Purpose – The Fire That Keeps Us Going!

“Your future is worth God dying for, imagine you living for it” – Dr Myles Munroe

A four year old girl had the below conversation with her mum:

Baby: why is the moon round?
Mum: God created it that way my dear.
Baby:  So God created it like that?
Mum: Yes and for a purpose and He does that for everything He made.
Baby:  You mean the purpose God created Dad is to go to the office daily too…
Mum:  No my dear dad had to go to the office to earn a living!

Wow! What a thought from a child.

What has existed first without thought?
What makes you wake up every morning without an alarm?
What can you do selflessly even without pay?

Before you answer the questions please permit me to share some of my little discoveries:

There is something so powerful that:
§   It keeps you focused &  gets you going
§   It keeps you from distractions
§   It ignites passion, create enthusiasm
§   It opens up your destiny
§   Differentiates the relevant from the irrelevant
§   Determines your company, gets the right people in your boat
§   Defines your relationships
§   Makes you an influencer
§   Gives you reason to live
§   Turns labour to joy
§   It makes you overcome setbacks
§   It makes you know you when you are there!

That thing is PURPOSE. An anticipated outcome that is intended.
Remember this:
§   Purpose is the end that makes the beginning of a thing worthwhile.
§   God is a God of purpose.
§   Every man has a purpose. It’s in you.
§   Purpose can be discovered.

While on the journey remember plans may change but purpose does not.  “We humans keep brainstorming options and plans, but God's purpose prevails” Prov 19:21

Always think forward!

August – New Beginnings

Dear Friend,
Everyone desires something new
Everyone desires a unique start
No matter how bad it might have been for you in the past
No matter how inglorious your past might be
The best of the past is just yesterday
It is behind you. Woowh!

Are you dispirited; Shake off that excess luggage
Are you hurt or brokenhearted move on; rejoice!
Have you tried and tried and almost giving up hope
Please try one more time, just a little push…
To you that is having the best of times
Greater times still lie ahead

Friend you should never give up or cave in
The whole world awaits you
A generation can’t rise without you
With The God of New Beginnings’
Be sure you are not alone
He knows about it all; He’s been there by your side
He will definitely give you a new hope, new joy and new territories.

Always Think Forward!
