Why is finding my purpose in life important to me?
Based on the book Purpose by Funke Felix Adejumo
Life is not rosy as you fancy it, right? At some point you may become really confused about what to keep doing, where to go, why to go on with life, which direction to take and more!
Firstly, take note of the fact that your purpose means that you are created for God’s pleasure (Revelations 4:11)
“You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honour and power, for you created all things, and by your pleasure, they were created and have their being”
So if God created all things for His pleasure, He definitely had designed you to fit into a role in His kingdom, He had something in mind (a purpose) before you came into the world. It is your acceptance of this truth that should motivate you to find out your function on earth and learn to give Him pleasure by fulfilling it
But what does purpose mean? A purpose is an intention or aim for which something/someone is made/borne; it has to do with the function that which people/things serve. Purpose is God’s Purpose for creation because he intended to hit a target when he made you and that target is why you exist, your purpose!
What if you were not planned for, what then is your purpose, as you may be the product of a failed family planning program or an extramarital issue? There is no reason to feel bad for this situation, “for the stone the builders rejected became a chief cornerstone.” Humanity was designed with all good intent by God and along the way we swayed – thus making God redefine the purpose of Jesus Christ who served as a sacrificial lamb – that came to earth in human form to save the world from their sins, so that all may be reconciled again to God! 2 Cor 5:21
So, living a fulfilled and satisfying life is the core reason why it is of great importance for you to find what your purpose is, for you did not create the map of your life, rather you are given a thoughtful mind in addition to the help of people around you and the environment to navigate the map of life to arrive that destination, which is your purpose.
Hence, the easiest way to find your purpose i.e. reach your destination is to understand that you were made to last forever, for death is merely a “transit camp.” You are made to last forever, that is why you must live your life with eternity perspective. Live today in such a way that your eternity will be a glorious one.
This is because whatever you do today, will go to a very large extent to determine what your eternity will be like. Every decision you make and manner of life you live is an act of sowing and determining what you will reap
