PURPOSE BLUEPRINT
(How to Die Empty)
DISCOVER, LIVE AND FULFILL DIVINE AGENDA
“The word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
Read Jeremiah 1:4-10 NIV
“As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.””
* Genesis 8:22 NIV
Fundamentally God gives every human being two gifts to fulfill His purpose, they are LIFE and TIME. That’s why your journey on this earth is captured in one word - LIFETIME
So from the day you were conceived to the day you exit, God primarily gave you two gifts, the gift of LIFE and the gift of TIME. God gave you these two gifts to do one thing on the earth - to fulfill He’s purpose for creating you.
God gave you the gifts of LIFE and TIME and inside that LIFE and TIME are SEEDS to create your HARVEST.
IN BETWEN YOUR SEED AND YOUR HARVEST IS YOUR LIFETIME.
SO USE YOUR LIFETIME TO FULFILL YOUR PURPOSE.
YOUR PURPOSE IS A SEED
You must understand that your purpose is a seed, it is meant to be discovered, planted, die and harvested to a new life in eternity.
SO USE YOUR LIFETIME TO PLANT YOUR SEED (Purpose) FOR YOUR ETERNAL HARVEST.
This is why the Apostle Paul said that belivers in Christ don’t die, but they sleep. Because we died in Christ so we can resurrect with a new life in eternity.
(Galatians 2:19-20 NIV)
(2 Corinthians 5:15 NIV)
WHAT IS YOUR DIVINE BLUEPRINT?
How do you discover and fulfill your divine purpose ?
THE EXAMPLE OF JESUS
…To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”
John 18:37 KJV
.My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.”
John 4:33-34 NIV
Jesus knew his purpose. He knew exactly what he was born to accomplish on earth and he left no stone unturned to achieve it. He gave his all to fulfill his divine purpose and has set an example for us who believe in him to do the same.
HOW TO DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE BLUEPRINT.
1. LOOK INTO THE WORD
A very sure way of discovering the blueprint of your purpose to live and die for is to look into the word of God.
EVERY MAN’S FUTURE IS IN THE SCRIPTURES.
When you spend time to look into the written word of God you will be made ready and sensitive to receive the revealed word of God to your about your divine purpose and assignment.
This is why staying in the word of God is very important to the believer in Christ.
IF YOU DON’T KNOW THE VOICE OF THE SCRIPTURES, YOU CAN NOT RECOGNIZE THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
“Until I get there, focus on reading the Scriptures to the church, encouraging the believers, and teaching them.”
1 Timothy 4:13 NLT
2. LOOK INWARD
This is to look inside of you. It’s to look for the gifts God has placed within you.
This is so because God in his wisdom has placed within you all the internal resources that you need to fulfill your purpose.
God cannot place on you a purpose he has not equipped you to live and die for. Every fruit has inside it the seeds for potential multiplication for as long as the seeds are planted in the right soil and all other things been equal, it will continue to produce fruits.
Joseph, David, Daniel, are powerful examples of those who used there inward abilities to come to the place of their divine purpose within their lifetime.
What are you skills ? What are you naturally good at? They are pointers to the problems God has put within you in this earth to solve.
In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well.
(Romans 12:6-8 NLT)
3. LOOK UP
Looking up means praying to God in the name of Jesus to reveal his purpose to you.
Please understand that this subject is not a joke. After salvation the most important thing about your life is living a purposeful life, because that is the only way to die empty and fulfilled.
Please understand that your purpose is not what you set for yourself. It is not just your dream but Gods dream for you. It is not just your agenda but a divine agenda.
The truth is that God is more willing to have you spend your lifetime living for your purpose because it’s a part of his overall agenda for the earth. So that makes him more willing to show it to you so you can begin on time.
Saul who’s name was also Paul did not find his purpose by looking into the word or looking inward, but he encountered his divine purpose by looking up when he struck down by a light from Heaven on Damascus road.
(Acts 9:3-9 NIV)
Consider Samuel, Joseph, David, Daniel, Esther, Jesus, Paul. John the Beloved. etc. These began early in life to live and die in their purpose. Also consider, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Manoah, Joseph of Arimathia, Anna, Simeon, the shepherds, Zachariah and Elizarbeth, etc. These may have began in later years but they fulfilled the divine purpose of God for their lives.
So no matter your age today, purpose is calling you to discover and live the rest of your lifetime for it.
DONT EXIT THIS EARTH UNTIL YOI HAVE ENTERED YOUR DIVINE PURPOSE.
4. LOOK AROUND
If any of the above we have discussed didn’t work for you, Understand that God can also use the things around your environment to lead you into your divine purpose.
You see, God knows the best way to convince you or his purpose for you because he created you and knows your proclivities. He’s very much aware of your strengths and your weakness, so he will always look for the best way to make you know without any count what his purpose for your life really is.
Many times you may not even be able to articulate very correctly what his purpose for your life is, but his mission is for eti be in the Centre of his will for your life and he actually does everything to bring you into that purpose.
So understand also that some of the challenges you go through maybe Gods plan to route you back into his plan for your life.
You may not even understand why some challenges happen which is not to take your life, consider that it might be Gods hand making you to align with his divine agenda for your life, especially if your are one who genuinely desires Him and his will to be dine in your life.
The problems you see around you in other peoples lives or in your environment can be a leading to living a life of purpose.
If a problem in the society is drawing your attention to do something about it, it a challenge on your extended family, other families, the government it even in the body of Christ of pulling something inside of you, you may want to pay attention to it by praying and asking the Holy Spirit what he wants you to do about that situation.
When you pray for this kind of situation, I encourage you to pray in tongues, because the Holy Spirit will be the one praying through you when you pray in tongues and He knows how best to get the job done.
If you are not sure you are walking in your divine purpose, try any of these approach and trust that God will reach you and you will have a good story to tell hereafter.
You can share your challenge with me in this area, am available to help.
To your fulfillment
