How To Accomplish Your Purpose Successfully

You are important to God! You have a God given purpose to live out on this earth. You have dreams and goals. Dreams that God desires to come to reality in your life and goals that God wants you to achieve. You will accomplish your God given purpose, goals, and dreams successfully by giving God first place in your life. You may ask, "How do I give God first place in my life?" I'm so glad you asked! You trust in the Lord with "All" your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in "All" your ways acknowledge God, and He shall direct your path (Proverbs 3:5). You will have to allow God and only God to direct your foot steps.

You are on a mission. You are on a journey to success, a glorious journey. On this journey you will need guidance and direction. The place to find the guidance that you need will be in the Word Of God. The greatest book ever written on success is the BIBLE. In the Bible you will find the insight, encouragement, and guidance to succeed in life. For some of us the bible is the last place we would begin to look for direction on how to succeed. It is the greatest tool ever written for you, by God, who loves you, and wants you to have the best and be the best that you can be in life, at any age.

Spend quality time in the Bible, and obey the word of God, obedience to the Word Of God is the foundation to your success, there is no short cuts to this rule. You want the best in life? You want to be a success, a leader, a person of influence? If the answer is yes to these questions. Obey the Word Of God.

You will make mistakes and you will go through difficult challenges. You will have to deal with difficult relationships and people on your journey to success. There is nothing you and God, together can't do. You will succeed if you follow the plan that God has laid out in His Word for your life. When you act in a fashion that is inconsistent with that plan it can be very painful. But God is a forgiving God. God forgives and forgets. Learn and grow from the mistakes that you make and from the difficult challenges you go through. They are all a part of your journey to success, and the quicker you learn and grow from them the sooner you arrive at your destination.

Celebrate Your Life!
There are three dates in your life you should always remember and celebrate. The day you were born, the day you gave your life to Christ and the day you came to know your purpose in life. You were created in God's image to do great things. Celebrate your presence here on earth. Celebrate your birthday. Give yourself a party if no one else does. Buy yourself a gift. God planed your birth. God also has a plan for your life, a plan for good and not evil to give you hope and a great and successful future.

The day you gave your life to Christ the angels danced, they celebrated and you should too. Mark that date on your calendar and celebrate being a child of God. You Are Special to God. God Loves You! And Don’t You Ever Forget It.

And last but not least, celebrate the day you came to know your purpose in life. You may ask, "Why?" I'm so glad you asked. Because unless you know your purpose in life there is a great possibility you will never fulfill your destiny. That would be tragic. To never accomplish what God created you to do. To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. God has a purpose for you being born, being here on earth at this time.

Date With Destiny - Where There Is No Vision The People Perish

Pray, ask God, "To reveal to you what purpose He created you for and to reveal your ministry gifts to you. Pray all "Your" desires will line up to God's purpose for your life, so that you will fulfill your destiny." You are created in God's image, not to be a God but for people to see God in you. God created you to do great things in life. Trust Him. God has a plan for your life. Obey Him, for length of days, long life and peace shall obedience add to you.

Pray From Your Heart

God in Jesus' name I pray, "Please reveal to me the purpose You created me for and my ministry gifts. I need to know. I want what You want for my life. Not my will but your will be done. I want to accomplish my purpose in life and fulfill my destiny. Starting today, right now, Lord Jesus make every desire I have line up the purpose You created me for. Deliver me and set me free from every desire I have that is not from you. I want You to be Lord over my life, not just my savior. Give me the strength and the spirit of obedience to obey Your Holy Word so that I can and will fulfill my destiny. Now bless me with God-Esteem and wisdom. Teach me to love myself the way that You love me. Teach me to love You the way You want to be loved with all my heart, soul, mind, and body. You are the potter. I am the clay. I am the work of Your hands. I am created for Your glory and for Your pleasure. I praise You for I am fearfully and wonderfully made in Your image. Thank You Lord Jesus for loving me. Thank You Jesus! I Love You Lord.”

The “Conclusion” Of The Whole Matter

Ecc 12:13,14….Let us hear the “conclusion” of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

The conclusion of the matter is, "It about you and God; your walk with God. On Judgment Day you will have to answer to God about you and no one else. In John 21:21 Peter asked Jesus about John the disciple. Jesus told him, “What is that to You? You follow me.” Keep your focus on God and not man. With your whole heart, you follow God if no one else does. Do the work God has called you to do. You fulfill your destiny in Christ Jesus. Respect God. Keep His commandments.

It is God’s job is to judge his people and rest assured God will. God will expose every secret work good or evil. God will expose it, judge it and make it known. You my friend continue to study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as God has commanded you. Also study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Always walk in obedience to God’s Word and be blessed!!!
1Th 4:11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

2Ti 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Romans 14:10 and 12 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ....So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

Prayer: Gracious Father, Lord Of All, I ask in Jesus’ name, “That I always keep my focus on You God and what you have called me to do. Help me to always walk in obedience to Your Holy Word and keep all your commandments. I want to be called a friend of God. Bless me to hunger and thirst after righteousness so that I many walk in the Power of the Holy Spirit and see the results You promised me in Your Word. May I cry out like Jacob cried, 'I will not let You go, until you bless me.' May I always continue to seek You and find You when I search for You with all my heart. May our friendship, our relationship blossom and grow with each passing day. Teach me to always walk in the respect of the Lord. I want You to call Me friend. This is my prayer. This is the cry of my heart. This prayer is about You and I.

May I fulfill my destiny in Christ Jesus. Let me not be a busy body in other men’s affairs. Let me not speak on things that are none of my business. Let me not be a gossip. Let me not be judgmental or have a critical spirit. Make me study Your Word to show myself approved unto You God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. I thank You Lord for your blood. I thank You for forgiving me of all my sins. Your blood cleanses me. Thank You Lord for loving me. Amen. So Be It. And It Is So In Jesus’ Name!”
