Why were you born?

What is the purpose of your life?

One of the saddest fact about life is that so many come and exit  without really knowing why they came here .Is  life  meant only for  the hard labours,the bills we have to pay,the amount of money we have to amass,the many friends we have to make?Is it in the degrees we  have to pursue ?Is it in fame , popularity or beauty?

Life should not be a mystery to us,it should never be a riddle we cannot uncover.Though we might not know everything at once but bit by bit we  should come to  understanding .

Every life has a purpose.Every person has a reason why he or she is here.Nobody has  a superior life than another. No one has a better purpose than others.No life was brought for nothing. Every life has a reason for existence.

Why were you born?

When God created man ,He gave him some duty.

1.Till the garden

2.Rule over all creation

3.Eat fruits from all the garden except from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

4.Be fruitful and multiply

5.Naming of the animals

We need to keep it very dearly in our heart that it is only man that was created in God's image and likeness ,it is only man that God used to visit in the cool of the day.

 Therefore after the fall it was man that had to be saved.You cannot find your purpose without being born again,washed by the divine blood,filled with the Holy Spirit and baptized in water by immersion.You must also live a holy life to keep the close fellowship with God.You need a lifestyle prayer,fasting and living according to the word.

How then do you find your purpose?Where did Adam find it?When you live very close to God in your heart you will be able to hear Him on a daily basis and therefore you will be able to accomplish so much of what is needed of you from HIM.You will not live your life guessing or going the wrong direction or doing the opposite of what He requires of you.

When  the Holy Spirit is  living inside of you ,you have God in you for it is written your bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit.

There are five ways to know exactly  the reason for your life.

1.What drives you?

2.What is in you name?

3.What is your call?

4.What are you passionate about?

5.What instruction has God given you ?

Moses wanted the people of Israel free,that is why he killed an Egyptian and fled into the wilderness.At this particular  time, the in born purpose written like a DNA in his heart  was in control,but he had to flee into the wilderness and stayed there forty years before the real call came.It is good to notice that his call was corresponding to what was already in him.Though he needed the burning bush experience to create a vivid picture  of what was needed and also to empower him to encounter Pharaoh(darkness).  The burning bush experience was commissioning time ,it was the anointing time,it was empowerment time.

Most importantly,Moses call  and desire was also answering the people's needs .They wanted to be free from slavery.God wanted them free ,Moses longed for the day he would see them free and the time was over ripe.According to the timings given to Abraham when the covenant was made they were to be slaves for four hundred years.

Your purpose aligns itself with four major things:

i)the inner drive

ii)God's call 

iii)people's need 

iv)the right time

Everybody is not Moses, so how else will a person know their purpose.Another powerful way to know your purpose is through having your spiritual ears open to instructions from God. As long as you can hear the inner voice of the Holy Spirit you can be able to know exactly what you are suppose to do. 

Joshua was instructed by God to be strong and courageous after Moses had died,this was not to comfort him after losing his master but it was defining his mission.He was to take people to the promise land and that was Canaan but on the way he had to be a commander and lead the people to conquer.So be strong and courageous meant he was a warrior,a fighter. God gave him this instructions in the beginning to guide him.The book of the law was also not to depart from his mouth. Joshua 1:8-9.

 King David was a fighter but he also liked to play the harp.Before he was anointed-commissioned he was a shepherd boy,killing bears and lions .His passion defined him ,he was a fighter from childhold and fought as a king for almost his entire life.Remember he never lost any battle.He also liked singing and that is why almost a half of Psalms is written by him.What were you most passionate about in you childhood?The things you used to do by choice,the things you did naturally without being coerced are a pointer to your purpose. 

Were you born in a Christian family?Have you ever had of some parents who get the name of their children from the dream?Before Jesus was born his name was given to Joseph in a dream .He was to be called Jesus because He would save his people from their sins .Matthews 1:21 .You name if it was given under the direction of the Lord most often define you.Even John the baptist name came from God through an angel.All  the names in  the bible have meaning. What is the meaning of your name?

Since some of us were not born from Christian families the names we were given were our parents favorite leaders or soccer players.

Samson accomplished his purpose,he was born a nazarite to fight and fighting he fought even unto the day of his death.Actually he killed more people on the day of his death more than his life time.Before he was born an angel gave instructions on who he would be and how he was to be.Your purpose is defined before your birth ,it is therefore your duty to find out what exactly is the reason for your birth.

It is also worth noticing that if you do not find your purpose, which is your duty that you were created  to perform here on earth,no one else will do it for you.What is undone remains undone. 

King David wanted to build the temple but God did not allow him,he was given two reasons ,your hands are full of blood and I have chosen your son to do it.1Chronicles28:6.

You can not do everything ,you only have a specific,unique and special purpose that God wants to do with you.The earlier you know it the better.

Lastly direct call from God ,gives you a clear reason and instruction for your purpose.

You are special,created for a unique purpose.
