Section 1: Provisions Match the Assignment

What is divinely assigned will always be divinely aligned; your provision is tied to your purpose. Acting outside of purpose depletes, while acting within it multiplies.

Anything your Creator calls for, your Creator provides for. This is not only true,  it is a guarantee that you will have all the resources and capabilities necessary to fulfill your purpose. However, it is also true that your creator is not obligated to fulfill anything outside of the Creator’s purpose. In other words, Your Creator is not obligated to pay for something he did not buy! 

Therefore, the Creator will not provide for every plan you undertake. Instead, your Creator will only provide for what is divinely purposed and intentioned for your life. Your Creator will pay in full for what you are called to. Your call and purpose are  made up of several assignments and the Creator makes provisions for each and every assignment. 

Thus, it is important to know the purpose of your life because then you will know what assignments are assigned by the  Creator and what he has made provision for. Acting on your own plans in the absence of pursuing your Divine purpose is very costly in terms of time, money, and other high-value resources. 

This means that, if it is costly to you, then it isn’t a part of your Creator’s purpose for you. This is not to say that you may not find yourself making investments into the Creator’s  purpose for your life,  because you will. However, purpose pays life-long dividends because it is an investment. Whereas your own plans create debt.  

Many people are doing work “for God” that God didn’t ask them to do, and they are expecting God to pay the bill. Your God and Creator will not, because He doesn’t work that way. Remember, your Creator provides for the Creator’s purpose, not our plans. 

Something worth celebrating is the truth that your Creator’s provision for our purpose is not limited to physical resources, instead, the Creator makes provision for what was divinely inserted on the inside of us. If we go against those provisions with our plans, we create debt in our lives. 

It is not just typical external resources that are a portion of your provision, it is also  your design, function, and every little characteristic and trait that you possess. 

For example, your personality is a provision for your purpose, so are your built in preferences.  Our personality preferences (our function) which can be identified by personality tests like the Big5 or the MBTI are the ways that the business world chooses to categorize and identify aspects of our personality. The MBTI assesses what we like and how we choose to engage with people and the world around us, each of these is deeply influenced by our design. Remember, purpose determines function, which necessitates design.
