Everything on earth has a purpose. The birds of the air, the cell phones, the tables and chairs etc, everything was as a result of purpose. If the inanimate things in life were made for a purpose, then humans as well must serve a purpose.
Purpose is the main reason for creating a thing. It is the original intent for manufacturing a product. Purpose is the answer to questions like: Who you are? What you are? Why am I different? What on earth was I born to accomplish? Purpose gives you a reason why you were born and what you were made to accomplish on earth.
No life on earth came as an accident. It was already work out. If life was an accident, it would have being a total chaos. But studying nature for instance, you would notice an order. Like the raising and setting of the sun.
So many people wonder why they were made, some are confused of who they are. Understanding purpose will reveal to you who you are and what you were born to accomplish. It is the key to lasting satisfaction and true fulfillment.
Dr David Ogbueli in his book, “The Essence of Life” revealed a striking idea about purpose. He said, “Every man’s purpose is people oriented and problem oriented. Your God-given purpose always involves people and problems. It’s about meeting people’s needs and solving life’s problems. If you really want to know if what you call your purpose is a true one, then you must check to see if it affects the lives of the people positively or if it solves a problem that will make life easier for someone else. You are not designed to live for yourself. At the same time, your purpose is not intended to solve your personal problems. It is designed for other people’s benefit not yours. Every problem in life is waiting for the right person who is cut our and wired to solve it – to rise up and fulfill their purpose.”
The benefits of understanding purpose are it gives you a reason to live and to live effectively. It helps you to understand who you are, why you are and what you are made to achieve on earth. Author and preacher Myles Munroe stated that “The greatest tragedy is not death, but a life without purpose.” Without purpose life has no meaning, and any idea that has no meaning is a failed experiment.
What is your purpose? What were you born to achieve? What were you wired to solve? What are the hidden potentials and abilities the creator endowed you with? What on earth were you created to accomplish? These deep questions are a hint to understanding you are and your purpose.
