FROM BEING BUSY TO TRUE PURPOSE (II)

*FROM BEING BUSY TO TRUE PURPOSE* (II)

_Key Bible Text:_
*The righteous are like trees planted in the house of the Lord , that flourish in the Temple of our God, that still bear fruit in old age and are always green and strong.*
(Psalm 92:13‭-‬14 (GNT))

_Bible Insight:_
Each of us is called to do something great in this world. Let the implications of that sink in for a minute. The Creator of the universe has a plan for your life. The very God who spoke the world into motion created you for a purpose. 

God has set our feet on a path that leads to where and how we can live out our calling.

We often make ourselves very busy because we are searching for our calling. But when we slow down and choose to be busy only when what we are doing is our God-given purpose, we can see where God is leading us. 

I want it to comfort you that you do not have to strive endlessly to be good enough or to work hard enough or to find God’s plan for your life. If you stay focused on God, you will not miss your destiny. 

I have learned that God plants gifts in us and provides opportunities throughout our lives to fulfill our life’s purpose. As we start breaking busy in our lives, our purpose begins to shine brightly and clearly. When we stop saying yes to everything and start asking God to direct each of our steps, we begin to find our passion and our purpose in life.

MEDITATION:
*Identify a passion you would like to pursue or a gift you would like to develop, praying to God for his guidance.*

THE WAY OF THE CROSS (II)

*DAILY DEW 16TH/SEPTEMBER/2021* *THE WAY OF THE CROSS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.* (1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ *Through Christ’s death on the cross, those who turn to Him are delivered from both the penalty and the power of sin.* (1 Peter 2:24 New American Standard Bible) What are the benefits that accrue to us from following the cross, or carrying the cross to follow Jesus? In answering this, we need to understand that it is the death and resurrection of Jesus on the cross that gives the cross its power.  "1. Through Christ’s death on the cross, those who turn to Him are delivered from the penalty of sin." This is clearly the meaning of the words, “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree.” By using the word “tree” rather than “cross,” Peter no doubt had in mind Deuteronomy 21:22-23, where it pre...

FINANCING MISSIONS (II)

*DAILY DEW 21ST/DECEMBER/2021* *FINANCING MISSIONS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.* (Galatians 6:2, 10 (KJV))  _Bible Insight:_ How do we get it?  Perhaps if I were to tell you how we do NOT get it, it would help. We do not raise it by means of suppers, bazaars, concerts, rummage sales, or oyster stews. Not because I am against these methods, but because they will not work. What does a business man do when he runs across a method that will not work? He scraps it, does he not?  Now listen. I am responsible, humanly speaking, for the personal support of three hundred and fifty missionaries. Every month of my life I have to get more than $25,000, or humanly speaking, they will starve.  How many of you business men carry as heavy a responsibility? What would you do if you had to get $25...

TRUSTING AGAINST ALL ODDS*

Image
*DAILY DEW 24TH/DECEMBER/2021* *TRUSTING AGAINST ALL ODDS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him."* (Job 13:15 (KJV))  _Bible Insight:_ It's an uphill task trying to understand God's plan, especially when we can't make logical sense of what we see happening to and around us. But we aren't instructed to understand His plans, but to TRUST HIM and be secure in the knowledge that He's working everything to ultimately turn out for our good.  God won't mismanage your life. Trust Him with it and be willing and quick to obey His instructions even when they don't fit into your parameter of what's logical. One of the truest form of worship we can give to God is to TRUST Him - leaning our entire existence on the unchangeability of His nature and counsels. ❤ _MEDITATION:_ *In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.* (Psalms 71:1 (KJV)) *#Chibuikem_...
