How to master your Gift
How to master your Gift
“One of the greatest causes of failures is not identify the objective of success.”
In other words: people fail because they don’t know what they want to succeed in...
To aim at nothing, they say, is to hit everything…
and most people on the planet are going around/running around with a loaded life aiming at nothing...
and that’s what is most of the cause of our frustration and depression… we know we are busy we know we are active but not focusing on anything specific
most of the human race generally live without making any specific plans or commitments on all levels of life…
example: can we meet? whenever… can we go? anytime… what do you want to do? anything… etc
they have no appointment with life… no time to accomplish their destiny.
most people try to do everything yet accomplish very little or next to nothing.
the question is what are you doing that makes you so tired but didn’t get you any closer then where you wanted to go?
some people are busy doing unimportant things.
Mediocrity is a region bounded on the north by compromise, on the south by indecision and on the east by past thinking and on the west by lack of vision…
and most people live in that territory called mediocrity
most of the human race are suffering from the problem of being … general…
The problem with the human race is not with the color of their skin, but the color of their lives.
most of us don’t have a problem with our pigmentation
weather you are black or white or brown or high yellow or pink or red or whatever color you are…it really doesn’t count weather you will be a success or a failure.
your pigmentation is not the problem, the problem is the color of our lives and that color is grey...
“they” never have a exact way of life, “they” never have a precise way of living...”they” are always just there...
May claim their grey lives is a result of their pursuit of balance in their life.
example: I don’t want to go to much on one side or the other side… I don’ t really want to go after anything because I might miss something...
what “they” call balance is really an excuse for not making a choice...
others are so decisive their only decision is not to decide… and that’s how most people live.
BALANCE IS NOT THE INCLUSION OF EVERYTHING
AND IT’S NOT THE AVOIDANCE OF ANYTHING
Balance is usually just an excuse people use for being lukewarm.
example: I don’t want to commit to anything because i may miss what i really want to do...
AND “they” use that excuse for 45 years and they end up being an average mediocre person.
Balance is the equilibrium while moving toward a destination
“Balance is the maintenance of equilibrium… keeping your equilibrium on your way to a destination.”
example: a boat … it’s only purpose … balancing on the ocean making sure it doesn’t tip over… just for 50 years just balancing, for 90 years just balancing...
BALANCE IS A MEANS TO AN END.
We say we don’t want to choose anything specific in life, because we got to keep balance...
“a boat keeps balance on its way to a specific port.”
YOU GOT TO GO SOMEWHERE WHILE MAINTAINING YOUR BALANCE.
LIFE WAS NEVER DESIGNED TO LIVE IN THE GREY…
The vast majority of the people in the world have worked so hard and accomplished nothing…
in hindsight we look back and think to ourselves what have i done with my life, what have I made as a contribution to he human race?
what have I really left to the next generation to know that i was here...
as a matter of fact the best thing a person receives if they are lucky for 30, 40, years of service is a pen or a clock...
I SUBMIT TO YOU: the nature of God is purpose
The word purpose is the SAME WORD in the Greek for intent...
GOD IS A GOD OF PURPOSE, HE’S A GOD OF INTENT.
“He’s always going somewhere and always doing something.”
nowhere in the Bible does it say God entertained…There is no entertainment in God...
there is no page in the Bible that appears just to let people see how good He looks.
every appearance of God in history is because He wanted something done and He was doing it.
“God doesn’t just show up … God acts.
Most of the humans on the planet basically just show up.
God hates the concept of a Grey Life…
God doesn’t want anybody to be grey. Because of His integrity...
A grey life means it’s neither yes or no… it’s maybe.
Jesus has some things to say about maybe...
Matthew 5 Jesus talks about grey living… He was very infact about it.
He doesn’t like people who can’t decide to decide.
and most of the people in the world.are living in this grey area of life.
they’re never quite on one thing … or in their heart...
But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Jesus said it’s evil to be in grey life (grey area)… you need to be either going or coming… you’re either up or down… you’re either doing something or doing nothing… either you’re heading in a direction or you are heading in another direction…
YOU CAN’T JUST SUSPEND YOUR LIFE...
THERE ARE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT SURE WHO THEY ARE, WHAT THEY’RE ABOUT, WHAT THEY ARE DOING...
And they are spending money, wearing close and eating food...
“Don’t waste your time…Don’t be a person that has no INTENT with not doing anything with your life...”
this is A depressing reality...
and GOD HAS INVESTED SO MUCH INTO YOU...God hates to see you suspended...
Get out of the flow of life of society the norm… get out of being seduced by evil spirits and doctrine of demons… put your foot on the ground...
another aspect of God hating the “grey area” the “grey life...”
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
“CHOOSE THIS DAY (TODAY), STOP PUTTING OFF AND PROCRASTINATING AND HOPING YOU GET THERE…
HE SAID “DECIDE IF YOU ARE GOING TO GET A CURSE OR A BLESSING!”
Decide weather you are going to go with the Father of lies influence who’s nature and purpose is to kill, steal and destroy you…OR if you will decide to go with the influence of the will, plan, the purpose and promises of God who sent His Son Jesus for you to have life and life more abundantly… in Jesus name.
Most people specifically to God’s people drift in and out of holiness.
EITHER BE HOLY OR UNHOLY… BE WHOLLY HOLY OR WHOLLY UNHOLY… BE SOMETHING...
I say that to say please in the name of Jesus choose go in the direction of Holiness.
DECIDE WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE.
some people flirt with God … they wink with God… they hang out with God sometime… “when they get in trouble...”
