THE IDENTITY GAP OF FULFILLING YOUR PURPOSE. PART 5.
You can’t fulfill a purpose you’re not identically secured in, and this is one of the most consistent missteps we see today, particularly in the arena of discovering and fulfilling God’s assigned visionary mandate. Please note that is not some motivational claim; it’s a profound biblical revelatory reality that plays out in the lives of most believers who claim to know their assignment but can’t seem to step out in fulfilling it.
Purpose and identity are two inseparable twins; you can’t divorce one from the other and expect either to function as designed. Many have the calling, they can articulate the vision at least, to a certain degree. They’ve often received confirmation and even affirmations from multiple sources, but something is perpetually off-center within them, and they can’t quite name what it is.
The problem is not the purpose itself; it’s the uncertain, insecure identity foundation they’re standing on when they try to build up what they believe is their mission. Identity is the ground the define who we are and what we’ve been assigned for, and if this identity ground is found to be unstable and uncertain, everything you try to build on it will continually experience shifts like a vessel driven by every wind that blows, never finding its bearing, never settling into the course it was designed to travel, and never reach its destination.
