wewe were born for a purpose. There was no mistake when wewe were formed. Another sperm could have joined itself to another egg, but it did not. All the days of your life have been already written. Psalm39vs16. wewe were intricately made, not one detail of wewe was a mistake. Everything about wewe was made exactly how God intended, because wewe were born for a purpose.
“For wewe did form my inward parts; wewe did knit me together in my mother's womb. I will confess and praise wewe for wewe are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well. My frame was not hidden from wewe when I was being formed in secret [and] intricately and curiously wrought [as if embroidered with various colors] in the depths of the earth [a region of darkness and mystery]. Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book all the days [of my life] were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them.” Psalm139:13-16(Amplified Version)
God designed wewe specially, so wewe could fulfill a specific purpose. God placed wewe in the family in which wewe were born for a specific reason. wewe encountered that unfortunate circumstance in your life for a reason. Every siku of your life was written before wewe were formed, nothing happened to wewe kwa chance, wewe were born for a purpose.
Let us look at the life of Joseph (Gen. 37-48). In your spare time wewe will have to read this because it is very lengthy. I will look at it briefly now.
The wife that Jacob loved, Rachel, could not have a child. After Jacob had many sons with his first wife, and her moyo was broken time and time again, God gave Rachel a son in Jacob’s old age. Jacob understandably loved this son, Joseph, above all. This caused Joseph’s brothers to hate him and sold him into child slavery. Joseph went through many hard times in Egypt but was eventually promoted and became the highest ruler in Egypt, save for the Pharaoh. He, through this elevated position, could bring his family and the people of God to Egypt and saved their lives when a sore famine came upon the earth. This was a brief synopsis and it missed out many things, but I wanted wewe to see how God intricately planned Joseph’s life. If Joseph was not born to the beloved wife of Jacob after so many years of grief, he would not be so loved kwa his father. If his father never treated him special above his brothers he would not be hated of them. If they did not hate him, he would not be sold into slavery, if he was not sold into slavery then the purpose that God had for his life, to save his family and nation, would not be fulfilled. Every siku of your life is planned, wewe were born for a purpose.
“Before I formed wewe in the womb I knew you, before wewe were born I set wewe apart; I appointed wewe as a prophet to the nations.” Jer1:5
God told Jeremiah that he was set apart and appointed a prophet to the nations before he was even formed in the womb. This is true of all of us, a bit scary, profound and comforting all in one, but true. God knew who He wanted wewe to be before he formed you, so while He was forming you, He was designing wewe specifically for that purpose. Before He designed your mother, he planned for her to give birth to you. wewe were not a mistake, where wewe were born was not a mistake, where wewe are now is not a mistake. wewe need to know this and ask God for what purpose wewe were born, why am I in this particular circumstance, why did wewe ubunifu me as wewe have, and placed me where I am. God what is my purpose?
One way in which your purpose can be identified is through your gifts. The bible speaks about talents given. God designed wewe with a upendo for something(s) and wewe do not have that upendo in your moyo without a reason. So firstly wewe must ask what do I upendo doing? Then when wewe have found the answer ask God why did wewe give me this gift and what is it that wewe want me to do with it?
When wewe find your purpose it gives meaning to your life. wewe have a mission, so the obstacles become less difficult to deal with. There is something driving wewe to go on, there is something that makes wewe want more, that make wewe find it a joy to wake up in the morning. Something that makes wewe push to the limit, that something is purpose
YOUR PURPOSE IS NOT TO BENEFIT wewe ONLY
God made us each to help the other, wewe must fit in the cycle of life. Life forms were designed to give sustenance to each other. The trees breathe out oxygen and we take it in, we breathe carbon dioxide they take it in. Life forms cannot exist without each other. It is so designed kwa God, neither can humans exist without each other. wewe were designed to build up and help someone else. Your purpose is to build wewe up but it is not for wewe alone. The bible says:
“A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.” Prov18:16 (KJV).
So your gift(s) will make room for you. Your purpose is usually tied to your gift(s) au ability. However, when wewe have discovered your purpose wewe will find that others have to get involved, it must be with a view to help others au there will be no real joy. What is your gift and how can wewe use it to help someone else? This swali is buried in your purpose and wewe must unearth it. Why do wewe live, why were wewe born, it cannot be to exist until wewe die. If wewe do not find your purpose, wewe are merely existing, wewe have not begun to live. wewe were born for a purpose, wewe must find it and begin to live it.
