There are about 6.5 billion people today on planet earth. They are spread across the six continents of North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Eurasia. Each one of the persons has unique characteristics in the DNA that makes them different from one another. Why would the creator of all humans make us all different without apportioning specific purposes to us in relation to His overall corporate purpose for the earth? It is simply not possible. Everyone was created for a purpose to fulfill in a life time that is shared to each one of us in time frames. Have you discovered why you are here?
You are not a statistical figure to be counted and kept aside. Your uniqueness comes with a purpose. You have been crafted to carry out an assignment. Finding that reason is what will give your life a meaning.
There are four basic appetites in life that are legitimate but are prone to abuse. When ever you do not know the purpose of anything, you are most likely to abuse it. These appetites are food, sex, wealth and religion. Every man eats but it is from food that gluttony results. Sex is a legitimate appetite but it can be abused by its use outside matrimony. Wealth is a desire in every heart but many evil has been committed in the bid to acquire wealth by all means. Religion has taken more life than it should save because its application was misappropriated.
Your purpose in life is more than indulging your sex appetite. Such indulgences will cloud your broad sense of reasoning and you will lose sight of your bigger purpose in life.
Rather than become so narrow in your pursuit of an appetite outside its purpose, it is right to get an understanding of your reason for being on earth, go on to fulfill it and within that package, you can enjoy legitimate, guiltless sex in marriage with its attendant benefits.
Sex outside of purposeful living comes with many sorrows. Getting sexually entangled with a man or woman before you are ready for the responsibility that comes with it can muzzle your real purpose in life.
What is Purpose?
It is the reason, the cause or the “why” for why a thing is created. A fan is meant to create an atmosphere to circulate air to cool the heated temperature. A microphone is meant to amplify your voice and the book you are holding is meant to be read.
We are not all made the same. We were wired differently. This we will find from our personality types – whether introverts and extroverts; our giftedness, our background and experiences. Our passion and natural abilities are all pointers to the area of life we are meant to be functioning. Have you thought through all these basic areas of your life to discover your wiring?
Purpose discovered gives you a sense of mission and direction. It motivates you to live with urgency in life that is focused and directed. Lay your hand on purpose today. When Henry Ford found out why he was on earth, he gave the world motor car. Albert Einstein gave the world the electric bulb while Bill Gates gave us Windows. Why you are here and what are you leaving behind in the world? Are you just a spectator? You were made for more than that.
