IT IS WRITTEN

2 Corinthians 2 vs. 13…IT IS WRITTEN…I BELIEVE THEREFORE HAVE SPOKEN….in the same Spirit of faith I believe therefore I speak.

Its amazing how what you know can determine your exposure to the performance of the purpose set before you. It is also amazing that in spite of the role information plays in the performance of the will of God in our life, we carelessly ignore the need to study the word of God.

The bible records that Paul tirelessly moved to spread the gospel irregardless of the challenges that came his way. In that same vain, one would expect that we in this generation would defy the odds and pursue whatever it is that God has called us to do but unfortunately that seem not to be the case as all we ever do in the face of challenges is to relent and reframe from further pursuing the cause of vision and purpose hoping to be free from oppression by relaxing a bit.

Let me remind you that there’s nothing such as freedom as you only choose what you’re bound by, we cannot in the name of challenges refuse to do that which we’ve been called to do. I strongly believe there’s a battle for the performance of the purpose of God and we are supposed to be the last arsenals but we seem to be distracted by too many other “on the side” purposes which in themselves are not bad but we need to understand their place in the equation of God, we cannot serve the creation in place of the creator hoping to find fulfillment. We are bought with a price, there’s a need for you to begin a re-evaluation of the purpose of God and ask yourself what have we and how is what we have currently expected to benefit the purpose of God and we need to also ask, am I really using what I have for the furtherance of the purpose of God…..then and only then can we begin to appreciate the warning that a laid back believer is no believer at all, he or she is another prey for the devil.

Back to the need for information to drive our conviction, Paul knew to what extend he had been called to spread the word, you and I need to understand the magnitude of expectation God has placed on us. When the bible records it is written, its simply implies that a lot has been written either on earth or on the throne of God that requires our attention, if anything has been written about the performance of the vision in your life, you can only perform that vision to the limits of the information you have, similarly the difference between the knows and the know not is seen in the activities they engage in, not to mean activity determines focus but I strongly see that the knows are often focus driven and less quick to succumb to distractions while the know not always diversify at every given opportunity.

When a believer begins to feel laid back, it simply implies that a lot of his or her time has been spent on distractions. The enemy wants you and I to be busy, he wants you to loose focus and the best way to let that happen to give legitimacy to our pursuit for happiness. Unfortunately, a lot of us are found giving in to this deception. Its is amazing how many people work to be happy whereas one of the things I am discovering daily is that whatever minor objective would bring you the right enable-ness to achieve the major objective of serving the lord does not require all the effort in the world to make work, not to mean we should quit our jobs and stop pursuing any of the set goals in our life but you just need to understand that God never subjects the workability of a project to your hard effort, its not about hard work, its about smart work.

It is written, if the same spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead lives within you, it world quicken your mortal bodies…… we see that the quickening is done not by our effort but by the spirit of God. I strongly oppose the need to slave through life seeking to achieve what God has already done. The need to be successful in the pursuit of God and his purpose is supposed to take centre stage in all our getting but what do we see, we tirelessly work and work to see that we achieve our mundane needs. Another car would be nice, another house would be nice, another this and another that and life is spent working to achieve the less important things of life. It is written that the value of a man does not consist of the abundance of his possession; it is also written that you are bought with a price; if this be the case then we need to act as though we understand where our commitment should be. There’s a need for young adults and old hands alike to reevaluate the crux of their commitment and ask each other to what end is our pursuit of happiness when the central reason of been here is left un attended to, I believe when this page called time is over, we’ll see the reality of what we’ve done and God help us if we fall short of his expectation.

It is written, the that know their God shall be strong and do exploit, its obvious that we can only do as much as we know, so its important for every child of God to seek to study and pray, recently I said to a grouped of believers, invest in prayer and again I say invest, the next moment I got thumbs up from each and everyone saying word, word. I was shocked, I expected we’ll go think about it and begin to practice what was said, we often are quick to put the emotion before the crux of the matter, I regard the emotion but can we be quick to remember that beyond the words there’s a place for action. So I say to you and every one out there, invest in knowing what God has written about your current situation and again I say invest.

There’s a place for falling in the calendar of God, not to say we should fall but he made allowance just in case we fall, now quit complaining of how hard you fell and stand up, dust yourself and lets go, the journey is far and we cannot continue to be laid back. Pick up your bible and read, it’s the only way to be able to say like Paul is written.

The bible record in revelation 3.20 behold I stand at the door and I knock…..let this article serve as another knock or call on you to awake and dig deeper into the mind of God as it concerns the call to duty. It is written my friends, call upon me in the days of trouble and I will answer. Those days are here. I hope you’ll call.
