Reminder on how to live in a purpose:
- Know your Destination
The North Star - symbol which the Wise Men guided them to the birth of Jesus Christ.
- Follow the Compass - it guides the direction.
The Difference of Map and Compas:
Compass - has four directions only - North, South, East and West.
Map – has many directions – Country, Cities, Towns, streets, roads, etc.
There are Crossroads along the Journey:
Life is full of choices.Check if your plans are linked to God’s plan.
In Isaiah 29:15 says:
“What sorrow awaits those who try to hide their plans from the LORD, who do their evil deeds in the dark! ‘The LORD can’t see us,” they say. ‘He doesn’t know what’s going on!’”
- A. Know God’s Purpose
Salvation to all Nations. (Our common purpose.)
In Galatians 3:13-14 (NIV) says:
“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘ Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.’ He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit."
- B. Obey God’s Purpose
Spread the Word of God. (Salvation to all Nations.)
In Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV) says:
“Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
- Be glad when your life is interrupted.
The more obstacles you have, the more opportunities there are for God to do something.
- Always use the tool for the journey.
In Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV) says:
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”
