Birthed for Purpose! was written to challenge, encourage, and inspire God’s creation. This book is based on the word of God, as well as personal experiences, to illustrate several biblical teachings. In modern Christianity, the concept of purpose is lost; nevertheless, it is important for you to know that you were not merely an accident waiting to happen, but a well-thought-out plan in the mind of God! Purpose is something that everyone needs to know about, but very few know how to find it. You will never understand your purpose until you develop a relationship with the one who created you. He’s the only one who can reveal to you the reason for your existence. Satan knows that much power could be released into your life once you understand your purpose and that is why he is trying to keep you in the dark concerning your true identity.
