Bible Reading:  Habakkuk 2: 1-3
Memory Verse: Then the LORD told me: “I will give you my message in the form of a vision. Write it clearly enough to be read at a glance. Habakkuk 2:2 (CEV)

You need to understand God’s purpose for your life for the following reasons: 1. Understanding purpose delivers people from the feeling of hopelessness, worthlessness and uselessness in life (Ps. 42:5; Job 14:14). When you understand the purpose you were created to fulfil, you no longer live like an accident of creation.

2.Understanding purpose delivers people from the tragedy of the wasted life (Prov. 29:18). The clear understanding of your purpose delivers you from living at random or leaving life to chance.

3. Understanding purpose helps to direct life’s energy, time and resources to what really matters to life (Phil. 3:13-14). Understanding purpose brings focus and concentration to life. A distracted life is a purposeless life
4. Understanding purpose delivers people from wrong companionships and relationships (Prov. 13:20; Dan. 2:17-18). Your purpose influences your partnerships. Your assignment determines your alignment.
5. Understanding purpose delivers people from the plague of imitation and competition (2 Cor. 10:12; Joel 2:7). Imitation is limitation and competition is complication of life and destiny. There is a potential-productivity ratio that is a determinant of your purpose fulfilment

When you know your purpose, you are free from envy and competitive jealousy; when you know your purpose, you run on your lane. Every calling from God is a high calling; no calling is higher than the other.

6. Understanding purpose fuels pursuit and persistence in life (Hab. 2:1-3; Heb. 12:1-2). Once you know what you are on earth to do, there is no plan B; you are empowered to be persistent in your pursuit. You can change the plans but the purpose remains the same. Purpose is a constant, plan is variable.

Quote: When purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable – Myles Munroe
