God created you for a purpose; you are not a product of mistake or error. You are a prophecy, you are sent by God to this world to achieve a purpose and until that purpose is achieved, this world may not attain peace.

God sent Joseph to the land of Egypt ahead of the children of Israel in order to make the place suitable for them. Moses was given birth to because God wanted to use him to lead the children of Israel out of the land of slavery. Samson was sent to this world to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. Judges 13vs1-6.

But, one thing you must know is that, for every purpose, there is always an instruction or instructions to follow. For you to fulfill the purpose for which you are sent to this world there are commandments or rules that you need to follow, and if those instructions are not followed, your purpose can be aborted. For instance, there are instructions that were given concerning Samson’s purpose on earth; one of the instructions is that Samson must remain holy. Judges 13vs4-5. Right from the time that Samson was in her mother’s womb, the instruction was that he must remain holy; that was why the angel told the mother not to take strong drinks, and eat not any unclean thing.

If you must achieve your purpose on earth and if your dream and purpose here on earth will not be aborted, you have to live holy because living holy will help you to access the grace that you need from God to fulfill your purpose on earth. If holiness is the antidote to your fulfillment of purpose? What are the things you can do to live holy in this world of sin?

You have to pay more attention to living holy. Philippians 3vs7-9, 1 Corinthians 9vs23-27.

Let your attention be on living holy because this consciousness will help you to achieve holy living; but if your focus is tailored more on being successful and having great achievement in life than holy living, the devil may tempt you into doing that which is against the purpose of God for your life. Make sure all your success and achievement in life are gotten in holiness. Ensure you live in holiness in order for you to enjoy your success for a long time.

Give yourself to the study of the word of God. 2 Timothy 2vs15, Psalm 119vs9-11.

To live holy, you have to study and meditate regularly on the word of God and obey it promptly. The word of God (Bible) must be your companion and you must ensure you obey the instructions and commandments in it because this is the only way you can live an outstanding and fulfilled life.

Associate with God-fearing people. 1 Corinthians 15vs33.

Do you know what aborted Samson’s purpose was the woman he married? He married from the nation that God had instructed him not to marry from. Judges 14vs1-3.

Your company of friends or associates will determine how far you will go in life. People that are mindful of God will always encourage you to learn sound doctrines of God’s word that will establish you in holy living. The people you called your friends are very important to the journey of fulfilling your purpose in life.

Resist sin and have firm determination to keep yourself from all kinds of sins. 1 Thessalonians 5vs22, Job 27vs3-6.

You have to do all that is possible with all the grace that you have so that you run away totally from sin. Sin will sink you if you choose not to run away from it. Resist Satan and the influence of the ungodly people in your life; you have to bring your body under subjection so that you may win and reign in life. Romans 6vs12-16.

In your pursuit of purpose in life, ensure you run away totally from sin; in your marriage, career etc, let sin be buried because if not, sin will expose your life to danger.

Study and follow the life of people that live and are living holy.

You can read books or listen to tapes that talk about the life of people that live holy. Study the lives of people that choose holiness above all things and copy how they live their lives. 1 Timothy 4vs13, 1 Timothy 4vs15-16.

Preach and teach holiness firmly and consistently.

You will discover that the more you talk and teach people about holiness, the more you yourself will be conscious about the way you live your life. Teaching people about a holy living will help you to be intentional about it. When you live holy, God will give you the grace to achieve and fulfill your purpose on earth. Colossians 1vs28-29.

CONCLUSION: whatever you get in darkness will surely fade away in no time. If you must fulfill your purpose; if you must live an impactful life in this world, you must be ready to live in holiness. But the truth is, somebody who has not had an encounter with Jesus Christ cannot live holy. He cannot even understand what it means to be holy. If you think you are holy while you do not know Jesus Christ; your righteousness is as a filthy rags. Isaiah 64vs6.

Come to Jesus Christ today; accept him as your Lord and Saviour because it is through him that you can get the power to achieve your purpose in life. Jesus is the power of God, that is, the grace to live holy. Jesus Christ in you is the strength to dwell in holiness. Allow Jesus Christ into your life, live holy and you will fulfill your purpose in destiny.
