TOPIC: WHO AM I? (DISCOVERING GOD'S PURPOSE FOR MY LIFE).
TEXT: Jer 29:11 (MSG)
"I know what I'm doing, I have it all planned out-plans to take care of you,not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for"
Everything about your life is planned out already and the day you discover purpose is the day you start living. The first assignment in life is to find out what your assignment is.
SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF PURPOSE:
1. God is a God of purpose (Isa 46:10-11).
2. God created everything with a purpose (Pr 16:4).
3. Not every purpose is known to us (Jer 1:5).
4. Where purpose is not known,abuse is inevitable.
5. To discover the purpose of something,never ask the creation;ask the creator (Jer 33:3).
6. We find purpose only in the mind of our maker (Ex 9:16).
7. God's purpose is the key to our fulfillment (Pr 19:21).
TEN WAYS TO DISCOVER PURPOSE
1. What are your childhood dreams and desires?
2. What excites you or releases your passion?
3. What do you do easily or naturally without stress?
4. Where do you bring forth fruit and produce result most?
5. Through the inward witness (The voice of the holy spirit on your inside).
6. What do your friends see in you?
7. Do you have stubborn thoughts or dreams?
8. What will you commit your life into if money is not the problem?
9. What is it that when you make up your mind to do it, people will rush to help you?
10. What are your hidden dreams and desires?
1. Refuse to give up on your purpose.
2. Nothing can stop you except you.
3. You will always need God to fulfil your purpose.
ACTION PLAN: Find your purpose and stay there!
HAPPY SUNDAY!!!
