WHAT DO PEOPLE COME TO YOU FOR?

WHAT DO PEOPLE COME TO YOU FOR?
No one is born a mistake. In fact, your existence is proof you’re needed. There is something you’ve been tasked to do, a problem you were born to solve, a need you’re equipped to meet.
The real glory of our existence is not in the luxurious things we own or have, it’s in doing what we have been tasked to do, solving the problems we’re born to solve and meeting the needs of our generation.
You are as valuable to your generation as the solutions you bring to the problems in it. If you fail to birth forth God’s purpose for your life, you will live ordinary and die with your potentials untapped.
My question to you in this post is: WHAT DO PEOPLE COME TO YOU FOR?
What is that specific theme, area, niche, need, problem that people come to you to help them solve or shed light on?
– Have you found it? If you have, what are you doing about it?
– If you haven’t, what are you doing to find it?
The Bible says “you are the light of the world” [Matthew 5:14]. That problem you were born to solve is the light you carry in a dark world. The need you’re equipped to meet is the solution you carry in this chaotic world.
Let me say that again in plain English – you are a light in this dark world but until you choose to shine, YOUR WORLD will remain dark.
The reason it appears you are in obscurity, and no one is noticing you or appear to even care if you exist is because you have refused to shine your light. You have refused to give expression to the purpose of God for your life.
Purpose gives God expression in your life. And God is THE LIGHT. No wonder the Bible says, “And THE LIGHT shines in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. [John 1:5].
I love how The Message Bible says it – “The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness; the darkness couldn’t put it out”. Hear this, no one can block your shine or put you out if you are fulfilling God’s purpose for your life.
A purposeful man or woman isn’t just beaming ordinary light. You are shining THE LIGHT! God is THE LIGHT – the one expressing Himself through you.
And no one shines THE LIGHT and remain ordinary! You become more than conquerors. You become a force to reckon with.
Again, what are people coming to you for? What problem are you born to solve? What are you doing about it?

Picture an eagle in a cage. No matter how beautiful the cage is, the eagle was not designed to live in a cage. It was designed to soar on the highest heights and mountains with courage and flair. No matter the lure of the cage, it can never surpass the freedom of the eagle soaring in all expanse of the skies in all of its glories and strength. Like the eagle trapped, too many brilliant, gifted, called individuals are trapped in the cage of careers they were not designed for. They can never command their true worth and value, they can only eat the crumbs they are being fed by their captors. The lure of salaries and pennies that will never satisfy keeps them in such cages. They would rather remain in the rat race than take the risks for their freedom and glory. The Bible says, "If the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed." - John 8:36 As a child of God, you can break free! You were not designed to be caged! Any job that does not give you the freedom to express your gifts, talents and calling is a cage. One of the biggest graveyards of purpose I see is this graveyard of unfulfilling careers. People get jobs only for the sake of earning, rather than fulfilling their life's calling and pursuing what matters to them. But here's the truth: The careers you were not designed for will not satisfy you. They will leave you with voids and emptiness. At the end of your career, you would lack true legacy, influence and impact. Your time to break free is now. I believe in you. Dr Samuel Ekundayo
