You know that nagging idea that won’t go away? The one you keep brushing off while scrolling through Instagram reels or folding laundry? Yep, that might be your Purpose Project trying to get your attention.
But how can you tell it’s not just another fleeting idea?
Here are 5 unmistakable signs you should look out for:

1. It won’t leave you alone
You’ve buried it, prayed it away, even fasted to “focus on something else,” yet it keeps popping up. In conversations. In dreams. In other people’s testimonies. Sis, that’s not a coincidence, that’s purpose knocking (loudly).
2. You keep spotting “clues” everywhere
It’s like God is putting breadcrumbs in your path. You overhear someone talking about starting a foundation, or someone randomly asks, “Why haven’t you started that podcast yet?” Divine setup alert!
3. You’re passionate… Even in secret
When you imagine yourself doing this thing, you feel alive. You may not have told anyone, but in your heart, you’ve played out the scenarios over and over again – what it would feel like to launch, speak, write, lead.
4. Fear is loud — Really loud
Ironically, the bigger the purpose, the louder the fear. If the thought of stepping out makes your palms sweaty, it’s probably not just a cute hobby. It’s something worth birthing.
5. You’re waiting for perfect conditions
You keep saying, “When I have more money… more time… more support…” But let’s be honest: you’re procrastinating. And deep down, you know obedience doesn’t wait for convenience.
Erm… Sound familiar?
Don’t ignore it. That book, community, nonprofit, podcast, business idea – it’s not random. It’s divine. The best time to respond was yesterday. The next best time is NOW. It’s time to respond.
Your Purpose Project is not a random idea. It’s a divine deposit. And it’s time to stop brushing it off. You may not have it all figured out, but if God planted it, He’ll fund it, guide it, and grow it.
So here’s what you can do today:
- Take 10 minutes to journal what’s been on your heart.
- Ask God again: “What do You want me to do with this?”
- Set a mini-goal to act on it this month — even if it’s just starting a draft or talking to a mentor.
