A PURPOSEFUL LIFE

-

Matthew 21:3-5

If anyone asks what you are doing, just say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will immediately let you take them.”

This took place to fulfill the prophecy that said,

“Tell the people of Jerusalem, ‘Look, your King is coming to you. 

He is humble, riding on a donkey - riding on a donkey’s colt.’”


Christ lived a life of purpose when He was here on earth as a man. All His doings were according to prophesy fulfilling them as prophets prophesied of old. His triumphant entry into Jerusalem was foretold and all the things He did even His suffering, death and His resurrection. 


One thing about living a purposeful life is that all things work out to fulfill that purpose. For the owner of the mission will supply all that is needed to make it happen. Many a spiritual leader will begin with the Lord's mandate but whether by lack of faith or distraction of people they begin to live like if they called themselves. 


Instead of trusting in the Lord, they begin to trust in themselves, minding people and before long they seem to totally go off course and create their own mandate and call. 


The Lord by His grace would bring everyone on assignment for Him who has derailed back to the right path. 


As we go on this journey let us remember that we all have a purpose, yes we work, study, take up various forms of responsibility all in tune with our journey, we must never loose sight of the major assignment. One very important way to ensure this is to stay prayerful. Constant communication with the Father will ensure we are on track so that no matter how overwhelming it seems we do NOT go completely off course. 


Mark 1:35

Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray.


Luke 3:21-24, Mark 1:32&38, Luke 6:12-13, Matthew 14:23, we have about 25 instances were Christ separates Himself to go pray. If the Son of Man needed to stay in prayer this much, we very well do too. 


Then we see that all things begin to fall in place. For look at it, why would I invest in what is not purposeful to me. Many a time people ask "Lord bless me with this, bless me with that etc". 


The question is, FOR WHAT PURPOSE? 


1John 5:14 

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:


Dear Lord may I stay in purpose, is there anyway I have derailed, please bring me back on track. May all I do please thee Dear Father. 


He calls us blessed. 


Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
