Ecclesiastes 3:1. Ephesians 4:11-12, 2 Corinthians 12:14-20

So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers

for the perfecting of the saints. The body of Christ has many parts but all sharing the same goal to perfect the body of Christ. This is also the same with our natural bodies and corporate bodies; the various arms/ departments all play different parts but are very important for the work and purpose which we have been born or called for.  What the hands can do the eyes can’t do, what the nose can do the heart can’t do, showing that we all have unique features and abilities which make us function within our jurisdiction.

We are all created with a unique purpose and a mission on earth and when we perform that purpose, we are guaranteed better success. The joy and fulfilment of completing your race and winning is amazing. In Ecclesiastes 3:1, we are informed that “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:”

God has made us in the likeness of his image. What he is, so I am. We have the ability to create, create the life we want. It is possible but this must be done in the confines of your purpose. Run the race within your lane (boundaries). When you enter another person’s lane, you limit the power of God to work in your life. So God knows that Sarah did Mass Communication and she is working ats a tuition coordinator at Unza, while managing Rimor Tours but he also knows that in the next 2 years she will be married to the man of her dreams and also open other businesses; This is an example of the plan that God might have set for Sarah. Then now in the middle of this plan God set before Sarah, she meets a friend who runs a boutique or car wash business, and Sarah without consulting God, she quickly dumps her work at Unza and Rimor Tours because she feels she is not making enough money and starts the business which after a year crumbles. In the middle of her frustrations, she ends up even going to wrong places looking for solution and maybe even meet someone whom she settles for. It is possible to be in the wrong place and meet wrong people, or people you were not supposed to meet them. This is why "Your Everyday should be for God to direct your path so that you at the right place at the right time".

From Sarah’s story, you discover that it is very catastrophic when you run a race without aligning it with the purpose of God or when you are running a race in other people’s lane (race track, limitations, confines.  Just like when people are racing and you shamble into the boundary of another, you cause catastrophe.

When born into the earth we are released with a special unction and that is meant to usher us into our destinies not fate. “To every purpose there is a provision” is one statement I have so much confidence in. God does not release us into the earth without providing; firstly, you are born through the union of two people, your parents. This is the first provision and throughout your life with the food, clotehs shelter, air, he continues to provides for you throughout your life, in order for you to run a smooth race (your life’s purpose) within your race track.

 So another lesson to take home is that when you go outside of God’s will (plan and purpose for your life), you are fighting a losing battle because you leave behind your protection and shield. Actually when God says this is how your life should be, and you now start making your own plans, you are disobeying God. We all know that many consequences that come out of disobeying the master of life, life becomes difficult: “It’s like you now just exist believing in fate, instead of living in your destiny” 

The Bible is simple if you are willing and obedient you will eat the best of the land (Isaiah 1:19), submit yourself to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you (James 4:7). If you doing things of the devil, (living outside the kingdom and his purpose for your life) How can you resist the devil? How can you fight the devil in this new purpose or journey you have picked for yourself?  Be wise submit yourself to God and he will definitely guide you to your destiny. If you already know your purpose on, endeavour to live within your purpose and your life in due course will succeed because your reward is in doing that which you were called for. 

I will write about purpose soon..
