You must have heard this saying, “Jack of all trade, master of known.” This describes individuals who are quick to try their hands on ventures based on the results others may be achieving. They allowed their life’s compass to be directed by what others are doing or saying. A life lived this way lacks conviction and will change course at the slightest obstacle. This is not purposeful life.
Let me give you another scenario of someone who finds it difficult to prioritise its time or resources or finds it difficult to choose from several options. The confusion that comes with this is an indication that the person is yet to grab the purpose of their life. I believe that you have made at least 60% of your decisions when your purpose is clearly defined. Because every decision you are to make is to be brought before the high court of purpose for judgement.
Discovering your life’s purpose simply means to unravel the reason for your life, that is what your life is made to accomplish.
Our scriptural text of departure is John 18:36-37.
Jesus said His kingdom is not of this world is the reason why his servants are not fighting to keep him alive. In verse 37 he said “for this purpose I was born…” That is a powerful statement, don’t you think? Can you declare boldly like Jesus, this is the purpose I was born?
