“Pilate therefore said unto
him, Art thou a king then? Jesus
answered, Thou sayest that I am a king.
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
Jesus, in replying Pilate during His ‘trial’ said “To
this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world.” Jesus had a very clear understanding of what
God sent Him to do in the world. It was
this clear sense of mission that dictated all that He did and informed where He
went. Not only did He understand God’s
purpose for His life, He was absolutely committed to fulfilling it. He lived a purpose-driven life.
God
has a very clear purpose for every man and woman in life. God has a very clear purpose for your
life. True fulfillment starts when an
individual discovers the purpose of God for his or her life and makes a quality
commitment to pursue that purpose with singular focus. May the Holy Spirit give you a clear
understanding of the plan and purpose of God for your life.
How do
you discover the purpose of God for your life?
First,
you must understand that God has a clear agenda for your life, and you must be
committed to carrying it out.
Secondly,
you need to spend quality time with God, to fellowship with Him, to pray and
ask Him questions about His plan and purpose for your life. If you seek Him sincerely, He will speak to
you clearly.
Thirdly, you should find out what you are
naturally good at doing, what you enjoy doing that gives you fulfillment. You should discover your natural gifts and
talents, and the things you do that give you good returns. Then you should dedicate your entire life to
God, asking Him to equip you with grace, anointing and power to carry out the
plan and the purpose He has for you in life.
Finally,
make a quality decision to commit yourself fully, without any reservation to
doing what you know to be the will of God for your life. Go right ahead and plunge yourself into the
doing of it with singular focus, without looking back. At the end of your life you will be able to
say like Jesus said:
“I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished
the work which thou gavest me to do” John 17:4
