God does everything on Purpose.
Everything that God has made has a specific and purposeful design.
Hence, anything that he made, he made for a reason.
I'm going to hold on to this. I will find freedom in it and I am going to live my life according to God's purpose. So, the question to ask is what is God's purpose?
Many of us ask this question because we are trying to grab a hold to the meaning of it all. Why are we here? What is my purpose? Who made me and why?
God made us. He is the creator of all things. So he made the good, and he made the bad. He made happiness and he made sadness. Why? Why do we have to go through the things that we go through? Why do we have to live this life?
The simple answer: We were supposed to complete it, but we couldn't do it by ourselves. So God sent us his son to complete it for us. Now, it is finished. What we are supposed to realize is that we are now free. The Lord is coming back for us. Until we come in that complete understanding, we are to live life. Live it for God and spread the Good News of a savior.
I don't have all the answers but this is what I am seeking after. I am seeking after the truth. I am seeking after the right understanding and the right answer. I am seeking after righteousness. I am seeking after the Kingdom. I am seeking after my savior Jesus Christ.
I no longer wish to participate in the evil ways of the world.
How do I know what is evil?
Things that have no purpose is evil. It is "Futile." It doesn't generate any type of useful result. Most of us have been convinced that our lives were meant to work, produce a wage, gain the things of this world, perhaps make a better life for our children, then die. However, this is an incomplete cycle. God does not work in incompleteness. God creates systems that allows for process and growth. God always completes his purpose.
Instead of thinking that everyone should work for a living for the purpose of making money, let us complete the cycle. Everyone should aspire to work, in order to provide a better life for their children, and their children's children. Everyone, should be setting up systems that make it easier for the future generations to live happy and peaceful lives. This is what we really want, happiness, joy, and peace. Every person should set up these programs with the intentions of them growing in the future; having patience to endure the process and the wisdom for them to be self sustaining. Every person should grow in the understanding that yes, we do this for family, but more than that we do it for God's family; the Kingdom.
If we do it for any other reason than God's purpose, it is futile; producing no result.
Why is this?
Often times, people live, work, and aspire to achieve in order to gain notoriety in this world. This is the same temptation that the enemy tried with Jesus. The adversary tells us to gaze upon all the riches of the world. He tells us we can have it all, "if you just bow down and worship me. . . "
Why do we fall for this?
This is the problem with sin, it separates us from God an therefore separates us from God's purpose. Hence, we cannot function correctly and therefore we need a savior. We can not leave a true inheritance for our children unless we turn our lives over to the right thinking. We must turn our lives over to the Lord.
Why do we do the things that we do?
Why do we work like slaves and not set up anything for our children? Why do we work so hard for a false promise that is never going to happen? This world is not set up for you to win. This world is a false kingdom, with false promises, and false inheritances. We were purposed for more, we were purposed for better. We are not part of the world Kingdom, but we were purpose for God's Kingdom.
I'm not talking about setting up money in the bank, and cashing insurance checks when a loved one dies! I'm talking about setting up Kingdom Legacy. Having the time to teach our children about the ways of the Lord. This is freedom! This is the greatest inheritance that my natural father could have ever given me as his child. My dad taught us how to have and build a personal relationship with the Lord. I'm talking about having a family that clearly serves the Lord with mind, body, and soul.
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Joshua 25:15
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. I would rather walk in God's counsel, then the counsel of unjust men. I no longer desire to follow men who are led by sin and live their lives to their own lust. I pray that people start to see what ways are God's ways, and which ways are the World's ways.
The World's ways are fruitless and have no real purpose:
Education for Titles
Titles for Rank
Rank for Employment
Employment for Money
Money for stuff
Stuff for false happiness
False happiness for bragging rights
bragging for notoriety
notoriety for power
power for gain
gain for selfishness
selfishness for pride
pride for death
The wages of sin is death. Why do you work for death?
God's ways equal life
belief for faith
faith for growth
growth for relationship
relationship for wisdom
wisdom for understanding
understanding for light
light for life everlasting
life everlasting in the Kingdom with all the kingdom blessings
But first seek the Kingdom of heaven and its righteousness and all of these things shall be added unto you.
The most important thing that we want added to us is everlasting life with our heavenly father!
What is living righteous?
Living righteous is living right. Living righteous is living under the direction of the Holy Spirit. Living righteous is serving the King's purpose. Hence, we have to go through the process, we have to go through somethings in order to learn and in order to grow into Kingdom mindset.
This is not a hard thing to do. It just takes one, simple step: Believe in the Lord, that he died to reconnect us to the father so that we can have everlasting life. This is the reason why Jesus died. This was his purpose. Our weight is not as heavy as his.
Just start believing in him. He is the only way to everlasting life.
I think that everyone needs to go off and experience life for themselves. We can't just keep on living the way that someone else tells us to live, not unless it is the Holy Spirit. I am done learning from men. The word says:
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Psalms 1:1
Hence friends, I tell you this: Don't take any man's or woman's word for the truth. It is your responsibility to seek the Lord for yourself. Please do not take my word for it or anyone else's. Develop your relationship with the Lord. This is where your freedom is. I am moving on to other things. I am moving towards building a legacy. This legacy is not for myself, or my natural family; instead it is for my kingdom family. I am living for God's purpose. It is time for us to build up the Kingdom.
I need my writing to be purposeful and not futile. Therefore this is my last post until I get a clear vision about how this blog is purposeful to the Kingdom.
Until Next Time

Be blessed always
