Looking 4 Myself - Part 5

THE WAY FORWARD…

JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY THAT LEADS YOU TO FINDING THE REAL SELF.

-          You need a personal Encounter with God.
Personal Encounter with God is any situation or any scripture from the bible that gives you a clear understand about who you really are according to God’s plan. This clear understanding is new and fresh. It’s different from what you use to know before the Encounter.

-          You need a personal relationship with God base on your Encounter with him.
This is the platform of you listening and talking or you talking and listening. It’s the platform of you using what you have learnt and understood from your Encounter as a platform for a conversation with God. This is the platform of Matthew 7:7 – 8; a place of you asking, seeking and knocking for God to reveal to you who he has created you to be. This is your right and the Holy Spirit is at your service to see to it that you know and understand whatsoever you ask, seek and knock for in line of your divine purpose.

-          You need to study your bible in line with your Encounter with God.
You must study your bible with the understanding of what you have discovered from your Encounter with God. You study your bible with an aim and a desire to know, and understand who you really are according to God’s plan. You don’t study your bible for God to bless you or for warfare against the devil. No! When you discover your self, and walk in the understanding of your self discovered – the devil will submit and blessings will be running after you. First thing first – FIND YOURSELF. Seek first the kingdom of God (Your purpose) and his righteousness (His principle) and every other thing will be added to you.

-          You need the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is your helper, comforter, tutor… His duty is to lead and teach you all truths relating to your divine purpose here on earth. He is your teammate. You must understand that there is some thing written concerning your life. You had consciously written down the details, specifications and patterns concerning your life (before you were formed into your mother’s womb). Your purpose is not some thing far away you must search. Your purpose is not in any Church or in the hand of any man of God. Your purpose is already in you - you need the Holy Spirit to help you discover that purpose dwelling in you.

-          You need a mentor according to your personal Encounter with God.
You need a mentor that has the Grace of God in line with what God has revealed to you about you. It must be a man or woman of God that will nurture you into maturity according to what God has kept in your life. He is not meant to turn you into who He wants you to become, but he is meant to help you become what God has revealed to you. He or she has limitations. He or she is expected to lord over you or dominate you. A mentor is meant to inspire you into how you can accept responsibility and accountability to God, your self and he or her self.

-          You need teammates or tribe mate

This is the function of like minds of people like you who have understanding about what God is showing you. These are the set of people that think in the same pattern of the revelation God is reveling to you. You need to surround your self with people whose spirit bears witness to the revelation of God’s word in you. You need people around you, who can speak your language (your purpose discovered); People who will always see your purpose discovery and fulfillment as an answer to their own prayer. They are people who can build you according to what God is revealing to you. They are people you can build according to the plan and purpose for their lives. I call them ‘Purpose Mate.’

Your Life, Relationships, and Resources Belong to God

Stewardship is more than managing money; it’s about recognizing that everything you are and everything you have belongs to God. Your life, time, relationships, and even your emotions are divine trusts, not personal possessions. Psalm 24:1 reminds us, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” When you understand this truth as a youth, it changes how you make choices, treat people, and handle opportunities. In dating and relationships, stewardship means honoring God with your heart and choices. You don’t date to fill loneliness; you date to reflect purpose. Your emotions should be guided by wisdom, not impulse. When you see your partner as someone God trusts you to treat with dignity, purity, and patience, your approach changes. You begin to love responsibly and communicate with respect, knowing you’ll give an account for how you handle another person’s heart. For singles, stewardship includes how you use your time and gifts while waiting. Every ...

Youths and Emotional Boundaries

In today’s culture where emotions often lead and convictions take the backseat, many singles and youths find themselves entangled in relationships that slowly pull them away from God rather than draw them closer. It’s easy to get swept up in the excitement of romantic attention and companionship, but without clear spiritual boundaries, you may end up sacrificing your devotion, purity, and even your purpose. The truth is, who you allow into your heart can either fan the flame of your love for God or quietly quench it. Not every connection is meant to carry you forward in your spiritual journey. Some are weights, not wings. God has standards—not to restrict us, but to protect us. Maintaining spiritual boundaries means deciding ahead of time that your walk with God will not be compromised for temporary affection or unguided passion. It’s choosing prayer over pressure, purpose over pleasure, and worship over wandering emotions. When you begin to sense that a relationship is making you too ...

Time, Talents, and Treasures: Ticket For True Love

Before stepping into a relationship, it’s important to pause and reflect on what God has already placed in your care—your time, your talents, and your treasures. These three areas shape how you live, love, and lead in purpose. The way you handle them as a single person reveals how prepared you are to love rightly and build a purposeful relationship. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” Your single season is not a waiting room; it’s a building ground. How you invest your time now—through prayer, learning, service, and self-growth—determines your readiness for love later. If you waste your time chasing validation or distractions, you may carry emotional emptiness into the next phase of your life. Redeem your time by prioritizing what strengthens your relationship with God and your purpose. Your talents are divine gifts meant to be discovered and developed before you share your life with someone else. Matthew 25:14-30 teaches abo...
