Destiny and Career

CHAPTER ONE

It is only fitting to align with the words of the great teacher and author Dr. Myles Monroe that when purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable. Career choice will be a miserable enterprise if it is done when one is void of the understanding of his reason for living – purpose. Choice of career without purpose discovery is an uphill task; shooting one’s self on the foot and maybe blaming the society for the anomaly. When you choose your career without knowing your purpose and destiny assignment, it is like putting an equipment to use without knowing its reason for creation.

The result of such choice will be frustration and regrets. Have you ever tried to use a comb to sweep the floor of your room or a broom to comb the hairs on your head? - Think about that. A career choice that is not in line with a person’s destiny assignment and purpose in life is like using equipment for another purpose entirely different for what it was designed for. Peradventure your chosen field of career is directly opposite the assignment that God created you to fulfill, you will be like a man trying to fry yam using a kettle. That you are in a moving train does not mean that the train is headed to your destination. Where you intend to arrive should inform you of the particular train you should board. The destination is your destiny while the train is your career. Board the train wisely.
