Seven Principles of Purpose
God's Purpose is the key to Our Fulfillment
God desires that every man find his purpose and fulfill it. If a man wants to know who He is in order to live fully in that reality, he must first understand God's principles of purpose. He has to learn these anchors for living from the word of God. Otherwise, he will fall into a TRAP of confusion, where many of us are right now.Proverbs 19: is a foundational scripture in regard to understanding God's purpose : " Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the lord's purpose that prevails ." This crucial truth tells us that we can make all the plans we want to in life, but if we don't make our plan's according to the purpose for which God created us, then our plan's will be in vain.We have only one life, and we have to make that life count if we are ever to fulfill our purpose..
How Are You Using Your Life ?
What value do you place on your life? Do you know that one ofthe most dangerous things in life is wasting time? It is said that time is a commmodity that you never are able to recapture. Once you've lost time, it's gone forever. What you've lived, you can never relive. So the best thing to do with time it to use it in a way that wil bring the greatest results. The best way, the only way to use time effectively is to do what you are supposed to do when you are suppposed to do it. Effectiveness dooes not mean just doing good things, but rather doing the right thing.
Fulfilling Your Purpose
Have you ever had a new car break down on your right in the middle of traffic? You got out and kicked one the tires. You just wanted to curse at it because the car wasn't fulfilling it's purpose. It was brand-new. It looked sleek. It had a nice paint job. But you couldn't drive it. What made you angry at the car? It's simple: the car purpose was to transport you, to make you mobile; but the car was not taking you anywhere.No matter how great the car looked, it wasn't right; it wasn't fulfilling its purpose.
Many men are like that car. They're stopped in the middle of traffic, and they don't even realize it. They're spending their lives doing things that look good, but they don't know God or they knowmuch too little about Him
ans His ways. We have realized that good deeds are not a substitute for rightness. Knowing and fulfilling your purpose is the only way to do what is right.Discovering our purpose enables us to stop wasting our lives and start fulfilling our potential. However, then we must be careful not to become sidetracked along the way.Howevere, whether people try to distract us out of the best or worst of intentions, we must learn to remain steadfast in the purpose for which we were created.
Principles For Finding Your Purpose
God is the Purpose
God is a purposeful Being. He has a purpose for everthing He has ever done.
He established His purpose before He created what was needed to fulfill it.
What He plans is intentional, meaningful, and guaranteed to succeed. God has purposes that He determines beforehand and then carries out. These include plans for humanity as a whole and palns for males and females who carry out humanity's purposes.To bring this to personal level, this includes plans for you and me.
God created everything with a purpose in mind, and He also created it with the ability to fulfill its purpose.Everything God has made is the way it is because of why it was created.The "Wh " dictates its makeup. The purpose of a thing determines its nature, its design, and its features. You don't make something until you know what you want and why you want it. Are you aware that if your big toe wee cut off, you would lose your balance and fall down ? You probably never think about your big toe until you stub it. then it just seems like an annoyance. Yet it keeps you standing up when you lean forward. Your big toe isn't there just for fun. Thank God for big toe.
God's purpose requires you and I together in cooperation to acccomplish a mutual vision.
Not Every Purpose Is Known To Us
Although everyone and everything on earth has a purpose, this does not mean that we are aware of their purposes. When human beings as a race turned their backs on God and His ways, as we learn about in Genesis 3, they ended up losing their knowledge ogf God's intent for themselves and the world. Rejecting God was the equivalent of buying asophisticated and intricate piece of equipment and then throwing awy the user's manual. likewise, humanity has not respected the fact that God's creation and His directions for living were established for a specific reason and that, if that purposee continues to be abondoned, Human beings will never function properly.
If you know the purpose of something, you will misuse or abuse it in some way. That's it is possible to be sincerely wrong, it's possible to be seriously wrong, it's possible to be faithfully wrong. You are serious but you are wrong because you don't know the purpose for the thing you're involved in.People abuse tings because they just don't know their purposes or because they disregard those purposes.When Males and Females don't know God's intentions, they end up abusing each other, even if they don't mean to. If Couples need to solve their current identity crisis and fulfill their purposes sa husband and wife they must rediscover God's plan for them.
Ifyou want to know the purpose of something, don't ask the thing itself. Why It didn't plan, design, or build itself. Only the Manufacturer knows the why and how of his porduct, no one else truly does.That is why he can claim perfect relationship with his product.
Therefore if you're going something the right person to tell is your creator God, He knows how to solve your problem, He knows the source of your problem and He will remove it.God knew exactly what He wanted when He thought of the Human.Remember that He created both
Male and Female after He had decided what each should be in order to fulfill His purpose and plans and that He designed them accordingly.If you have any questions about why you are here, you should check the manual given to us by our Designer and Manufacturer who created us:The Bible.
If you remember this principle all your life, you'll be safe,before you buy something, check to see who made it. We need to understand the mind of our Maker. How do we do this? By learning how he thinks. The only way for us to succeed is by discoring and living in the purposes of our Maker, by undergoing a transformation in the way we think about ourselves based on His original intentions for us.That transformation comes by the renewal of our Hearts.We are so special to God that He sent His only Son to die for us. There must be unique about each one of us for God to want us receive salvation so that we can fulfill the purpose for which He gave us life. We need to seek Him earnestly in order to discover that purpose " You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart " {Jer 29:13}.
You can never be totally and completely satisfied until you find your purpose and then live it. You cannot do what you're supposedto do until you discover what you are supposed to do. And if you do what you're not supposed to do, you're not going to be fulfilled.You're wasting time.You are abusing your life, Stop it right now. The Lord would prefer that we follow Him and know our purpose all our lives. That is why the word of God says very strongly to young people, " Remember your creator in the days of your youth "{ Eccl 12:1}. The Bible is saying to us " Remember God now, not when you've finished partying and ruining your health with drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, so that you say, "Well I'm sick now I'd better go find God." Don't wait until after you have messed up your life to remember God.
God wants you to remember Him early so that He can set you on course for your entire life.
