RUN WITH PURPOSE!!!

Over the past two weeks I have not been too committed to posting and updating articles on my blog. This was in connection with the pressing demand on my time to project my vision to my place of birth, I mean my very origin. The capitol of Kogi state (Lokoja). Lokoja is the capital city of Kogi State, in central Nigeria, and is a port on Niger River. Founded by William Balfour Baikie according to European historical records, although there have been indigenous people living in the area for thousands of years. Lokoja was the capital of British Northern Nigeria Protectorate and remained a convenient administrative town for the British colonial government after the amalgamation of Northern and Southern Nigeria Protectorates into one nation called Nigeria in 1914.^[2]
The first Governor General Lord Frederick Lugard ruled the new nation of Nigeria from Lokoja. The city has since grown to an estimated 90000 inhabitants. ^[3] It is a trade center for its agricultural region because it sits at the confluence of the Niger and Benue rivers, and is close to the new federal capital of Nigeria in Abuja. Near Lokoja (in Ajaokuta) are metallurgy facilities and iron ore mines

Lokoja is also a Local Government Area of Kogi State with an area of 3180 km² and a population of 195,261 at the 2006 census. It is bounded by the Niger in the north and east upstream from the capital until the border with Kwara State, and includes the city of Lokoja. The postal code of the area is 260.^[4] It is home to the Kogi State Polytechnic

I will be sharing on one of my greatest experience in the course of this journey which is in correlation with purpose. Despite the storms and pressures of life, men that always run with purpose will survive the test of time. In the word of Robert Bryne - “for the purpose of life in itself is a life of purpose”. And when the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse becomes inevitable – Myles Munroe. And when a man run with purpose, he/she has the capacity to survive every opposition and storms of life. My beloved, am challenging you to live a life of purpose and run with that purpose. Putting your life in your hand, with the mindset that, ‘if I die, I die, If I perish, I perish. Looking you in the eyes and telling yourself the truth that; I AM BORN TO DO THIS... Until a man comes to this understanding and make such decisions irrespective of the challenges around you’re him/her, then a life of purpose which propels greatness and success in life’s endeavours is not in view.

Running a life of purpose means deadly commitment to one’s vision and goals in life which have the capability to bring about quantum change and improvement to his/her family, immediate community, society, nation and the world at large. A man that must ‘run with purpose’ is a man who purpose is driven to live a life of achievement and fulfillment that will bring about greater glory and honour.

Apostle Paul in the Bible is an example of a man that runs with purpose. While speaking about his life; he said and I quote, ‘I run straight, to my goals with purpose in every step. What a way to live! Running straight, not up and down, helter-skelter, nor crooked. Running to his goals not aimless pursuit. He knows how to move in every step. No wonder! He achieved greatly during his mission in life. He made GREAT IMPACT in his lifetime. Like Mathew Arnold said and I quote: “resolve to be thyself, and know that, he who finds himself loses his mastery.” That is; it is better to live and run with purpose rather than have a purpose.

For a man to be able to run with his/her purpose, the following must be fully observed:

ü  Choose your purpose

ü  Choose how you spend your TIME

ü  Choose how to develop your natural talents, skills and potentials and;

ü  Choose how to make use of your natural talents skills and all of that.

The entire above put together, helps to create joy and meaning for yourself and others. Now is the time for you to re-organize your entire life and at the same time re-strategize. It is also high time for you to clearly define what your own quota will be to your generation which will in turn guarantee what you can get out of life; for it is your input that determines your output in life.

Finally, set yourself to pursue your purpose. For it has been said that; if you aim at something, you will hit it. Because, if you think you have a very long time to live, think again.it is high time you begin to make meaning out of your life by living a life of purpose and running with it, for your existence is not an act of accidence. Aim at a defined goal every single day of your life.

 CHALLENGE: Don’t be a YES man!

Word for Thought: “when I chase after money, l never got enough. But when I got my life on purpose and focus on giving myself and everything that came into my life, I became prosperous”  –Wyan Dyer. 

You will make IMPACT!!!
