PURPOSE

Have been wondering for so many years what PURPOSE is. I discovered that purpose is the discovery of your God given GIFT. The day you discover your gifting, you discover your purpose, that is your WORK. The first thing God gave Adam was WORK. Your PURPOSE is your WORK! Now, what is work? WORK means to manifest and to reveal. God created man to work, not to have a JOB. You can get fired from your JOB but you can't get fired from your WORK. Have you tried to find out why you get depressed every Monday morning? It's because you have to go to your JOB and not to your WORK. You can't fire Tiger Woods, Lionel Messi, Pastor Adeboye, Pastor Tunde Bakare, Ebenezer Obey etc. They are not at a JOB but at their work. The ace footballer, Jay Jay Okacha was once asked; what is your hobby? He said my hobby is my work and I get paid handsomely for what I love doing. This is the real purpose of God for man; WORK! Psalm 104 vs 23,

When a man encounter his purpose, he will become committed; when he's committed, he will be creative and when he becomes creative, he becomes productive. When he's productive, he becomes successful, and when outstandingly successful, he becomes impactful and he rules his domain.

God created man to dominate his environment. How? We are not to dominate each other but to dominate our environment. Leadership is not about dominating people but of self discovery. It is your "work" (gift) that will attract people to you and will make people to respond to you. When you discover who you are in God and what he has created you to do, men are naturally attracted to you, and you become an expert in your domain. That is how to rule over a domain. Who rules over a domain? A KING! The cattle rules and leads in the domain of milk production, that is what attract people to her. The Camel rules in the desert because of it's ability to carry heavy loads and go without food and water for many days. That's what attracts people to her.

PRAYER

Almighty God, Father of all mercies and fountain of all goodness, I thank you for the splendours of the entire creation, for the beauty of this world, for the wonders of life, and for the mystery of love.I thank you for the blessing of family and friends and for your loving care which surrounds me on every side.
I thank you for setting me tasks which demand my best efforts and for leading me to accomplishments, which satisfy and delight the people. I thank you for disappointments and failures that lead me to acknowledge my dependence on you alone.
I thank you gracious God, that by your grace, you have called me in this world to a Godly fellowship of faith; bless me, my wife, my children, my parents, family and friends, and all your people.
Grant that your word may be truly preached and truly heard, your sacraments be rightly administered and faithfully received. By your Spirit, fashion my life according to the example of your son, and grant me the will to show the power of your love to all among whom I live; through Jesus Christ our Lord and saviour. AMEN!!!

THE BOOK OF LIFE

THE BOOK OF LIFE

I keep opening the pages
As it unfolds so my frustration unfolds.
Why is the book of life filled with broken promises?
Why is it full of uncertainties?
Pray! It would unfold the pages of promises and hopes
So I prayed, and prayed but yet another page unfolds
Rather than see the page of hope for me
I saw the page open to other mere mortals basking
In the fulfilment of their own promises.



The pages of the book is running out
Would the page ever unfold to me the promise kept
Or would the suffering continue unabated
Then the voice tells me still; pray!
So to prayer I will give my all
That my page of hope and promise kept
Would open unto me new frontiers of
Everlasting and unending joy.
