Purpose, Planning and Time Management

In this transformative sixth session at YnS Camp 2025, Dr. Kwaku Obeng taught on Purpose, Planning and Time Management, anchoring the message in the divine call to look, see, and become like God. This phrase became the heartbeat of the session—our universal purpose is not rooted in earthly roles or fleeting achievements, but in beholding God, understanding His nature, and being conformed to His image. Dr. Kwaku dismantled the misconception that our occupation defines our purpose. God did not create us merely to fill roles or perform tasks—He designed us with a transcendent purpose that stretches beyond time and into eternity. Everything we do on earth is preparation for what is to come. Since our earthly life is only a fraction of our eternal existence, it is misaligned to tie our purpose to temporary pursuits. Purpose, he explained, is the basis for evaluating a product—if we live outside our Maker’s specification, we risk missing the standard for which we were created. To live purposefully is to reflect Christ in every sphere—our work, our families, our relationships—recognizing that we are His representatives. Every action should magnify and please Him. To fulfill this divine mandate, we must steward our time wisely and plan intentionally. Time is not just a resource—it is a tool for transformation. By managing it well, we align our daily lives with the eternal purpose God has set before us: to look upon Him, see clearly, and become like Him.
