Bloom into your purpose
Learn how to walk in the GOD's plan for your life.
We spend so much time trying to find our purpose, attempting to climb the corporate or entrepreneurship ladder to discover the key to success and lifelong happiness. However, you often feel lost or misguided, because you seek the answer to your life purpose, outside of GOD’s will. HIS plans are for you to prosper and give you an expected end. This is why it is imperative to seek GOD to discover your life’s purpose. In this article, we will discuss how to walk in GOD’s plan.
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Jeremiah 29:11 KJV
What is Your Purpose?
Your individual purpose is a part of GOD’s divine plan. HE wishes that no man would perish. That every man would come into repentance through salvation. Through repentance and accepting JESUS CHRIST as their Lord and Saviour. Every believers purpose is to go ye therefore and make disciples. This can be accomplished during your everyday life and career. The challenge is most individuals separate their career and pursuit of success from the work required for the Kingdom of GOD.
“The LORD is not slack concerning HIS promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 1 Peter 3:9 KJV
Set GOD as the priority of your career and life goals. Place your focus on GOD being glorified in everything you do. This will align you with your purpose as you will begin to gain clear direction. Your life will bear fruit of the glory of GOD and draw others to inquire about the GOD you serve. You will excel, be prosperous, and live an abundant life through the fruit of HOLY SPIRIT. Thus being a living testimony of the saving power of JESUS CHRIST, which is apart of your life purpose.

Seek GOD for your purpose
Your purpose in life is complex. You are multifaceted and talented. Therefore, your purpose will consist of multiple components. You may be a wife, mother, and have a successful career. You volunteer in your community and are active in your local church. In addition, you are a part of your children’s PTA and are the team parent for their basketball team. In each of these areas you are called to show forth the fruit of HOLY SPIRIT and be the light of GOD. Therefore, your purpose is to be a daughter of GOD, help-meet, mother, and woman of GOD. Your purpose is only found in what you do for GOD. Seek HIM through prayer, fasting, and studying the scriptures of the Holy Bible, for clarity in how you are to show up and function in every area of your life.
