God Has a Purpose

Jesus wants us to have a sense of purpose so we can fulfill our destiny. You see, we can fill our lives doing good things and things that we are good at, or we can fill our lives doing God things, things that fulfill His purpose and enable us to reach our destinies. If you understand your purpose you will fill your life accomplishing what God has planned and purposed for you. It’s that simple.

God is a God of purpose. If you want to know the purpose of a thing, ask God about it. We are the stewards of the gifts and callings that God has placed in our lives. It is our responsibility to manifest them for His glory and purposes. We cannot successfully determine our own purpose. We must discover it in the Spirit. Let me say  it  is up to us to press into God, to seek Him and discover what purpose He has for us.

You know, sometimes our dreams are not fulfilled. Sometimes there are delays in the answer to our prayers and our plans are not coming true but God has a purpose in it.  When you go through your trials, when you go through your problems, I want you to believe that one of the ways of being happy is to believe that God has a beautiful purpose for your trial, for your problem and for your difficulty.

“Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails” ~ Proverbs 19:21

God is in Control of Everything

There are occasions when God wants to show His wrath and to make known on His power. That’s what we have experienced when our city got hit by typhoon a month ago.  The devastation ruined many lives, properties and belongings.

When my family and I was at the rooftop, I have seen and heard many people screaming, crying and calling for help. In the middle of the flood, we prayed and asked God for help. I know that God is in control of everything so I was not scared or worried about it. The song “STILL” from the Hillsong suddenly popped up in my mind and we sang this song and worship God during the storm.

God is in complete control when His people are being persecuted. God controls all things, working out everything in conformity with the plan and purpose of His own will.We do not expect to understand fully the purpose for our trials until our Lord calls us home to be with Him. But we do know that He loves us too much to harm us, and that He is far more concerned with our welfare than we are. God’s choices are always right.

Nothing in this universe happens by chance or accident. For every effect there is a cause. God works all things after the counsel of His own will…that we should give praise for his glory.

Dealing with Difficult People

When you lead a group, you will deal with people and  eventually, you will come across group members with problems like these. We all know a lot of people are unreasonable and even we as  Christians who will run into people but they will not listen, deal, resolve, or handle things  in God’s way. They only want their way to be followed.

But I know that with each type of  this kind of person, prayer is a key because God has brought the person to our group for a reason, and it might be to help us grow as a disciple and a leader. All we need is to pray for this person and ask for wisdom to handle the situation.

Prayer is the most important act for us in any manner and we have to remember that obedience is what counts and not how others respond to us.  We are even called to bless these unreasonable people and we do that by remaining true to His Lordship in our maturity.

We will not get discourage about the situation and let the bad people get you down.  We will not allow ourselves to suffer in our spiritual pilgrimage because of someone else. Remember, Do not let yourself fall to the world’s way, regardless of what the other person does. Give them over to God because He is the one who dispenses justice and revenge and not you.

Relying on God

We do rely a lot on technology, don’t we? From satellite navigation systems, computers to gadgets like Ipad, Iphone and so much more! We have become more and more dependent upon our world of technology. It is important, though, that we step back every now and then and remind ourselves, “We can survive without all these gadgets, but we cannot survive without God.”

In Psalm 20:7, David expressed it this way: “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the LORD our God.” Chariots and horses were certainly not wrong; no more so than modern gadgets. But it was necessary to reinforce the truth that our faith in not in such things, but in God Almighty.
