the will of God, which leads to my next point.<\/p>\n

2. Your Purpose should be aligned to God\u2019s ultimate Will or Purpose for Mankind:<\/strong> <\/em>the ultimate purpose of your life, is to expand the kingdom of God, of course through diverse means. If you feel you\u2019ve found your purpose, ask yourself how does my purpose help in the Kingdom? If it doesn\u2019t, then I\u2019m afraid it\u2019s all in your head.
\nYou cannot fulfill God\u2019s purpose for your life while focusing on your own plans- Rick Warren
\nI have a personal testimony in connection with this quote. When I started The Phenomenal Woman Blog and Network, one day I was setting out plans and all. I found that I was clueless. All I knew was Phenomenal Woman had to be established. I was frustrated so I just lay on my bed, attempting to sleep. At that point I fell into a trance, and I heard a voice tell me, FOCUS, BUT NOT ON YOURSELF, FOCUS ON ME.<\/p>\n

3. Your Purpose is Exclusive to You:<\/strong><\/em>
\nNot even one person has another master key to your purpose except you. No one has the copyright or patent. The reason you need to stay true to yourself is that in being what you\u2019re not, the whole of Humanity, especially the body of Christ, misses out on your authenticity and uniqueness. Purpose, like fingerprints are distinct and are never a match to any other persons\u2019.<\/p>\n

4. Your Purpose is Relevant:<\/strong><\/em>
\nDue to the exclusive nature and distinctiveness of your purpose, it is relevant. The relevance of your purpose should not be undermined or intimated by the existence of other purposes.
\nI bake, but there are a lot of bakeries in Accra, not to even talk of Ghana and the world. Does that deter me from my passion ? No, I believe I have my market out there. There are people who will prefer my cakes and crave for my taste so I continued to thrive. In business, it\u2019s called Competition, but I will call it relevance for the sake of our topic.
\nEven in blogging and doing what I do with regards to young women, there are a lot of networks springing up day in day out but I believe I have a peculiar and distinct purpose which is exclusive to just the Phenomenal Woman Blog and Network, that is Relevance.<\/p>\n

5. Your Purpose Determines Your Company:<\/strong><\/em>
\nBad company corrupts good morals. What has light got to do with darkness? Be ye not unequally yoked together with an unbeliever.
\nYour purpose directs you to the people you meet and associate with. You cannot be at one end of the extreme, and associate with the other end of the extreme. In fact, it will come naturally. Your purpose moves you towards like-minded people, but you\u2019ll also have to make the conscious effort of engaging with people of like-mindedness.<\/p>\n
