The Hunt of Purpose: What Happens When You Don’t Become You!

By Isdore C. Nwachukwu

If you long to experience a fulfilled life free from tussles, and regrets, The Hunt of Purpose reveals the How.

Fulfillment in life is dependent on becoming what you were born to be, and doing the very assignment you were born to do. Without the accomplishment of our purpose, life can hunt.

Life’s purpose is the responsibility and the reason we were born for. It comes with an inherent burning passion for its accomplishment. Living without a purpose is living a life without hope because nothing else can give you satisfaction, fulfillment, and peace of mind except it. This responsibility continues to hunt those who try to live their lives outside it.

This book explains in details such subjects like

Who am I?

What is my place on earth?

What was I born to do?

What happens if I don’t become who I was born to be?

Why are there so much confusion and problems in our world?

Why are there so much cruelty, hatred and fear in our neighborhood?

Why is humanity threatened with economic hardships, pandemic, and suffering?

Our world has never been threatened like we are right now. Our dear world is in turmoil, and deep crisis. Why are we going through all these?

The reason for our numerous challenges is that our world is suffering a HUNT from our Corporate Purpose. The world has lost the purpose of its existence. All these problems that befall us are the consequences of a lost purpose.

This insightful book will give you a deeper understanding on how to live a purposeful life free from hunt.

PURPOSE REFLECTION

A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stump; a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree" Proverbs 11:28 (Msg)

Every human God created solves a problem. Hate is an indication of the problem you were born to solve. What are the things going wrong in your society that you hate.

FOREWORD

The Scriptures clearly shows that the assignment or purpose for which we are made is the only spiritual definition of our lives.

God knows us by the purpose for which he made us. In John chapter one verse nineteen through twenty three, the Jews sent Levites and Priests to ask John who he was. When they came to John, they asked, Who are you? One would have expected John to answer, I am John the son of Zachariah" instead he answered,

I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness; make straight the way of the Lord…

John knew his purpose was his name. In the light of this, I sincerely believe that God used Evang. Isdore Nwchukwu to provoke a spiritual force of destiny that will certainly move anyone who will read this piece.

I therefore recommend this book to all Christians and even non-Christians. I recommend it more for the youths- who need to find direction in life and destiny.

God bless you as you read in Jesus Name!

Daniel Onuoha

The National President of National Evangelism Christian Outreach (Neco).

PART ONE

Why Purpose Hunts

God did not make things or places the solution to the problems on earth; He made humans the solution to the universal problems. Until humans give out God’s inherent solutions in them, their society will continue to suffer.

CHAPTER ONE

We are the solution to our world. If you give your inherent solution to your society and I give mine, our world will become better.

Many people in different societies of the world have asked these heartbreaking questions on why the world and their families are encumbered with so much suffering, pain, diseases, confusion, disappointment, frustration, war, and death. But funny enough, these questions have received little or no answers.

Many have depended on the governmental systems to proffer solutions to these challenges, but the government has failed them. Some try education to increase the literacy level in their nation and individual lives, but educational system has only complicated and compounded the problems. It could not bring the desired help to our deteriorating world. The rest go after more money to help them crush these problems, but money has succeeded in exposing these challenges more. Money was never meant to solve problems. This was a conceptual fact wrongly taught. Money alone does not solve problems, rather it is used by humans as a tool to solve problems. Many who were wrongly taught believed that more money in their hands would end all their problems, but instead, it brought more problems to them.

What could be the cause of our world’s problems? What could be the cause of wars and rumors of wars everywhere? Why is our society encompassed with so much cruelty and economic hardships? Why is humanity threatened by this deadly pandemic that is taking lives in their scores? Why is there so much hatred and fear in our neighborhood? Many think and cry out to know each day. The cause of the world’s problems is a very little thing but the effects of its negligence are tragic. The reason for our numerous challenges is that our world is suffering a HUNT from our Corporate Purpose. All these problems that befall us are the consequences of a lost purpose.

Our world has lost the purpose of its existence. Globalism and socialism has taken the order of the day. We want to be free to live the way we want, and not the way God created and designed us to live. Wrong desire for sexual gratification; Gay right and beastology is now the new world order. This is not the purpose God created us. We are mis-using His products. That’s the reason we are hunted.

The interconnected structure

Mankind has ever been the cause of his misfortunes; the very architect to the universal challenges. The sufferings of the people around us in most times are not as a result of their mistakes, but because we hinder the flow of God’s will to their lives. Most of our self- centered actions hinder the flow of God’s blessings, and His hand of help to the lives of the people around us.

Life is interconnected where humans live in relation to one another. The world is a small village where humans live by interacting with another. Your personal living is directly or indirectly affecting people around you. When people are suffering around you, find out if you are contributing to their suffering. You have to check if your daily living is blocking the flow of God’s help, blessings, supply, joy, happiness, and peace into their own lives, thereby causing them to live in pain. Every action and choice we make outside God’s purpose for our lives will hurt the people around us and cause them to live in pain.

Every action and choice we make outside God’s purpose for our lives will hurt the people around us and cause them to live in pain.

The consequence of life without Purpose

Life is meant to be lived with a sense of purpose. When an individual or a nation loses a sense of purpose, it hunts. When leaders go into government without a sense of purpose, they loot the national treasury and the masses suffer hunger. When teachers lose their sense of purpose, they chase after businesses and abandon their duty call in the classroom, and the nation suffers the destructive disease called ignorance. When students
