“God is the only way of life we can get lost in and find ourselves.”
— Joshua Komolafe
Put the baby cap on!
When you know who you are, you know what fits = knowing your calling
You have a giftedness cluster = a spectrum of gifts and talents
Everyone has at least one gift!
And our value system should be from God
All others = substandard, there’s a limitation to what we can get from it
For your purpose in life there is a scripture that God can release to you for you to hold onto for the rest of your life = He honours his Word over his name
For real guys, we can literally go to God in our secret place and be like “Hey God, this is your Word, and you will never let your Word go back to you void! God you’ve gotta do this for me thank you.”
We literally have the power (within reason) to ask God for whatever we want! Provided we have faith and it aligns with God’s Plan (NOT OURS!) then it’ll happen.
Don’t get it twisted, many of us have our own plan and want God to jump on board, that’s not how it works! Did you give yourself your purpose or did God? You’ve got to jump on board to God’s plan. He wants the best for us!
We have to be obedient – obey the Holy Spirit on time When you are on course for your purpose, the Holy Spirit gives you an instruction, we have to do it. If you don’t do it = it takes longer to complete it. Something that could have taken a week takes you 6 months! Why are we creating more struggles for ourselves? The world, the enemy gives enough things to deal with, let’s not add to it peeps!
Bible Time – y’all should totally read the verses
Ephesians 3:1 – 11
Paul is telling us that his purpose is to evangelise to all the people and his purpose was tied in with being in prison = he wrote his letters in prison
There is a uniqueness with purpose – it hasn’t been done before
Regardless of what you think of yourself, God has put things in you, remember we each have AT LEAST one gift!
Your purpose is given to you by God (Why? It doesn’t matter.)
It is the glory of God to go conceal the matter (what) not the reason (why)
It is the purpose of kings/queens to reveal it (the what not the why!)
Genesis 45:7 – 8
Once you are shown something once it is completed, God will show you something else, the next phase of our journey – unless it’s time to die
We have to spend time with God to find out more, go back in his Word
Esther 4:14
Esther achieved personal success by becoming the Queen
But her significance was to save the Jews
We should not stop when we achieve personal success, we have to go above and beyond that
God calls us to a group of people - then next level is significance
