7 Actions You Must Take For Fulfilling Your Purpose

You’ve asked, believed and now your waiting to receive.  Here are 7 key things you must do in preparation for the manifestation.

Practices to Possess The Promise7 Actions for Fulfilling Your Purpose

There is a specific place in your life that you have to come to before the things that God has for you begin to gravitate to you. When the Lord speaks a Word to you or gives you a vision of something greater that He has for you, everything that is needed to make that Word come to pass is already done in the spiritual realm. There are some key things that you must do in order to possess the promise and see the manifestation in the earthly realm.

1. You Must Line Up With the Word

The first thing you must realize is that you must begin to line your life up with the promise. You must come into agreement with the Word regardless of what your physical circumstances look like. The promise is waiting for you to line up so that it can start marching. It’s not going to go all over trying to find you.

2. You have to become disciplined

Most people don’t know what they want to do with their lives because they haven’t taken the time to plan their lives. They wake up everyday and just go through the motions, mostly on a whim with no real plan of what they want to accomplish and what they need to do to get there.

For example, if a room of 20 people were each given 20 sheets of paper and told they had 1 minute to fold each sheet all within that minute, every person would have a different result. Ultimately the exercise will reveal something about each person in the group. It may reveal that some may want to hurry up and do something, but they don’t want to do it right.

There’s a lot of people who can get the hook up, but if you don’t do it right, it won’t last.

3. You must build A Firm Foundation

The Sears Tower in Chicago is one of the world’s tallest skyscrapers.  It took three years to build and many people thought it would never be built because for a long time all they saw was a huge hole in the ground. When it was finally finished, it stood 1,454 feet tall, 110 stories high, and its foundation is 100 feet deep. It had to be dug deep enough to balance and support the weight. Many people want to rush what God wants to do in their lives because they’re tired of looking at what “seems” to just be a big hole.

Ask yourself:

  • How high do you want to soar in your life?
  • Have you drilled deep enough to remove all of the Brilliance Blockers that could impede your future?
  • Are your values strong enough to support your growth?

The point is, you can climb the latter of personal and professional success, but you can only go as high as your foundation will support you.

Anything worth having is worth the time and effort it takes to get it.

It took 3 years to build the Sears Tower but can you imagine how many years it took to plan it, design it and finance it in advance of the building process?

Anything worth having is worth the time and effort it takes to get it.

Significant success is rarely achieved overnight. A poorly made structure based on shortcuts and hook-ups will likely fall apart when the first strong wind blows.

4. You MUST WRITE OUT A PLAN

Habakkuk 2:2 “And the Lord answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.”

How many people have actually taken the time to write out a plan? Your plan should consist of the answers to the following questions:

  • How you’re going to do it?
  • When you’re going to do it?
  • Why you want to do it?
  • Who do you need to know or become connected to, to make it happen?
  • What do you want to do? What does success look like for you?
  • Where do you see yourself? (In 1 year, 3 years, 5 years)

5. You must Stop getting offended so easily

This is a big one! Too many people allow a spirit of offense to block them from their blessings. Believers fall out of relationships so easy because of offense.

The sad part is that the majority of things that you stop speaking to people over, quit that job for, or just don’t do what you’re supposed to do is not because you were offended by someone just now. For some, it’s because of something that happened to you five, ten, fifteen years ago when you were a child and so you have so many issues piled up inside of you, that as soon as somebody says one little thing to you, or looks at you funny, you go off! For others, it’s also because of something you did to someone else and you know how low you could go, so you’re suspicious of everyone else.

You have to be aware of your issues and let the Holy Spirit deal with you so that you don’t walk around offended all of the time. Don’t let your personal issues hinder you from going to your next level. Deal with all of those issues that would try to hinder that plan from coming to pass.

6. You must forgive others

You must learn how to be the forgiver when there is a rift in a relationship.  When you hold unforgiveness against another person that’s a major distraction used to get you off your game and shift your focus to things that are taking up too much time in your mind and heart and deterring you from your vision. Don’t allow negative emotions to interfere with your progress.

7. Be Teachable

We must all remain teachable. We are never too old to learn something new and we can learn things from the most unexpected people and in the most unexpected ways.  We must get into the mindset of being lifetime learners. I’m not saying this is all time spent in a classroom; this can be through learning while we study God’s Word, spending time with our elders, even talking with children (yes, children can teach you things) or watching nature all around us.  There are learning opportunities everywhere and at all times.

Bonus: You Must Now Become What You are Trying To Build

1 Samuel 16:18 “One of the young men spoke up, “I know someone. I’ve seen him myself: The Son of Jesse of Bethlehem, an excellent musician. He’s also courageous, of age, well-spoken, and good looking. And God is with him.”

David’s reputation preceded him. How do others describe you when you’re not around?

David was “courageous“, a “man of war“.  When the enemy brings the fight to your doorstep, do you run and hide or are you ready to war?  He was “prudent in speech“, “well-spoken“. A person that is prudent in speech is a person that knows how to use good judgement or common sense in handling a practical matter. It is also a person that is careful with respect to one’s own interest and careful about one’s conduct.

You may not be where you want to be, but as you take small steps in disciplining yourself every day, you’ll look back over time and see how far you’ve come in the right direction and not only will you notice the change, but others will take notice as well, and you will walk out the purpose and the plan that God has for your life.
