The Pursuit Of Purpose 12

Avuxeni! Molweni! Dumelang! Greetings from Pretoria!
 
I’ve had a lovely day, plans upon plans to move forward as I aim to get things done every single day. No messing around I tell ya!
I hope you are well and progressing as well in 2015.
Let’s do this! We are now in the last step of The Purpose Formula called, Zeal. By definition this word commands some respect:
·         great energy or enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or an objective.’
 

Someone who is Zealous is one who is highly passionate about something or someone and as far as I’m concerned, consumed by it. Zeal speaks of a serious commitment to a cause and the success thereof. Herein lies the driving force of fulfilling our Purpose in Him.

 Let’s look at the Word;
  • Isaiah 9:6-7 says, “6For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
  • 7Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”
 
King David observes this Revelation as he admonishes God in front a large congregation in 1 Chronicles 29:10,
 
  • 10Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. 11Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. 12Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. 13Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.”
 
There is something that we learn about life when we walk the face of the earth…God Is Sovereign. That’s it. I heard someone say that God is a myth, while another says that God is just another option out there or even a last resort after you’ve tried everything. Yet another young man told me that God doesn’t exist.
Heh heh, this world is full of opinions and views and perspectives I tell you…and make no mistake, all the options that are available to us have caused unmistakable confusion. What do we do? Stay Tuned to these posts, we get into that soon.
 
For the purpose of The Formula at hand…the first thing that we see is that in this world, if we are to have True Success, we need to understand that it is the Zeal of The Lord that will accomplish it! Our zeal is limited to our own strength, but if it is the Zeal of The Lord that we are consumed by, then it is dependent on Him to get it done. Yes? Oh Yes!

Here it is…
It is The Zeal of The Lord that accomplishes feats both great and small in our own eyes, yet all have their place in the advancement of The Kingdom of God. The first thing we need to understand about this dimension is…Allow the success of our quest to depend on Him than ourselves.
 
On the next post…

Stay Tuned…
 
TGBTG!

Stay Blessed, Be Multiplied
