The Pursuit of Purpose 12.1
Good Day, Good day, Good day! Oh yeah it is a good day in
Jesus’ Name!
Hoping that you’re getting things done on your side as well,
let’s keep going.
In the last post we spoke about the understanding that in
the Zeal step or dimension, it is The Lord’s Zeal that shall accomplish great
things. IF we immerse ourselves in His Hands and choose to be led of Him, then
even the gates of hades cannot stand against us fulfilling our Purpose.
The Almighty is the One Who created this world that we live
in and although He gave us authority over it to rule and to reign like He does
in heaven…He is still Sovereign and even His foolishness, is far higher than
our own wisdom. It is therefore imperative to remember that He is the One Who
knows the plans that He has for us, to prosper us and not to harm us.
He made us, He knows us, He isn’t shocked by what we
experience, so it’s easy to see why it would benefit us immensely to trust that
His Way is simply the best way.
News Flash! God knows that we have plans in life! I’ve
spoken to many people who think that submitting to the Will of Jehovah means
not having plans at all in life. Errr, no! Check Proverbs 19:21 out;
‘Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the
LORD that will stand.’
As we can all see, He is well aware that we plan things and
aim to achieve them etc. So how is it that we submit to His Way? I will tell
you.
Walking with God is a beautiful journey and He made us with
a will of our own, which He also acknowledges. He does tell us in Isaiah 48:17,
‘Thus
says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your
God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go.’
He teaches us that like David the king, we should go to Him
and ask for direction on where to go and what to do. We do this in prayer and
supplication, and then of course listening to Him answer. We have spent quite a
while on past posts discussing how to hear from God…yes? Right…so that we
should do.
At the same time, it is natural to us to plan things, our
next meal, a trip overseas, to start a business, to have a child, to purchase a
car, to apply for a new job and all that. In many cases, we jump at such
opportunities and talk to God afterwards, right? I know, so does God. What
Proverbs is then talking about is that whatever we are planning, when we walk
with God, it is God’s Sovereign Will that will prevail. So we best brace
ourselves for certain plans of our own, to fail if they are contrary to where
He is taking us. Eish neh?
Here it is…In Zeal, we must understand that God made us and gave us authority on earth as He has in heaven, yet He is still Almighty and He knows the way to navigate this world MUCH better than we do. Period! It is His Word that asks us to go before Him if we want to do something to propel us forward, but also knows that we have many plans. If we are in Him, it is His Will that will prevail and we must accept that with joy, for our own sake.
