• You can become great and make excellent accomplishment in this life

• How do I know?

• Through the examples/experiences of the greatest achievers the world has ever known

• One common experience most of them share is that: they were ordinary men and women but became extra-ordinary

• How did they become extra-ordinary from been ordinary?

• Through what they lived for:

They lived for something with intense determination.

That thing was their PURPOSE

In other words they were purpose driven.

• What does it mean to be Purpose Driven or what is the meaning of purpose driven living?

•1 cor. 15:32•“….Let us eat and drink for tomorrow we die.”

• This is as good as asking why are we here? What are we here for?

• What is the reason for our existence?

• There is no greater day in your life than the day you discover you purpose for living.

• To be purpose driven is to have a positive reason for living or doing something. It means having something you stand for, a cause you are ready to pursue to conclusion. It is discovering the reason for your existence, your God-given assignment and deciding to pursue it with all that you are and with all that you have

• Is it possible to achieve the purpose driven life?

•How?

• Through:- Vision

- Courage- Timing

- Luck

“Where there is no vision, the people perish…” Prov. 29:18

Vision

• Vision is the root of purpose driven living• It gives you direction• Talent is good and very important to the

purpose driven life but without vision talents will not take you far

• Vision tells you where you are going• Knowing where you are going defines your

purpose in return

What is Vision?

• Vision represents the greatest thing that you can imagine happening in your life• It is the great goal that will make you

happy, motivated and fulfilled once achieved.

Courage

• There are millions of visions that will never be realized

• What will make your own vision to be different is the courage to execute

• You need courage to achieve your vision. (Joshua 1:8)

What is courage?

• Among top ten things that people on their death bed regret is inability to live a life true to their vision/dream.

–The reason is simple: Courage

• Courage is mental and moral strength to venture, persevere, withstand.– Pursuing your vision against all odds– Pursuing your vision knowing there are challenges

to face– Perseverance in the pursuit of your vision

Timing

• Life and time are inseparable. Waste your time and you would have succeeded in wasting your life

• I belief there is an ideal time for everything like the preacher puts it; but you must be wise enough to know when.

• Note that there will never be a perfect time to do anything, you just must start now.

Luck

•Is there anything like LUCK in this life?

YES

• My definition of LUCK is– Diligence– Discipline– Determination

If you have these three together with your purpose, you will always be lucky.

Everybody will have one opportunity or the other to become great in life; seizing that opportunity at the right time is what people call luck. You will be lucky when your purpose in life meets with the right opportunity and you quickly seize it.
