Look out for your “Purpose Killers”

Purpose_FindingWhen we find our purpose, Heaven rejoices. God has kept divine purposes for you and me so that we live meaningful lives. Only a personal encounter with Jesus Christ can make us walk the path to find and fulfill our purposes.

But even after we find our purpose there are many such elements that deviate and distract us from being focused on to our purpose.I call them as Purpose Killers.

When we are focused on God’s purposes we will fulfill His will. But Purpose Killers make us stray away from God’s will.

Unholy Relationships,  Unhealthy Entertainment, Gossip, Anger, Pride, Envy, etc., are Purpose Killers, to name a few.

IDENTIFY your Purpose Killers.

We might think,

“Though this _____________ (PK) is in my life, I am doing good in my life/work/ministry”.

“I don’t see it causing me any harm”.

Though life may seem to be flourishing, the Purpose Killers subtly make us slip every time we indulge in them. Slight slips takes one towards a great fall.

Purpose-DeviationWhile all the while we think that it isn’t causing any harm, it would be late when we find ourselves at a place of total deviation and total destruction. When change will become too late. Restoration would not be wholesome.

So look out for the Purpose Killers. Wasted Time, Wrong Choices, Unnecessary Relationship…..

God’s Purpose for our life is much greater than Pleasure; much costlier and valuable than Penny; more meaningful than all People’s relationships.

It’s Time to Kill your Purpose Killer. It’s Time to Focus "onto your Purpose in this New Year.

“So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that’s where the action is. See things from his perspective.” (Colossians 3:1,2 MSG)
