Purpose

Many wondered, what is my purpose for living on earth ? Many stressed people out there caught up in circles thinking what is next and get to engrosed in that thought to end up still at the same spot never moved an inch. Many even look for fortune tellers or witch doctors to read the futures for them.

Pastor Derek mentioned during one of the Bible Study lessons,
in fact there are many people out there wondering whats next in line in their life, look at the books on life's purpose, it top the book store charts every week, every month. Look at Rick Warren's purpose driven life , WoW! such a popular book.

Well as for me, i say God has plans for my life. He placed a vision in your mind, a voice by your ear that rings you when ever you drift away. A goal, A dream...

so what are all these ?
YOUR PURPOSE !

Take a step back, have you ever thought God could use you to do great works in the future ?
the bible says in 1 Corinthians 2:9, NKJV
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him"

Did you know friends, that God has already written out the story of your life? He’s written out plans for your good, plans to prosper you, plans for peace in your life.

Sometimes sit back and look into your past, ask yourselves, have god done something in your life, for the past 10 years, 20 years , 25 years ?
If someone would have told me ten years ago while I was in pri 6 that one day I would be going to MI after my sec school life, someone there will bring me to church, become a christian of city harvest, meet gabriel in 2007 , going into SOT in 2011. I would have said, “You’ve totally lost your mind!” At the time, I could not even fathom that! I never knew i would become a christian, given my family strict-ness in religion, never will i even think i will come and then meet my current boyfriend here and still go into SOT.

Then again ask yourselves, have you been blessed ?
-YES i was ! you ?

Friends Therefore, be humble and thankful that what you have now is by God's grace. not by your own strength but by his glory. His plans for you wont stop just here. So you dont have to worry what is next in life. JUST .. Keep believing, keep obeying His Word and keep your heart and mind open to what He has for you because you haven’t seen anything yet! it will keep on getting better. That is how God wants to bless you in your future. He wants to overwhelm you with His goodness and with things so wonderful you can’t even fathom or imagine it! The story of your life isn’t over! Keep moving forward, keep believing, keep hoping, keep forgiving because your days are written out for good, and it’s time to turn the page and see the blessing He has in store for your life! Sometimes, people just need to let go and let God take control of situations.

Yes! sometimes you may feel that you are running dry, God's not answering your prayer, youre facing lots of troubles, you might be facing some circumstances that seem unfair, or things aren’t going the way you planned, and you really want to know what is next... But friends i tell you fear not for, God’s good plan still remains he has wonderful things prepared for your future! He never stops working, 24/7 always working behind the scenes on your behalf to move you forward into the destiny that He has prepared for you.

You know why your life isnt a bed of roses ?
God will use everything you go through to move you forward toward that good plan he planned for you. When things happen that we don’t understand, it’s easy to think, “Why did this happen? Why did this friend betray me? Why did this this and why not that ?” But, you can’t let the things you don’t understand keep you stuck on the same page in the story of your life. You have to decide to turn the page so that you can see the victory waiting for you in the next chapter.
SEE thats what i meant by going in circle with fortune tellers and witch doctors, you are just not flipping the pages in the story of your life.

Psalm 139:16 says
"...all the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be"

Remember dear all, in order to keep your life moving in the right direction, you need to keep your thoughts, heart and words moving in the right direction too. The best way to do this is by declaring His wonderful deeds! Be thankful for what you have now.

“Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare”(Psalm 40:5, NIV)

Therefore When you start recounting all the ways God has blessed your life, you’ll find that His goodness goes beyond what you could ever imagine.

Right now, after reading so much, take a moment and focus on him, think about all the goodness in your life. Declare His deeds! Keep your words and thoughts going in the right direction so you can keep moving forward into the abundant life He has promised you!

SO Today, get ready for an increase. Get prepared for greater things in life. This year is the year to step into blessings rain down by God, you can’t even imagine.

BE BLESSED ~ :)

Unconditional Love

Happy Valentines Day to readers out there. (:

Dear all, how do we define Love ? Bsed on the dictionary out there in the world it is, "an intense affection for another person based on familial or personal ties". Often people naturally loved other people, or we say we love other people, when we are attracted to them and when they make us feel good.

For personal ,
Many times we heard or said, "I love you because you are cute;" or "I love you because you take good care of me;" or "I love you because you are fun to be with" - We love based on feelings and emotions that can change from one moment to the next.

Why are there so many divorce cases out there ? Because husbands and wives supposedly stop loving one another-or they "fall out of love". They may go through a rough patch in their marriage, and they no longer "feel" love for their spouse, so they call it quits. this just prove that some people out there love someone because they fulfill a condition that we require before we can love them. so what happens to the vows made "till death do us part"?

That valentine weekend i witness many couples showed their love and affection again as they made vows to one another. - a loving insight . It reminded me of a verse " love others just as God have loved us "

God's love for us is unconditional, The Bible tells us that "God is Love" (1 John 4:8). throughout the bible, love is everywhere. so what is the definition of God's love ?

John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - God defines love as an act of giving, even at the expense of a sacrifice.

Romans 5:8, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

There are no conditions placed on God's love for us. God doesn't say, "as soon as you repent, I'll love you; " "I'll sacrifice for you if you promise to love Me." - we do not need to do anything in exchange for his love because his love exist forever, it has always been there.

So what is true love here ?

Knowing how unconditional God had loved us, can we be even close to his actions by loving others out there ? Can couples show more affection towards each other , stick to their vows and promises ? Can friends show more grace towards each other , show care and concern and meet the needs of who you called friends ?

This valentines 2011, what are you doing today ? Bless others with the love u can show. Not only to your friends and love ones but remember love your enemies too.

Loyal by time

Time and time again, people tend to suffer from problems. Striving hard to make something happen. Maybe it is in your finances, your health, family issues, relationships etc..

It's good we work hard, but we always have to remember our breakthroughs and victories comes from God. It doesnt come by might or by power. Sometimes people just have to learn to wait upon the right time.

I remembered, Pastor once said, our "birthdays" will come. it is only a matter of time. If breakthroughs have not knock on your door, continue to strive and keep in faith n believe. Sadly, many will turn away from God when they faced problems and down times. These people let emotions take over them.

Ever wondered if this is a test of loyalty ?
Dear all, think again, ever noticed that righteousness and loyalty go together? This also means if we’re not being loyal to things around us (our family, friends, country, job) , we aren’t going to experience God’s best. Loyal people are honorable people, you are a person of integrity. You build trust and security in others. Likewise, to God be loyal.

Think again are you loyal to God? Are you faithful in the things you’re committed to, the things he have asked of you? Or are you letting distractions of everyday life keep you from pursuing loyalty. If you LOVE someone you will be loyal to that person. likewise, Do you LOVE God? Show your love by staying loyal. As you pursue loyalty and righteousness, good things will come the way God has planned out for you, just as he promised "you will find that abundant life the Lord has planned for you" .

At any time always stay faithful and loyal, prayer makes wonders. When you know God is breathing in your direction, dare to take a leap of faith. This is your time to accomplish your dreams. It is like as though you will feel a wind beneath your wings, a supernatural lift, an anointing that will help you accomplish what you could not accomplish on your own. Friends remember deep that it is by his strength and power not by yours.

Ask yourselves are in a situation like that?
- I was! But i did what i have to, i kept praying and believeing. & Today i experienced God's blessing pouring like never ending on me. Breakthroughs in many areas, Miracles after miracles.

So today stay in the mids of his pressence, hear from him. Your season, your birthday will come. Dwell in faith, keep believeing that God can open doors that no man can shut. He is working behind the scenes in your favor. Prepare yourselves to embrace the blessing he had stored for you.

narrow-minded

Sadly, people often dont realise and they do not appreciate what they have.

In some situations, you realised you couldnt click with some people. No matter how hard you tried. afterwhich you realised people hated you, gossiped about you, even if you were doing the right thing.

In the world, These usually happens when you get a blessing.

Maybe you’ve noticed this in your own life. When you start to do better, the people around you don’t celebrate. People around you turn jealous. They show you different kinds of expressions. But always remember you can’t allow the attitudes of others to hold you back and cause you to live in mediocrity. Many tends to forget this point, they tend to get affected by the eartly distractions. So many people today tried to fit themselves into this world thinking that by doing so they will find inner peace. They search through relationships, addictions, money, gadgets and even religion to try to find something that will fill the void inside. They do anything just to be wary of what others think about them.

Imagine doing things against God's will . Sins . just to fit your ass into the surroundings ?

- youre just being shallow humans.

- Ever wonder "What's the point ? " " Why cant you live life just the way you want it ? "

If only people could understand that true peace isn’t found in anything this world has to offer, it can only be found through a personal relationship with Christ. You do not need to please anyone, infact you cant please everyone. What will the world be like then?

Our God gives freely, not as the world gives. He is our provider ! You can’t earn it, and you can’t pay for it. There’s no catch, no strings attached. You can be rest assured that He’s not ever going to take the blessings he bestowed on you away; His gifts are eternal! So friends align your thoughts, attitudes and actions with His Word, that peace and blessings will flood every area.

Instead, of digging for a solution when others critise you when you do the right thing, when people speak ill of you, remember you’re blessed & shake off the criticism of others and receive his blessing with open arms. He knows what is best for you at the right place and time.

Remember the story about isaac friends ? when isaac got blessed, the people around him, the Philistines and his friends all of the sudden got jealous of him. They were fine when he was broke. But when isaac recieved a blessings, people around him hated him.

Dear all . Ever come across a star from God that says “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid”(John 14:27, NIV) ?

- whats there to worry ? why do we need to be influence by the worldy mindset ? why must we get so affected ?

That wasnt the life God has sent us to live for. Instead of fitting into the worldy surroundings , we were supposed to bring these people out.

So ask yourselves what are you doing today ?

Release

Ever wondered why we have areas in our lives where we desire so much for a change, areas that we want to see breakthroughs in but we never see it coming?

Ever tried looking at those problems in another perspective ? what is in the forefront of your mind and in your heart? Are you constantly dwelling on your problems or things that have happened in your past? Don't you get tired ?

- I AM. It's draining ...

Humans often complicate life more often than we are called to do, or need to. We get [BUSY] with trying to figure out this and that and having our noses poke into so many other things just to find a comfort zone. People spend lots of time analyzing situations in circles.

Think out of the boxes today, where have you pitched your tent? where have you placed yourselves in? What are you expecting to see this change, this year in 2011? Where have you placed those promises God promised?

Stop focusing on what’s wrong or what’s not working, stop heading in circles. It’s time to pack your bags and move into the land of hope, faith and expectation. Apply God's word to your situations. activate the change in your life just by remembering and confessing the promises he gave to us. Friends move out if the land of discouragement, move out of the " OH it's not gonna happen ! " , move out of those "I DONT think i can make it" , "I CANT do it ! "
Change today lies in your attitude, your thoughts . So what is your attitude today ?

The world today dwells in negativity , you often hear gossips, emo-ness , self pity, insecurities. Child of God, dwell in his pressence, declare his faithfulness. Remember friends, look in the natural but with the sparks of your spitural eyes. Look far dear friends, in the natural you move towards where your eyes leads you, likewise the spiritual, whatever you focus on you will be drawn towards it.

Therefore today, If you are constantly dwelling on your problems or things in your past, wondering “what if,” "why not ? ", "maybe" then you will stay right where you are.

Choose to forgive today, choose to let go and release those problems, choose to make that change. Turn your focus point, take a step towards where your spirit man leads you. you will never be put to shame. pitch your tent in the land of hope - the promise land where his peace, blessing and victory reign forever.

The change starts when you give God your heart and soul, dwell in his pressence and peace will be upon you, breakthroughs will come.

Get out of those problem circles today.

It may seemed difficult but it is just all in the mind. It isnt far :)
