It's being long I made a post due to some factors but I pray God would bless our lives with this piece.
Let's start by defining some terms...
PURPOSE: Purpose is a reason for which something or Someone is being created or formed.
TALENT: Talent also known as skill is a natural aptitude Someone has to do something. It is sometimes known as gift.
VISION: Vision is the revelation of God's purpose for ones life gotten by prayers, fasting and studying the word.
AMBITION: Ambition is a strong desire or drive to achieve a goal set by one.
Proverbs 16:4a says "the Lord has made everything for its purpose.
".Sometimes people confuses purpose with talent. You can see a child who is good with drawing and for That reason would go to study Fine art in school. Not all talents are pointers to purpose.
Talent is mainly suppose to add to your life,mentally or financially but your purpose is meant for other people; your generation. If you go about being established in your skill or gift and it has no impact in your generation, you are a misfit. Now let's take singing for an example, God can give one the gift of singing to bless his/her generation,it could be the person's purpose too.
Gifts that are pointers to purpose are:
- Singing
- Gifts of the Holyspirit etc
WAYS TO DISCOVER GOD'S PURPOSE OF ONE'S LIFE.
- Go to God because he is your manufacturer and only him can give you the manual
- Go with sincerity to hear from him I.e don't give him suggestions or assumption.
- Remain on the altar of prayers and fasting.
- Continually studying of the word of God is of necessity
- Maintain a personal relationship with him So he can speak to you anytime.
- Ask for the spirit of obedience and humility.
- Sometimes God might not tell us What we wish to hear but he would always guide us through it So this is where our faith is required.
Proverb 29:18a says "where there is no vision, the people perish".
God would readily confirm his word So don't fail to ask for clarification when you feel lost. When God gives you a vision, he gives you directions and provisions. So don't try to fulfill his purpose for your life with your common sense.
May God bless this word in our heart.
Upvote,and resteem if you were blessed.
