Fulfilling My Purpose: Day 2

Day 2 – May 4^th 2016

I have been feeling stressed, lazy and well basically not myself lately before I went to bed last night. This morning I woke up early and read my morning daily bread. For today’s title it was: “Victory in Distress”

Micah 7:8 – “Rejoice not against me, O mine enemies: when I fall,  shall rise; when I sit in darkness the Lord shall be a light unto me.”

I felt as though this verse was speaking to me. God was telling me not to fear, for the enemy rejoices for but a moment. God will raise me up from my distress, I just need to take heed of His voice and draw closer to Him. God’s light is prevailing and the enemy is not happy, but I rejoice for the keeper of Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. My life is placed in the hands of the Almighty God, and what he tells me to do that I will! Though none go with me, still I will follow, for if Christ be with me, who can be against me?

"Though none go with me, still I will follow"

I still need to be more energetic towards fulfilling my daily obligations. Lord help me.

Fulfilling My Purpose: Day 1

I have been on a spiritual journey for the past 40 days to find my purpose through reading Rick Warren’s book: “A purpose driven life”. It has inspired me, therefore I have decided to make an account of the next 30 days of my life after knowing my purpose.

Life purpose: (29/4/16)

God’s purpose for me is to kindle that fire of love for Him in this generation. For some, I will lead them directly to Christ and for others I will lead them towards Christ and for others I will just guide them towards Christ; place in them the seed that wonders about eternity and God in His own sovereignty will save them in His time. I am just to equip, warn and mentor them to ensure that they are in shape in are able to continue to achieve the will of God in their lives.

Day 1 – May 3^rd 2016

Since discovering and acknowledging God's purpose for me, I have been distracted and the Lord has warned me of the distractions and I need to remove them, because they are stumbling blocks towards me fulfilling my purpose. 

I have been distracted by mobile phone games, telling stories and social media. I use to have it under control but now I do not know. They just have been becoming addictive and such time consumers, I have also been filled with stress and frustration and many other negative feelings that I dislike. These have been some contributing factors towards keeping me stagnant in relation towards me fulfilling my purpose.

Today the Lord brought three people across my way and they all told me that they needed help, that they were suffering deep down beneath the surface and behind that fake smile they give to everyone telling them that they are okay. Because I have been distracted lately, my mind and heart has not been in tune so I could not do anything until I got myself right with God.

I have the serious urge to pray for them. But I have not spoken to them; but I need to seek God’s counsel first so that I know how to go about with fulfilling my purpose the best way I possibly can.

Lord help me.

Looking forward to the coming days
