Created for a purpose
In recent times, I found myself thinking of the fact that could anything good come out of me? The thoughts were so overwhelming that I began to question my existence. I'd ask and challenge myself, can I do anything right, why is there always criticism at the end of anything I do, why does it look like the world is against me.
Since this was all I was having to go through and face alone, I decided I would live life according to what life threw at me. After living in this hopelessness that nothing good could come out of me. I sat down and reflected on how much I have tried doing things by myself and wanted to see results immediately.
In my reflection, I recognized that there was a need of me wanting to blow than to grow and so I began to look down on the little achievements I have attained and focused more on the things that I want to be but can't be yet.
While on the seat of reflection, I realized... what if I waited more to grow? Can a branch bear fruit except it abides with the vine? No. Ohh! I realized, there was a disconnection. A disconnection from my process, a disconnection from the source that would power light and ideas afresh.
After the realization I had to sit back to make a decision. My life is not my own, deciding to stay out of the hands of my creator was not and is not an option because he is the one who knows me, owns me and created me.

At this point I had to run back into his embrace and understand what he wanted for me in this season. All the creator would have me do is grow in my season.
There's a process in becoming fruitful, you have to be planted, rooted and nurtured for you to blossom. It is very important to stay till you can bare other fruits. Or are you like my other friend who had long fallen out of the branches and it seemed like there was no hope?
Remember this, there is hope for a tree if at the scents of water it springs back to life again.What have you hoped for that seems impossible when the scents of water you need is Growth and waiting in your process.
Now is the time to reflect on what you have done previously and do better. What you have been doing wrong and you should quit.What you need to start doing is to become a better version of you.
And lastly strive to remain connected to your source so you can have a productive year. This is just a conclusion of the first month of the year. Ensure to take the remaining months seriously and always make out time to reflect on how to become a better version of you.
Have you been finding it difficult to set your goals for the year, you still have time to do that. Just create time to reflect on who you want to be in the next five years and write down sincere reasons you'd need to become all of that.
Creations, nations and the world is waiting earnestly for your manifestation, for the fruits that you'd bare and what taste it'd produce. I pray for us that we receive the grace and the strength that we need to bare all that God has created us to be.
"Don't wait to blow, but desire growth and wait for it"
Introduction
In the wise words of Dr. Myles Munroe, "When the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable." Purpose is the driving force behind creation, the reason why something exists. Imagine using a blender designed for blending and grounding to charge electrical appliances – it's a misuse, an abuse of its intended purpose. Much like the abuse of tools, our lives can fall into three categories: misuse, underuse, and overuse. In this comprehensive article, we will explore the profound journey of discovering your purpose and how to live a life that truly matters.
Understanding the Essence of Purpose
Purpose is the core reason behind the existence of anything. It's the intention that drives creation to fulfill a specific need. Just as every manufacturer has a purpose in mind for their product, there was a divine need in the heart of God when He created you. Jeremiah 1:5 affirms this divine intention, stating, "Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you: a prophet to the nations—that's what I had in mind for you" (MSB Version). These plans are the foundation of your existence, echoing the necessity of your being in God's grand design.
Why Seek Purpose?
The need for purpose arises from the desire to meet a specific need in the world. You might wonder, with over 7 billion people on Earth, how to find your unique purpose. The answer is simpler than it seems:
1. Seek the Manufacturer: Just as the manufacturer best understands the product's intricacies, God, our Creator, comprehends our purpose. Seek Him first to discover His plan for your life.
2. Follow the Manual Guide: Every product comes with a manual guide, outlining instructions, examples, and features. The Holy Bible serves as your manual guide. Delve into it daily to unlock your life's purpose.
3. Know Your Features: Every product has inherent features that define its functionality. Humans possess talents, passions, and potentials, each integral to their purpose.
4. Utilize Your Features: Using a product correctly ensures its effectiveness. Misusing, underusing, or overusing it leads to issues. Similarly, using your talents, passions, and potentials appropriately aligns with your purpose.
Living a Purposeful Life
Living a life that truly matters begins with discovering your purpose. Remember, it's not a quick fix; it's a lifelong journey, a partnership with your Creator, utilizing the manual guide, understanding your unique features, and using them wisely. Ephesians 1:17-18 offers divine guidance, "But I do more than thank. I ask—ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory—to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally. Keep your eyes focused and clear so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do and grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for Christians."
In conclusion, the abuse, misuse, underuse, or overuse of anything is often the result of not understanding its purpose. Just as with tools, understanding your purpose is the key to unlocking a life of significance and impact. Discover your purpose, walk in it, and embrace the immense beauty of living a life that matters.
