!The Finale!
Tired of the mundane life?
Okay so was watching Wall - E! Yes Wall-E! and if you have not watched it, it is a must!! But watching it I realised a few things...firstly Wall-E is a great movie :P (lol) but most importantly about the way we live, and after watching a message from Bishop T D Jakes, about how we should Live on Purpose, think there are a lot of principles we need to apply to this so that this year is a year of purpose!!
A comfortable life, an easy life is what a lot of us work towards...Easy Street is where we look to buy our homes...but what was promised to us- a narrow road, an abundant life! None of these include comfortable and none of these include easy.
In Wall-E one of the characters decide that is time that the people to live and stop surviving- "I don't want to survive, I want to live'. Some of us just exist and forget that we have been given for a life! We go to church on a weekly basis (possibly) and get fat off the Word we receive - and the end result is a people who are hearers of the Word and not doers of the Word- living that easy life, comfortable and ordinary. But that becomes boring and mundane! Mainly because we were not created for an easy, ordinary life! But we were created for the extraordinary! Being God's workmanship we were created for good works! What does good look like to you? Walking an old lady across the street maybe? Giving to a charity regularly. What does good look like to God? Well when He created Creation, the world, He looked on that and said that was good! Creation was an extraordinary work and that's Gods standards of good! He's created us for good works!
He wants to awaken us to a life of purpose! He wants to awaken dreams, visions, passions and desires in us that will see us achieve the impossible through Him! We can't be like the man in the parable of the talents who buries what the master gives him out of fear. We are not survivors! We must allow what God has given us to increase. This includes walking in love! Loving others should be a fruit people see when we walk with Christ.
This year LIVE!
