THE PURSUIT OF PURPOSE.

“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the price? So, run, that ye may obtain.” (1 Corinthians 9:24)

God never rewards you for receiving the vision of your purpose, but he rewards the daily achievement of your purpose from phase to phase.

There are two mediums through which man can access the rewards of God on earth and in heaven:

1.The labor of our hands (Deuteronomy 28:12)

2. The liberality of our soul and generosity of our hands (Deuteronomy 12:6-7; Isaiah 58:10-12; Proverbs 11:24, 25)

Let us discuss the labor of our hands. God believes and takes pleasure in those who carry out divine plan. It doesn’t matter how you begin your journey, provided you are within the divine program for your purpose.

No destiny begins big. Every great destiny today started small. A journey of one mile begins with a step. Little drops of water make a mighty ocean. So despise not the days of little beginnings.

“Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase” (Job 8:7)

THE FORCE OF WORK

Work is the means through which mental pictures or visions come to reality. It is the means through which our dreams in life are being transmuted into their physical equivalence. Nobody really knows the dream that you are pregnant with until you travail in labor to bring it forth before the eyes of people.

What is work?

Let us look at the following dictionary definition of work:
It is the use of physical strength or mental power in order to do or make something.
It is the use of force to produce movement.
The word “work” connotes activity towards making profits; but working for salary only just to earn a living is never a ‘Purpose’. Many people are just going around with different activities, but they are going nowhere in life. Ambition is never progressive but circulatory, while vision or divine purpose (because God is involved, who gives instruction from time to time to bring about sequential progress) is progressive in nature. Ambition does not have an end in view, but vision does because God reveals the end of it to the bearer. If you are pursuing any goal that you don’t really know how the end will look like, please drop it. Don’t waste your time, energy and money for what does not concern your destiny.
It is true that the beginning of everything is hard, but you need to be courageous enough for a take-off. Have this in mind: to begin an assignment is halfway the journey. Work should arise out of your mind to affect your generation and the world around you.
Vision will show you pictures of what can be or will come to pass, but a vision not translated into a mission (work) is a daydream. God demands that every vision given you should be worked out. Our covenant fathers that ever had their destinies fulfilled were men that worked.
*Abraham was a worker (Genesis 13:2)
*Isaac was a worker (Genesis 26:1-14)
*Jacob was a worker. He served Laban for twenty years (Genesis 31:41) Joseph was a worker (Genesis 39:3-6; 21-23)
*Daniel was a worker (Daniel 6:1-3)
*Nehemiah was a worker (Nehemiah 1-2:12-18)
*Ezra was a worker (Ezra 7)
*Jesus was also a worker (John 5:17)
In the case of Jesus, when someone threatened him, mentioning King Herod, he refused to depart from his work.
“The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee and he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected” (Luke 13:31,23)
Nothing makes purpose glorious like work. So, pray as if everything depends on God, but work as if everything depends on you.
