DESTINY-ATION 2

January 27, 2016January 26, 20162 Comments

Now this is the point where you might want to get a Bible and read through Genesis 12&13. (I’ll be making a lot of reference to that)

THE CALL

You know that nagging feeling you’ve got in your chest, that certainty that you have what it takes to be great, impactful, that thing that makes you look to the mountain tops and see nothing but possibility; you just know there’s something more and yeah, you can’t shut down that feeling so quit trying because you my friend has heard the call.
“What now?” you say…

I tell you it’s your innate identity calling forth for manifestation. This call leaves you yearning for heights you’ve not yet reached. It promises you the world at your fingertips. When you got it you got it. You can deny it but please don’t numb it, don’t ignore it, now is the time to listen carefully. Suffice me to say that if you go ahead to do something about this without God being involved you might find yourself in a good old shipwreck and oh how great your frustration would be. So please do yourself a favour,

GET GOD INVOLVED

If you have not given your life to Jesus Christ’s care, you desperately need to now. I tell you it was the best decision I ever made and I’m undoubtedly sure that it would be yours too.
(If you have no one who you can talk to immediately, just say the salvation prayer at the top right pane of this page in faith and then you can send us a mail to our official address: christapoet@gmail.com for further questions, prayer or counselling)

So now that you’ve got God in, what you want to do is listen, instructions are on their way.

Stay tuned…

Above all, do not touch Christianity unless you are willing to seek the Kingdom of God first. I promise you a miserable existence if you seek it second.

THE MEANS JUSTIFIES THE END…

‘The end justifies the means’ is a very common statement, especially amongst consequentialists. This is a school of thought that says that it does not matter how you came about your result, the most important thing is that you have a result. If you’ll have to kill to win elections, it’s all good provided the election is won. If you’ll have to cheat to pass, it’s okay provided your grades are up. If we have to kill a hundred people to find a cure for HIV/AIDS, it’s alright provided a cure is found. I can go on and on.

Interestingly, this consequentialism theory has eaten deeply into the fabrics of the church. It does not matter what you do as a Pastor, your success is justified by the membership strength of your church. You will pull multitudes to your crusades provided there will be miracle galore, how it happens is no one’s business.

Well, the new normal is this: “THE MEANS JUSTIFIES THE END”.

As much as your results validates your abilities, it is the process that justifies it. I understand that it is difficult to break out of a dogma, especially if you are comfortable with it, but I challenge you today to sit on the other side of the table.

“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wiae man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.”
Matt. 7:22-25 (KJVL).

If the process is right, the result will last.

DESTINY-ATION

Watch your thoughts; they become words
Watch your words; they become actions
Watch your actions; they become habits
Watch your habits; they become character
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny
Frank Outlaw

As many times as the word destiny is used, it is quite a shock the number of people who are left clueless at the question of their destiny. Now this ain’t a quick fix so I don’t want you to read this looking for a definite answer to that one question as it applies to you, rather I hope by reading you’ll find yourself map, because in my opinion as humble as it is I believe you’re in search of not just your destiny but a destination; hence the coinage Destiny-ation.

Now for folks who like my dictionary feel I’m talking about fate and its inevitability: you may not get me. Be aware that I speak of purpose, I speak of a predetermined course that holds the key to your fulfilment as a human being; it is as easy to miss as it is to obtain. Better put, I’d say it is the reason you were created. Many don’t believe in this but history has proved over time that those who don’t have often come to realize at their sunset days that they were dismally wrong.
So yes, we all got a destiny; something we ought to do, someone we ought to be in the nearest future. It is our purpose, it is the reason we breathe, in it lies our fulfilment. The question however that bugs more than a few is how to discover it, to know it, so that one can focus and achieve that one thing that makes all the difference.

In this short series, we look to understand and wield the truth of destiny.

To be continued.

BEYOND RESULTS…

January 18, 2016January 16, 2016Leave a comment

I happen to find myself in a world where men are assessed and addressed according to their results. Everybody wants to see what you are offering; what you are bringing to the table. If you went to high school in my days, especially in my part of the world, then you have a clue of the pressure I was in always to come out tops in class (though I do not always come out tops). Every time I go below a certain level of performance, I often get to face this question: “Do the other students who performed better than you have more heads than you do?” You know what I am talking about, don’t you?

Results are very important as they form the major defining moments of our lives. We address Barack Obama as the President of the United States of America because he was declared winner of the elections that brought him into power. Bill Gates can be referred to as one of the richest men in the world because his worth is public knowledge. Lionel Messi can be seen as the most prolific footballer in recent history because of the results he has been able to garner. The list goes on.

As much as I am interested in the results, I want to know how you got it. I appreciate the money you always give me, but no offence to your personality, can I also know how you made it? No doubt, I love the ambience and awesome atmosphere of your worship centre. But beyond that, how did you get to this point?

Do not get it twisted, I am by no means envious of your attainments. As a matter of fact, I admire and desire them. I want to know how you got there. If there was anything I learnt in Mathematics, it is to always show how I got my results. Interestingly, I get more marks for my steps than I get for my results.

Friends, if you must do great exploits and ground-breaking achievements, you must not only desire to see results, desire to know the process.

“But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you” 1 Cor. 12:31 (ASV).
