COMMITMENT TO A LIFE OF PURPOSE - PART 2

 COMMITMENT TO A LIFE OF PURPOSE - PART 2

Earlier in the week, we began to look into understanding "Commitment to Purpose". And we have been made to understand that To livw without Purpose is to live worthlessly. When God created man, He had reason for this. Today, we will look more into the topic. We shall be focusing on the benefits we derived when we stay committed to our Purpose and also the areas of Commitment when it comes to our Purpose. To live a successful life, one of the driver's of success is Commitment. Your ability to stay with the goal; your ability to keep your eyes on the prize; your ability to commit all towards full realization of that issue of concern. 

 In the world today, distraction is almost everywhere and that is why it is very hard to be a master of something or anything. For instance you want to learn a skill, during the course of you learning that skill, someone introduces you to another skill telling you that there is money in it and that dropping your current training to learn this new one will fetch you millions or billions in a short time. Then sheepishly as a person who has no Purpose or reason why He is on a path, you drop what you are doing to focus on this thing; and again another comes, and you leave this also undo e, running from pillar to post. Why? Because you lack Commitment to Purpose. Such an individual has not found where his true calling lies. It is not likely that someone with a good reason or who knows the reason why He has engaged a thing be drifted as this hypothetical individual. As a balloon is driven by the wind, so is a life without Purpose. Such a person can engage all these trades and yet is master of none,.

The only way to live successfully in this world is to get a vision for your life and stay committed to it. Paul said something in 1Corinthians 6:12 "all things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient...". Paraphrased, I have the right to do anything, but not everything is beneficial. I will not be ruled by just anything. Life is too complex for you not to have a vision for your life. 

What then is Vision?

Vision is therefore seeing the end of your predetermined purpose. Vision is the unfolding of that plan and purpose of God for your life. When God reveals this to us, this is vision.

Below are highlighted ways we need to be committed to have a successful Vision life: 

Firstly, we must understand our vision life is a sum total of what it takes from God showing us His plans for our life to us fully actualizing what these plans are.

1. Commitment to Your Spiritual life: We must understand that we live in a wicked world today i.e life is a battlefield not a funfair or a play ground. The only way you can overcome the powers of the wicked is to have a power of your own i.e. build up your spiritual life. The Bible encourages us to commit our ways unto the Lord. Why?? So that he can direct our path according to his will. When you are outside of God's will, you are vulnerable to the power of wickedness. You must understand that you are a spirit, you have a soul living in a body. So therefore you are 100% a spirit being. The God that created you is a Spirit and He said in the book of Genesis "Let us create man in our own image", so your image is spiritual. I know you think your image is physical because of the mirror in your room. Just assume that there's no mirror do you know that you may have difficulty seeing your self. You build your body through constant eating and exercises; you build your soul through reading and meditation; you also build your spiritual life through constant prayer and eating the word of God. 

2. Commitment to Your studious Life: Man builds his soul through reading and meditation. Your life vision should determine the book you should read. You have to be intentional about the books you read because there are many junks and stuffs to read. You need to discover your area of specialization in order for you to be special in life. Until you discover your area of specialization and be committed to it, this determines the growth of your studious life.. Take a book in your area of specialty and read today. Vision should choose your library.

3. Commitment to Your discipline Life: There's nothing that disciplines your life like vision. You want to be distinct in life then you need to be disciplined. Discipline is defined as self imposed standard for the sake of a higher goal. There is a desire for success in the heart of every human being on Earth. A successful life requires a disciplined life; what makes you distinct is Dicipline. Therefore, get a vision, be disciplined and stay committed then you will have a successful Purposefull life. Indiscipline fetches nothing but Poverty.
