5 Steps Christians Can Fulfil God's Purpose For Their Lives. by FromZeroToHero(m): 6:28am On Feb 19, 2017
It’s simple: We don’t chase after things we have no desire to obtain. Therefore, our pursuit of anything is ample proof of valid desire. But desire alone doesn’t bring success. We must have a clearly defined strategy.

Defining a successful strategy is one of the most challenging exercises a man faces. Even Jesus warned of this process in Luke 14:28-30 (NIV):
“Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.”

God leads us in steps, not by leaps. Most men want to jump into their success, yet a “leap of faith” is not a biblical concept. If we’re going to fulfill our purpose, we must take steps to do it.

Here are five important steps you can take now to fulfill your purpose.

Step 1.
You must decide for yourself what is worthy of your pursuit. No one else should decide for you. You may receive counsel from others, but you should make the decision; otherwise you will be unfulfilled in your pursuit. There are countless stories of men who achieved great success yet remained unfulfilled because they were living another person’s dream.

Step 2.
Go to your Source to understand your potential. God spoke to the land and said, “Produce!” He spoke to the seas and said, “Teem with creatures!” He spoke to Himself and said, “Let Us create man!” Only God has a complete understanding of why you were created and what your potential is. You may have a hint or a glimpse of this understanding, but you will never know complete fulfillment until you fully know the Source of your potential.

Step 3.
Write down on paper or develop a vision board of every dream, goal or desire that is important to you. Write down anything you want to become, do or possess. This is extremely important.

Step 4.
Narrow your focus to the top three pursuits. After you’ve written down what you want to become, do or possess, develop actions steps you can take now to create momentum toward those things. The big vision will come from a series of small decisions.

Step 5.
Be aware that God will network you with others to help you get where you are going. People are God’s hands on this earth. You may find two different types of people will come into your life—one a person you have the ability to help, the other a person who has the ability to help you. Recognizing and discerning these people is vital.

Finally,
You will never achieve your purpose in life unless you become strategically motivated to pursue it. Make plans right now to get alone with God, pursue Him and listen for His affirming voice to clearly define your purpose, write it down, develop action steps and get moving.

It is very inspiring. I see, it look more like action. No time for prayers there.

Garbage in, garbage out.

You are what you are.

But I find out that THIS LIFE plays different tunes, and people dance differently.

It is not always like that.

My prayer is that has will continue to work for success in our endeavour, success will locate us. Amen.

Got nothing to say about this...

Meanwhile I tried commenting on an Islamic thread and I was been asked if I was a muslim...

Why is the afore said not applied to Christian threads?

Thanks for this great work.

If the life of any man will amount anything in God, the point two must become his first focus. God said : I know the thought I think towards you....... Ish 29:11.

Never put the carth before the horse.

There are over 5000 gods men have created and they have different abodes e.g Vahalla, Asgard, Mount Olympus, orun...

So which god should we be talking about and how can you independently verify your god's existence beyond your feelings and unverifiable holy books!

What independently verifiable evidence do you have that Jehovah is the true god as opposed to the gods of your ancestors that reigned before the Christian missionaries forced Jehovah and Jesus to them?

Where is grace in your write up? Please forget about all those motivational speeches.

The very purpose of every believer to do the will of GOD. See the book of John4:34;
34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.


Matthew 7:21, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 12:50, For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”


The very purpose of GOD for every believer (born again) is Mark 3: 13- 15,
13 Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. 14 He appointed twelve[a] that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach 15 and to have authority to drive out demons.

1) That you might accept Christ Jesus as your LORD and personal saviour

2) That you might be his disciple all the days of your life allowing Him live His very life in you

3) That He might send you out to preach his word in your words, thoughts and deeds.
