acquitted with the word of God).
What people say about you could be a
pointer to your purpose (So it's important to pay attention to what people say
about you especially, people who know you very well) Parents, Teachers, Friends
and Families and so on.
WHAT IS MY POTENTIAL
First and foremost, God is a God of
potential. Everything He created, He creates with the principles of potential.
What would this World have lost if
you had not been born?
Potentials are latent power, dormant
ability.
- It is an untapped power
- Hidden strength
- Unused success
- Dormant activity
- Who you really are and nobody knows
it yet.
- What you can really do but haven't
done it yet.
- How far you can go but haven't gone
yet.
- What you can accomplish with your
life but you haven't accomplished it yet.
It's never what you have done, it's
always what you could do [and you aren't yet]. Note: The graveyard is full of this awesome power called potential (i.e.)
men and women who could not fulfill their purpose.
To maximize your potentials, remain
attached to your source; your maker, the creator of the whole universe.
It's never too late to become what you might have been.
THINGS PURPOSE WILL DO FOR YOU
1. It gives direction/focus. You'll
know what to do at a point in time; hence, there is no beating about the bush.
2. It determines the friendship you
attract. Your purpose determines the kind of friendship you keep.
3. It attracts provision. Every
vision has a provision. Your purpose will bring on the required resources.
4. It gives all round success.
Success is simply the achievement of set goals. Except there is a purpose
(goal), there is no success. For purpose in itself gives you goals to pursue.
5. It gives meaning to your life. The
greatest tragedy is not death but life without purpose.
6. It makes you to channel your
energy on things that matters.
7. It makes you selective, effective
and active. Without clear purpose, you will keep changing direction. If you
don't stand for something, you will fall for everything.
8. It motivates your life.
9. It determines who to marry.
10.It prepares you for eternity.
