This is a personal question everyone should sincerely, regularly and continuously ask, if truly one wants to fulfil one's destiny. Here, in the context of our topic today, means where you are presently. It could be the world you are living in or the position you are presently occupying. Your here could be your marriage (family) or office (workplace).
Can you, in the face of opposition and persecution, like Joseph, happily say, God sent me HERE (Egypt) to preserve lives, and save Egypt, when serving a jail term of the sin he never committed.
As a child of God, purchased by His blood, you are sent to where you are today, for a specific purpose. Have you discovered the reason? To represent Him. Paul knew he was specifically sent to the gentiles, and achieved this through hard work, commitment and focus on the Sender, for success. Nehemiah also realised and passionately fulfilled God's purpose and the reason why the king approved of his journey to Jerusalem.

Jeremiah says, _"Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations"_ (Jeremiah 1:4-5). He allowed nothing to distract him from fulfilling the plan and purpose of God for his life. Brethren, you have got no excuse for not doing what He created and sent you to do HERE and NOW. Cooperate with His Spirit, and you would accomplish all He has ordained.- PRAYER POINTS
