The main teaching here is to explain how purpose, potential, the government, the economy, and the coming ‘storm’ are all connected. How they will impact us in the future. However, what is vital at this point is for you to understand that who you are is beyond what you have discovered about yourself. Your potentials are not yet fully discovered. And your purpose is the ONLY thing that will preserve your life in this journey.
Do you know and understand your purpose? The most vital journey of discovery you should embark on is finding out your purpose.
A purpose is what defines meaning. Anything without meaning is worthless. Understanding your purpose gives meaning to your life. It is the reason for your existence and why you have your potential. Whenever people are searching for their identity, what is missing is a purpose, because that is what gives meaning to every human life.
Your phone is serving a purpose; that’s why you have it with you. As soon as it loses this capability to fulfill its purpose, you replace it almost immediately.
Why is it essential to understand your purpose? It is the approval that shows you have what it takes to create your success; and it is the only reason people will recognize your worth. But most importantly, your purpose is your means of self-preservation amidst threats or ‘storms‘.
It creates in you the ability to perceive uncertainty and still stand strong in the midst of unstable times! It does this by helping you react unfavorably to circumstances not meant for your participation or pursuit. When you know your purpose, there are things you will not attempt to get involved in, because they contradict your essence and can lead to self-destruction.
Your purpose helps you solve the crisis of life. You surely will encounter some type of crisis even though you may not be responsible for it. And solving such crisis may be the very reason why you are part of this journey of life. With your purpose, you have the credentials to bring a change and create a solution in the systems of this world. You are not just a statistic for the national census or population growth, you are significant in the agenda of God.
However, when people don’t understand their purpose, they follow any path with an undefined destination. They encounter trouble and confusion, become out of place and irrelevant, and unable to maximize their potential.
Abuse is inevitable when purpose is not understood. Abuse is not only what we do to things, but also what we refuse to do. You can abuse your time and talent with how you engage it, and how you neglect it. You can also maximize it by using it according to God’s will. In doing so you will inevitably fulfill your significance in God’s agenda.
