Disadvantages of knowing your purpose in life.....

(1) You will be restricted from some things......
You will begin to see everything in the light of your purpose,what
makes sense to others may no longer make sense to you.
Some things will look so perfect until you look at it with the lens
and microscope of your purpose


(2) You won't be able to go into a relationship (marriage in view)
with just any kind of person......


You begin to picture the end from the beginning. You won't only
consider the good qualities and physical beauty someone possess, you
begin to ask yourself if this person will be able to FEATURE in the
BIG PICTURE (purpose) God has shown you.


(3) Your journey might look slow to others and they tend to feel
you're not making progress in life.....

When you begin to live a purposeful life, your approach to things will
change, you don't just look at fulfilling immediate gratification, you
move beyond doing what's urgent to doing things that are important and
will add value to your purpose.
You begin to take time to prepare yourself for what God is preparing
you for ; all these might make the world feel you're not making
progress.


(4) Your money no longer becomes your money, purpose begins to share
your money with you.
Instead of spending your money on just yourself (like changing your
wardrobe regularly), you begin to invest more in your purpose (like
buying more books, attending seminars and meeting people of substance,
all in line with your purpose).


(5) Your own definition of profit will be different.
God told me very early in life that, as a believer my definition of
profit will always be different from that of an unbeliever, this also
applies to your purpose.
What gives you joy and a sense of fulfilment may not make sense to
some people at all (this might include some of your friends and family
members).

People will not really understand why you do what you do and derive so
much joy in doing them (until you take the effort to make them
understand why you do what you do)....


Lastly, never make someone who wasn't there when God called you ( gave
you that purpose) to frustrate you out of God's call for your life...
At the end of the day, you'll be the one to face God and give account
of how you lived your purpose.....


PLEASE NOTE that all the points I listed up there are actually few of
the many ADVANTAGES OF KNOWING YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE, I am bold to say
that THERE IS NO SINGLE DISADVANTAGE IN WALKING IN GOD'S PURPOSE FOR
YOUR LIFE..


Discovering God's purpose for your life will change the world, and
that change will begin with YOU.


Until you discover your purpose in life, you haven't really discovered
the real you, you are not who you think you are until you discover who
you really are.


Do whatever it takes to discover God's purpose for your life, that's
the best thing that'll ever happen to you in your entire life.......


I have many regrets in life, but discovering God's purpose for my life
is NOT one of them.


With one voice, let's appreciate my one and only source (Jesus Christ)
by saying (typing) "THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT", for without Him I can do
/write nothing (John 15 :1-5).
