Our God is a God of fresh starts and new beginnings which is from the morning sunrise, to the changing seasons, to the passing of each year. For many, the prospect of fresh paint on a new canvas represents one of life’s most welcome journey that is another opportunity to be all God created us to be. Now, we will have the ability to do what He called or purposed us to do.
What about those who aren’t sure of their purpose in life? If you’re among them, you understand the intimidation of a blank canvas or another year’s worth of blank calendar pages. Do you wonder, What if I’m missing God’s call on my life? How can I know His purpose for me?
Nevertheless, when you find yourself facing these questions, there’s no better period for answers; but to see things not from personal perspective, but from God’s perspective. Individuals who lives with purpose and on purpose considers the fact that what they do affects their destiny which I previously described as ‘purpose fulfilled’. However, there are many who feel like everything in their lives is wrong, yet in fact just one thing in their life maybe causing all frustration. And, this one thing will affect every decision in your life. This one thing is that many believers are living a life without purpose. God is moving out the “old” and bringing in the “new” which has nothing to do with age. It has to do with anointing, many in the pulpit have become stale and elected to compromise God's Word. Now, He’s raising up a Joshua generation who are not afraid to stand up for the cause: because we are living on purpose. Many are simply going through the motions, just existing day by day, weighed down by the emptiness of a life without meaning. “I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body” (Philippians 1:20-24).
A gift to speak or sing do anything does not mean that God's purpose is attached to it. Because you can do something well does not mean that it is God's purpose. It could have been a desire planted in you by someone that you admire and respect. Although many things are handed down that can have a sense of purpose attached to them, you are to search your heart and press into God to determine if His purpose is actually tied to it. You have to determine whether what you are doing will bring an expansion to the Kingdom of God in some way. Purpose is not measured by what you have done compared to what someone else has done, but by what you have done compared to what you are supposed to do. “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10 ESV). The only way to know your purpose is to experience and walk closely with the One who has created and destined you for it. If you are a Christian, you do not need to be running around trying to discover your purpose. Rather, it is in experiencing God that your purpose will be made known. When you get to the place that you are ready to experience God, then you will be ready to experience your divine purpose.
