Name: How to Enter Your Place of Purpose
Author: Apostle Charles Mutuku

About the book

How to Enter Your Place of Purpose is the mentorship Apostle Charles Mutuku gives his Discipleship Master Class, written down. He opens it as a man who ran from his place of purpose, was caught, entered it, and lives in it now: everything in these pages was lived before it was taught.

It is not a book about positive thinking or seven steps to success. It teaches the laws that govern the Kingdom and your purpose, the four dispensations of purpose and where you fit in God's timeline, why some believers struggle despite their sincerity, what God has provided for you to fulfil purpose in this age, the mystery of the four rivers, why position matters more than formula, and the four pillars that must fall into place before you are ever what you were created for.

Full outline

Part1

Foundations of Purpose

What purpose is, the laws it runs on, and the four dispensations you must know your place in.

01The Crisis of the Untaught ChurchWhy believers with the same God have different experiences: the principles and mysteries that separate victory from struggle.
02The Laws That Govern PurposeThe map of the book: six laws that govern purpose, and why the Kingdom runs on law rather than request.
03Understanding What Purpose Really IsPurpose defined from the Maker's side: the reason, the original idea and the exact intent behind your creation.
04Claimed and Kept: God's Hand on You Before You Knew HimHow God claimed and kept you before you knew Him, and how to read the fingerprints in your own history.
05The Four Dispensations of PurposeThe four dispensations of purpose, and why wrong expectations come from not knowing which one you are in.
06The Original Purpose: God's Perfect DesignThe Original Purpose: what God was looking for when He said, let Us make man.
07The Failed Purpose: When Everything ChangedThe Failed Purpose: Satan's strategy to get Adam out of position, and what changed.
08The Intermediate Purpose: Where We Are TodayThe Intermediate Purpose, where we actually live: operating in two realms at once.
09The Restored Purpose: What Awaits UsThe Restored Purpose: something greater than the garden, when God Himself dwells with men.
10The Two Natures: Living in Adam and ChristDual citizenship under President Adam and President Christ: living with two natures.
11The Cost of PurposeWhy purpose, unlike salvation, has a cost, and the commitment, sacrifice and discipline it requires.

Part2

Finding your Place in God's Purpose

Eden read closely: the heart of God, location, the rivers of provision, position over formula, and serving God in the thorns.

12The Heart of God: Fellowship, Not ServitudeWhy God did not create man for worship, and what He was looking for instead: fellowship, not servitude.
13Man as a God in His Own RealmMan created to be a god in his own realm: the family God wanted, not more servants.
14Location Matters: Understanding EdenEden, the garden and the east: why where you are positioned can matter more than what you are called to.
15The River System: Divine Provision for PurposeThe river that went out of Eden: God never assigns purpose without providing resources.
16The Four Rivers: Pathways to ResourcesThe four rivers, Pishon first: what each pathway of provision supplies.
17The Destiny HelperThe first not good in the Bible: the destiny helper the church talks about constantly and understands rarely.
18Anointing Without DirectionWhy having the Holy Spirit does not guarantee success in your purpose: anointing without direction.
19Why Adam Was Cast OutThe specific reason Adam was driven from the garden, and what it reveals about God's dealings with you.
20Position Over FormulaWhy formulas do not override position, and what the church's obsession with formulas costs.
21Serving God in the ThornsUntil Christ returns we are not in Eden: serving God faithfully in a world of thorns and thistles.
22Grief in the Centre of God's WillGrief in the centre of God's will: why loss visits the obedient too, and why faithful mourning is part of the call.

30Anointing According to Assignment: Bezalel and the Body of ChristBezalel, filled with the Spirit in all manner of workmanship: anointing according to assignment.
31The Third Pillar: The PlaceThe third pillar: why a called and anointed man in the wrong place is a lamp lit in the wrong house.
