PURPOSE

 






To fulfil God's purpose you have to be aligned with him, know how he speaks to you and submit all your will and desire for God's own which would not always be rosy.

You also have to learn to give glory to God and God alone when he starts to manifest his works and power through you. You have to be very prayerful, praying always, so you won't lose connection with God.

Most especially purpose might bring you face to face with your fears or with something you have avoided like a plague all your life (e.g. God might want to heal you from an experience that you always try to conceal because you are ashamed of, so you can be a vessel in is hands to reach out to many who has gone through the same thing.) which might require a lot of sacrifice, your life might even be at stake.

You might have to go to places and do things that you dread doing but turning away from it would be turning away from God's plan so when God has led you into doing something that is difficult or seems very impossible rather than running away in fear, take up faith and courage not just in your self but in God especially.


Purpose is not just one thing. It evolves over time and for every season of your life, you have a purpose which main goal is to make Jesus Christ known or to be a light in this dark world. It might be just in the life of one person or many people but as far as God has sent you do it, do it very well according to His leading and live the rest to him.  Discovering purpose has to also do with been sensitive to the needs of people around you. Not just their physical or materialistic needs but also and more importantly their soul needs and been able to come through for them by the help of God.

Lastly your purpose might be associated with so much pain and sacrifice but the joy and glory associated with it at the end would be something you can't comprehend. Yours might be overcoming that addiction, leaving a relationship that is not bringing glory to God. However small or big it is, I encourage you to endure the cross now for the joy that is set before you.

May God help us fulfil purpose.

DO NOT HOLD BACK

  In as much as I believe God places people in our lives by himself, I also believe there is a place of intentionality and effort when it comes to making friends and sustaining friendships and any other type of relationship (even the one we have with our parents) How many friends would you still have if you did not stop communicating? How many relationships have you lost today because you both decided to wake up one morning and act as if no one existed. How many friendships have been lost because of the refusal to say “hi”, “How are you doing” “longtime” “Congratulations” etc. How many destiny relationships would we have had if we communicated how much we admired a person or a person's gift rather than been a silent fan? How many sisters would we have if we took out a few minutes from our day to know why a person looked unhappy or why they were crying and then encourage them? How many more acquaintances would we have if we did not stop saying hi or good morning because we felt

REJECTION

Rejection is real, it is a deep thing that has eaten into the self esteem of a lot of folks. Although we have different personality types and I have to admit that some people are not moved by Rejection at all but they are some other people who little show of Rejection remains in them and builds up into something that can only be healed by serious therapy sessions of which unfortunately not everyone can afford. Rejection can show up when we get turned down buy our crush after we finally find the courage to ask them out. Fo r the ladies, it might come subtly when the guy you like overlooks you but you see him showing interest to someone else. Rejection can come when you have done every thing possible to fit in with someone/ a group but never felt like you belonged among them. It can come when you think you have finally found a friend that suddenly stops associating with you or a romantic partner who was no longer interested in a relationship with you. Rejection can come when you beli

GOSSIP AND THE CHURCH

Gossiping is not unusual in communities like the market, classroom, salon etc, simply because human beings are the unit of this communities. Something unfortunate happens to a person today and before you know it the whole community is talking about it up to the extent that the person with issue senses that "his or her matter don cast". But can we avoid gossiping in the church as much as possible. The church is supposed to be a safe place where people come to find spiritual healing. It is unfair that some people would cone with  one challenge or the other and the same community of believers that are supposed to help them out would be the same one talking ill about them and destroying their reputation. If your motive is not to help or find solution then there is probably no need for you to share another person's buisness. Y ou might intentionally or unintentionally hear someone issue in your church, whatever the case is, try to keep it to yourself. If you cannot help them
