Your Purpose Determines Your Perception!

Talent K. Manyani
Psalms 139 vs 14-16 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Three people were visiting and viewing the Grand Canyon -- an artist, a pastor and a cowboy. As they stood on the edge of that massive abyss, each one responded with a cry of exclamation. The artist said, "Ah, what a beautiful scene to paint!" The minister cried, "What a wonderful example of the handiwork of God!" The cowboy mused,"What a terrible place to lose a cow!" In this life time as people of purpose each and everything that comes your way don't adopt the general opinion rather adopt an opinion from the perspective of your purpose!Purpose ultimately becomes a sort of dictionary, guide that we carry around wherever we are it defines circumstances, situations and realities differently from the general populace specifically for you as an individual for you are unique God did not create us in masses NO! God took time to mould you under his watchful eye nurturing you into a wonderful blessing that you are or can be to the world. God as the one who knows the end even before the beginning setup a manual for your life, a manual that can only be activated from within yourself, appreciated and lived by you and that is your purpose! Hence in life view things the God way which is the purpose way in some problems see programs for you know that God 1corinth10v13b 'will not allow it for you to be tempted beyond your strength, ability and knowledge(my paraphrase)!Don't be a follower of present day worldly mediocrity be strong and firm in attentiveness to the voice of your purpose.

In the case of David some people saw a giant in Goliath with the ability to crush you with one hand, but David saw an uncircumcised giant a target to big to miss. At the gate of beautiful in Acts 3 the crippled man saw people who could offer him money or food, but Peter and John saw the manifestation of Gods healing power. Same with us today we are caught up in a world full of controversies, pains and tribulations what is it that you see and whose dictionary are you using? Are you using the dictionary that blames God for everything bad, and glorifies luck and your own power for your successes? Or are you using the same book, the dictionary in which your days were ordered by God in the beginning! Your perception will generate how much you receive and how much you progress in life!The way you perceive things in life will give you a slight edge in life, it will build a kind of wisdom with the ability to elevate you to higher levels of understanding just how beautiful life is! Live a life of victory in the appreciation of your purpose don't cry along with the masses ,what are you mourning when our Savior is risen and has ability to change anything to your advantage! Psalm 91v7: 'A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near YOU.'

This is very true to those who have appreciated the YOU part,those who have appreciated the uniqueness of their being in light of their purpose. Live a life of the best, appreciate your uniqueness and perceive in the wisdom of your purpose! So it's no longer the usual 'everyone says' or the 'whatever mentality',but the 'as my purpose defines'mentality.
