COMMITTMENT TO A LIFE OF PURPOSE

COMMITTMENT TO A LIFE OF PURPOSE

The subject of PURPOSE is a confused one in our world today but so far still the most important subject that needs to be studied. So many who are walking on the planet Earth without a meaning to their life; they live with no reasons for living. This category of men are called purposeless; and since no future is created without a purpose, therefore to be without purpose is to have no future. Many a times, people have argued that life is by chance and luck; that there is no predetermined end anywhere. But this is very far from the truth. I have come to tell you that the subject of Purpose is as important as your Life. Why? This Purpose is what gives life meaning. It makes our living meaningful. That is to say, without a purpose, we live the most useless of life. If a Potter has no reason why he makes the clay, tell me, of what use then is the product even to men?. God had a reason He created man hence the purpose of creation. For we were purposed first in his heart. Genesis 1:26 "And God said "let us make man...". After he had made the declaration let us make man, then he itemized the reason for him creating man. God himself had the understanding that if purpose is not added to a thing, there is tendency for that thing; one to be undervalued and two, not to attain its full potentials. It is often said "when the purpose of a thing is not known, the abuse is inevitable".

In this new year, it is important or expedient for us to learn and understand the subject of Purpose in other to have a colourful and meaning year; in order to have a smooth ride through the year. Because, Purpose does this! Ever wonder how it will look like driving without a compass in a strange place. It can only be a venture in futility. It will take the mercy of the Lord and Grace to find such a future. Purpose is that compass we need for the year 2022 to direct our every step.

Maybe we do not have an understanding of what the future is? The future is not 20 years to come or 50 years to come. The future is tomorrow; the hour that is not yet come, the minute that is not yet come, the seconds that is not yet come. This is the Future. And no matter how of little importance any of these may be to you, knowing and understanding Purpose is very vital.

What is Purpose? Purpose is the intention behind the creation of an object or thing. Purpose is the reason for the manufacturer's creation of a product. As I like to say, the original intent of God for the life of man. This is to tell you that there can be fake purposes such as the ones we create for ourselves which do not align with the Father's original plan.

Before a manufacturer creates any product, he will first sit down and think about the reason for the creation. Thinking gives birth to reason. To get the reason of a thing, ou have to think unless you will abuse it. People do not pay attention to this subject because they  do not reason or do not reason well. They do not think well. If you cannot reason, then you cannot become.

We live in a very busy and confused world today in which most people are only existing and not living. Many are living and only few are living effectively. Purpose gives birth to life and commitment to life give birth to this effectiveness.  

Jesus said something in Luke 11:34. He said "when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light". Singleness of eyes is synonymous to us being committed to Life and Life's purpose.
