UNDERSTANDING PURPOSE AND ASSIGNMENT

Written By Umana Pius

I have been guilty of using purpose and assignment interchangeably, I know some of you are guilty of doing same thing.

I see purpose as what you were created to be/do on earth. Then assignment are seasonal things you were called to do to fulfill purpose.

Purpose doesn’t change. Assignments do...... Chandler Moore

Assignment's are not destinations,they are just route.you need to pass through to get to your destination (purpose)

There is always something to learn in every assignment that will help you in fulfilling purpose.

You see, the same way you have routes that will take you to your destination, the same way you will have assignments to complete to get to your purpose.

Every assignment should point back to your purpose.

Let me borrow this familiar story from the bible, it's a story you know already.( The Joseph's story ) 

The purpose of Joseph was to save the people from the farmine that was to befall them but Joseph didn't fulfill his purpose immediately he was given birth to.

There were some things he needed learn before getting there, this lessons are best taught through assignments.


One of the assignment was to manage potiphar's house.

He needed to know how to manage a home before he could be able to manage the resources of a nation.

That was an assignment. He could have just given up on fulfilling purpose, afterall he was working for a wealthy man and he was in charge of the man's house and wealth.

Am sure his salary was a fat some of money because the bible recorded that he was a successful and prosperous slave.

He would have just given up everything and lay with potiphar's wife but he didn't.

Joseph understood that giving up all he had for a temporary enjoyment or satisfaction can leave a question mark in his assignment and reduce his chance of fulfilling purpose.

He didn't attach himself to the assignment but he attach himself to the purpose,that was why he was still walking in purpose even when the assignment changed.

He had to keep going because where he was ,was not a destination but a route.

Today I see potiphar's house liken to our academic journey, a temporary job, a political seat e.t.c

Those things are not permanent but if you are opportuned to pass through them,never forget what Joseph did. (Don't give up all you have [purpose] for a temporary enjoyment or satisfaction[assignment])

Don't settle in your assignment keep moving till you fulfill purpose.

  THIS IS WHY YOU ARE NOT GETTING OPPORTUNITIES  Written By Edirin Edewor It is not your village people. Your environment determines the kind of opportunities you will get, and to the degree in which you will get these opportunities. Your environment doesn't have to only be your physical geography. It could be the people you hang out with or the kind of experiences you immerse yourself in.  There are certain opportunities you can never get unless you're in a particular city, state or country.  There are certain opportunities you will not be able to take advantage of if you don't have a passport or a valid visa.  There are certain opportunities you will have to turn down because your business isn't yet registered and/or you don't have a corporate account.  There are jobs you will not be able to take on because you have refused to open a Domiciliary account.  There are conversations you will never be able to be a part of because you are not physically present in the r
