Discovering our purpose in life as Christians

God had love and a purpose when He created us. It is important for us to remember that each of us has a unique purpose and is special in God's eyes. As His masterpiece, we are made to accomplish the good deeds He has planned for us (See Ephesians 2:10). The majority of people pass away unaware of their purpose on earth, which is a grave mistake. We frequently believe that meeting our needs is the only purpose of our existence. While all of those things are worthwhile, our primary objectives also involve being humbly human and mindful of the needs of others.

We are called to put the needs of those around us above our own self-serving goals. By doing this, we fulfill our mission as His disciples and imitate the characteristics of Christ (see Philippians 2:3–4). God sent us on earth to carry out his mission after creating us. It's similar to being hired by a company based on your qualifications, and the manager needs you to complete daily tasks in order for you to be paid at the end of the day. It is your responsibility at that company (Earth) to ascertain your reason for hiring. Depending on the gifts that God has bestowed upon us, each of us has a specific role to fulfill while here on Earth. According to Matthew 6:33, God promises to meet our needs as long as we make seeking His kingdom and righteousness our top priorities.

Here are ways to find God’s purpose for your life:

Seek direction from God's Word and the Holy Spirit, who will always lead you in the right direction.
Know who God is and understand his everyday language through studying the word of God, worship, and meditation.
We have to be prepared to let go of our personal goals and aspirations. In order to do this, we must surrender our will and accept God's plan for our lives.
It takes trust, submission, and a readiness to let go of your own goals and plans in order to follow His.
Walking in God’s purpose is not always easy, and there may be obstacles along the way. However, with faith, determination, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you can overcome any obstacle and fulfill the unique calling that God has for your life.
The duration of the wait shouldn't depress you because God has excellent timing and greater plans for you than you can ever imagine (see Jeremiah 29:11).
God takes time to mold and polish us, just as a potter needs time to shape and polish clay.
You'll be astounded by the wonderful things God has in store for you when the time is right, and the Holy Spirit will make your purpose clear to you.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

Warning from God: Take your calling very seriously!!!

Imagine the consequences if Jesus Christ had not embraced the mission on earth that he was given by the father (John 6:38). Imagine what could have happened to millions of souls. Consider what could have happened to the Israelites if Moses had never taken his calling seriously when God called him to deliver the Israelites from Egypt (Exodus 3:10). God has invested something in you, and it takes you to pray and discover what he has invested in you. Some of you God gave you the anointing of healing, but you aren’t even aware. Millions of souls are lost out there, and this situation requires you and me to take our calling very seriously. So many people are dying in hospitals from cancer, diabetes, and other diseases, while you are ignoring doing the will of the father, and you expect things to go well with you. Certainly, not everyone is destined for the same path, as God has assigned us various missions and duties. The key here is to discover your true identity. When you don't take ...

Wait upon the LORD

Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
