FULFILLING PURPOSE IN LIFE

There is difference between fulfilling your purpose in life and fulfilling God’s purpose for your life. These are two different statements that mean two different things, but many are getting it wrong, thinking they are both same thing applicable. No! These are opposite and never can be the same. The prosperity preachers and motivational speakers, inspired by Satan, are doing havoc to many people by misleading them. Here is a clear clarification:

Fulfilling Your Purpose -To fulfil you purpose is to seek to be successful in life in the eyes of the people. You don’t need to be born again, you don’t need to live for God, and you don’t need to follow God’s leading, you just discover what you want or like by your PASSION, PLEASURE AND POWER and pursue it.

Fulfilling your purpose is pursuing your will, what you like or any opportunity that comes your way. Most time our purposes are opposite to God’s purpose for our lives, our ways and wills are often contrary to God’s. You can be successful before men but at the same time an figure of failure before God, you may be rich financially and materially but poor spiritually; you may be very popular on earth but unknown to heaven. You may be working hard to fulfil your purpose and working contrary to God’s purpose for your life.

Many are wonderfully fulfilling their purpose in life but unfortunately working against God’s purpose for their dear lives – for two reasons here:

First, your desired purpose or passion may be sinful or unscriptural. For example, God does not create anybody for the purpose of entertainment in life – comedy, secular music and movies, etc. All the people in entertainment are working hard against God’s purpose for their lives and they are missing God’s purpose for their lives already. You know why? Because entertainers are sugar of the world, to sweet like sugar, ministering to human feeling and emotion causing spiritual and moral diarrheal, but every genuine child of God is a salt of the world, to season like salt, ministering to human soul and spirit for outward transformation.

Entertainment, sinful professions or products, makeup services and many of their kinds are ungodly purpose and pursuit in life. There are many purposes and passions in life that are sinful and go against God’s will, that is the reason a child of God cannot just fulfill a purpose but God’s purpose.

Secondly, your desired purpose may be good and scriptural but not God’s will for your life. When you surrender your life to Jesus Christ, you accept Him as the Lord, Director, Commander, Controller, and Judge of your life; it is no longer your wish, will, personal desire or passion again, but His will and purpose and plan for your life. You may desire to be a medical doctor but God may say, “No, you must be a lawyer, because that is my purpose for you.” And if you have truly surrendered your life to Jesus, what will be your response, “Not, my will but your will Oh Lord!”

As a child of God, you must seek to know God’s purpose for your life, why He created you, and fulfill it. We must seek the will of God on what, where and when in every aspect of our lives. It is not hard to discover God’s purpose for your life as long you are a child of God, but it is hard for many to follow God’s purpose because it clashes with their own personal purpose.

The only way you can live a fulfilled life on earth is by fulfilling the purpose for which God created you, the only way you can do that is by first surrendering your life to Jesus Christ and be transformed, because you must become one of the sheep before you can follow the Shepherd, not a goat.

Are you fulfilling God’s purpose for your life or you are fulfilling your own purpose in life? Are your pursuits in life scriptural or worldly? And are they directed by God or by yourself? You are created by God for His good purpose, don’t let today pass by without discovering and doing it, do not leave this world without fulfilling God’s purpose to the letter, or why will you meet Him empty handed?

Surrender to Him, seek Him and serve Him.

“Everyone who is called by My name, Whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.” Isaiah 43:7

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10

God bless you
