Experiences Lead To Our Purpose In Life

by Leave a Comment

  To discover our true purpose in life we first have to recognize what talents that God has given us and then we can begin to develop through prayer and daily practice as we mature to fully utilize what God has given us to use for His glory and not our own. When we learn to apply our experiences in life with our God given talents then this can lead us to discover our purpose in a successful life. The world teaches us to seek success for ourselves but God teaches us that true success is seeking it for others. 

 It is in our human nature to judge someone based on their appearance, their history, and their education but what we must recall is 1 Samuel 16:7,”For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”  True success comes when we recognize our talents under God and then we help others discover theirs by helping them to one day do the same with others. For there is nothing in this world that can compare to the gift of God that fills our hearts and soul when we help another child discover their purpose in life through the love of Jesus Christ.   

 As a parent, as a teacher, as a coach, as an employer, and as a leader it is our responsibility under God to recognize the God given talents in others to help develop them for our children’s future. It is in our nature to try and develop someone to fit our mold but we must recall that it is God’s place to develop each individual while we obey His Word in serving the Lord’s desires instead of our own. When we try to guide someone into a decision or deny them an oppurtunity to discover their talents in life then we could be placing that person in a form spiritual bondage that will not only rob them of their joy but it can also affect the future generations in life until someone learns how to break that chain through the love of Jesus Christ.

  True Success is not measured in material means but measured in how we teach others to utilize and maintain what God has provided. I challenge you to teach others how to discover their talents in life through the love of Jesus Christ by helping them to follow their hearts desires to insure their steps in the future…amen

Look For What God Wants In Your Life

by Leave a Comment

 Often we think that events just happen to us when we don’t understand the Word of God. The Lord uses common occurences to lead us where He wants and it is important for us to evaluate all situations as potential divine appointments that are designed to help shape our lives. Both our good and bad circumstances alike help build certain qualities in us that not only make us stronger and wiser but they lead us to serve God in new areas that we may never expect.

 One of the most beautiful things in life is when we begin to connect the dots as we mature to see what God has taught us and how He has brought us forward. We all face difficult times in life and go through things that we don’t understand but when we begin to look for what God wants in our life verses what we may desire then we are on the way to a new beginning.

Do You Know How To Walk With Jesus

by Leave a Comment

 Did you know that from the day we were born as Christians that we entered a relay race that has already been won? The unfortunate side of this race is how we in our youth try to run too fast instead of learning to pace ourselves to make it to the end. Then as we get older we tend to lay down on the track while snarling at the ones that come by. The other sad part of this race is how so many get lost and how we even tend to forget what Jesus did for each of us on the cross.   

 As we walk in life God gives us our direction and the lanes that we are to follow. It is our job to be an example in the life that we have been given to teach our children how to receive the paton in the Word of God for them to one day walk on their own and then to pass it on to their children in the future. Life is not just a walk in the park because we all have a purpose to help others along the Way. Things happen in life for reasons that we can’t explain but all that matters in the end is that we have allowed Jesus to be our saviour and our friend…amen

 Always remember the start is important but the finish is even more crucial…

By Faith God Restores Our Lives

by Leave a Comment

 By faith many marriages have been healed. By faith many that have faced difficult times made it through. By faith our families can be restored and by faith our nation can overcome! No matter how bad things may seem we are to never lose hope in our circumstances because we never know what God has in store. He allows us to fall to teach us who picks us up and to make sure that we stay humble in the future.

 All it takes is one man of true faith and God will work wonders to help uplift His children. If we sit around with little hope in our voice then how can we honestly expect the moral of those around us to be? I don’t know about you feel but my God is an All Powerful God that gives Mercy in His Grace and nothing is over until He says it is over! So, until that day we go home we should be doing everything we can to teach our children how to never give up or lose hope no matter what they face to show how God delivers us from this place.  

 Life is not about us. It is about serving God’s purpose and what we leave behind to help someone in their future…amen

A Divine Appointment…

by Leave a Comment

 Did you know that everyday that we are given there is a test that is placed right before us? This test is given to see how well we will follow and how well we will serve. Test come in many different ways from the way we take care of ourselves, to the way we treat others, to the way we act in negative circumstances, to the way we conduct business, to the way we handle our temptations, to the way we handle our responsibilities, to the way we handle our pressures, to the way we handle our confrontations, and just simply to see how well we will serve.

 This life is no joke! We are accountable to God for every action that we take! Every word that comes out of our mouth and every action that we make is being recorded by the Supreme Judge in Heaven above. In order to improve our walk and to grow stronger in faith we should look at every person we meet as a Divine appointment to hear what needs to be heard or to help those that are in need. We all face different types of tests and I challenge you today and every other day to look at everything as something that God has put before you to help insure your steps in the future…amen

Spiritual Revelations

Don’t be like Eli in 1st Samuel and miss something that has been given by God. If you recall with Eli he did not listen because the Word of God was rare in those days and he did not recognize what was taking place until he saw the persistence of Samuel…
