MERCY IN PURPOSE DISCOVERY

 MERCY IN PURPOSE DISCOVERY - PART 1

This week we will be dealing with a very important topic on our weekly Purpose series. We have been looking at how Purpose can be discovered and this week, we will be taking another pathway to Purpose discovery.

What is Purpose?  Purpose is the discovery of the original intent of God for creating us. Until one locates the reason he was created, one may find it difficult to live a  fulfilled life. And when you can not live a fulfilled life, you end up in frustrations.

We must understand tht all humans were designed to play a vital role on the Earth. You are not in any way an accident. There is a reason God had for creating you in the form you are and then putting you on the planet Earth  This role is primarily towards the advancement of His kingdom on the Earth; and it is a purpose from God. 

One of the greatest discovery a person can have in life is the discovery of one's purpose. Without this discovery, life and living will appear worthless and meaningless. We live in a dark world but Christ having shed his light on us, said that we should become as lights to lighten our world. But so many have walked in the other direction away from Purpose and are paying the price today. Some are walking on this said path, to pay the price tomorrow. We are now to understand that the errors already made are not outrightly irredeemable, hence, this week's topic.

The title of this week's article is "MERCY IN PURPOSE  DISCOVERY".

Our case study is Gideon, a mighty man in the scriptures (Judges chapter 6). The scripture makes us to understand that the children of Israel did an evil in the sight of God, and the LORD delivered them into the hands of the Midianites to afflict them for seven years. This is a nation that God had already made promises of greatness to in the days of their forefathers who worked committedly with  God. 

 Why then did He deliver them into the hands of the enemy? the answer is in this simple word SIN. Sin is a sinker of destiny. It doesn't matter what the plan and purpose of God, sin can make a man lose out on this; but mercy is a cleanser of sin. Until man is able to ask for mercy so that he may be redeemed; he may not find Grace.

Have you ever wondered why so many people who lived sinful lives, then all of a sudden, you hear or see them having ground breaking achievements in life (and in a clean, righteous way). It is because they asked for mercy and then Grace found them and on the long run they discovered God's purpose for their life; and started to walk in the light of it, hence the reason for the greatness that appears to all. 

The mercies of God is able to rewrite what is supposedly said to be the narrative for a person living in Sin. It is therefore imperative that we see here, that a person who has missed it can still be brought back to what is the plan of God for such a person. Was  it God's plan for them to dwell into sin before they discover God or their purpose? NO, it was their choice; a result of wrong choices and wrong roads treaded upon. For these persons, on the long run, when they ask for Mercy, they will surely be found and Grace will be given unto them to discover and run with God's plan for their life. For our God is a merciful God!
