ON FINDING PURPOSE (III)

*ON FINDING PURPOSE* (III)

_Key Bible Text:_
*And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.*
(Matthew 4:18-20 (KJV)) 

_Bible Insight:_

One danger with trying to find out your purpose or what exactly you should be doing is that, should you find out, you will try to make it happen yourself and in your own time. 
This does not mean you should not pray for leading or direction, but while you pray, unless and until God tells you otherwise, keep doing what you are doing. And do it well! 

All through scriptures, there is not one single person who spent his time seeking to find out what his life's purpose or calling should be. Usually, God was the person who came looking  for them and telling them what they should do. We like to call it divine interruption. 

Sometimes, God would announce their lives' mission before they were even born. This doesn't in any way suggest that God must come to you in a spectacular way for it to be that you are in the center of God's will for you. As long as you are a child of God and are daily loving and walking with God, that's fine; that's all that matters. 

Whether God decides to send you to save the whole of Asia or He allows you to sing in the choir of your small church, that is okay. 

There were many soldiers who fought the many wars that Israel had to fight on their way to Canaan; though we do not know their names, and God did not come to them like He came to Moses and Joshua, would we say they did not live lives of purpose? 

Many of us do not know who Lapidot is. But Lapidot was the husband of Deborah, the great prophetess and judge of Israel. Though his name was mentioned once in the bible, yet I celebrate him as a man who understood his place and chose to live the life of obscurity that God elected for him. 

_MEDITATION:_
*The scripture says that there is time for everything and truly there is and it is God who knows the times of your life. And He is the One who makes ALL things beautiful in His time.*

WELCOME TO THE GOSPEL

*DAILY DEW 11TH/DECEMBER/2021* *WELCOME TO THE GOSPEL* _Key Bible Text:_ *And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!* (Romans 10:15 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ In the old testament, an adulterer or adulteress was condemned to be stoned to death before God. That was the law. In the new testament, Jesus said to an adulteress "I do not condemn you, go and sin no more" Believe me, the law had not changed. The penalty for adultery was still death. And Jesus did not come to abolish the law, or change the law. He came to FULFILL it. So He had the right to tell her to go because He was going to bear the penalty for her adultery. He had taken her condemnation upon Himself. He was going to die for her. And so He could tell her to GO....and sin no more. Brothers and sisters; welcome to the Gospel.  _MEDITATION:_ *"The real gospel makes a poor man

What's Your Focus?*

Image
*DAILY DEW 19TH/JULY/2021* *What's Your Focus?*  _Key Bible Text:_ *For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. As one who reckons, he says to you, eat and drink, yet his heart is not with you [but is grudging the cost].* (Proverbs 23:7 (AMP))  _Bible Insight:_ I’ve learnt one thing in life so far: what you focus on somehow expands. Focus on your business, invest your thoughts and imaginations on how to grow it, talk about it with your spouse and friends; and gradually but surely, it will expand.  On the other hand, spend your time on every gist in town and watch the uselessness of your life expand. You will know more gists and gossips and, by the law of attraction, you will attract people like you and your life will nosedive or at best stagnate.  The human mind is powerful to the extent that we focus and whether the focus is to the left or the right, your mind does not care. It will give you back, in multiple folds, what you are steadily planting in it.  This is why the B

As Jesus or As yourself?*

Image
*DAILY DEW 2ND/DECEMBER/2021* *As Jesus or As yourself?* _Key Bible Text:_ * A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.* (John 13:34 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ One of the most outstanding things about the Christmas season is the birth of Christ. While we must remember or even celebrate this blessed season, we must never forget the spirit behind God's move and decision in sending His son Jesus. The answer to the why of Jesus' coming to earth is simply, LOVE. John 3:16 may have been abused but it cannot be overused or overemphasized. Jesus is God's decision born out of love. "For God so loved", he couldn't help but "gave His only begotten son". And even that had a reason, "that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life". So God's love in sending Jesus was not exactly "reckless" but absolutely intentional and expedien
