3. Living with a sense of mission to please God and add value to

the society and humanity at every point in time.


4. To live with the understanding of God’s original

intention/mandate/assignment for your life per time.


5. To live with an understanding of your individuality (personality, passion,

potential, vision, etc) without comparing yourself with others.

HOW TO ALIGN WITH PURPOS?

1. Stay connected with your source: call unto me and I will show you great and mighty things (including purpose)

which you do not know.


2. Carry out a personal self-help test on your potential: What one thing (s) do you do: -That brings you utmost fulfillment and joy. -That brings out your genius. -That brings honor and respect to you. -Without sweat or struggles.

-Excellently well with little or no formal education, but inherent. -That attracts people to you. More than normal. -That boosts your

self-esteem. -That you sense it is God’s grace working in you. -It was not your ambition, but stumbled into it by experience. -That you do

with passion, and all your zest.


3. Stay with the scriptures and the right anointed books, by anointed interpreters. (Luke

4:16-20, 1 Cor.2:9&10)


4. Apprenticeship: Who are the success-

stories you tend to gravitate towards and willing to learn from

them? Apprenticeship is not by choice, but by

destiny. For Joshua, there is Moses. For

every Elisha, there is Elijah. For every Peter

there is Jesus. For every Ruth, there is

Naomi. For every Moses there is Bethuel.


5. Stay with the right associates:


6. Stay with the right values and principles: Jesus told His

brothers that my time is not your time.

CONCLUSION

When the purpose of a thing is not known abuse is inevitable.
