Purpose and You
The school holidays has begun for a whole lot of us. We are looking at more than 4 weeks of freedom. That means 2 weeks of free time as well. So what do I do in these holidays?
Seeing as I have about 3 months, I’d better go look for a job. But while waiting for those companies to come begging on their knees for me to join them, I spent my time watching movies, or shall I say re-watching movies from the past.
I started off from Pirates Of Caribbean, the trilogy. And then I moved on to an all time favorite, Back to The Future Trilogy.
While on a bus journey that would take almost an hour and even more, there really aren’t many things you can do. You get bored. But the frantic actions of the characters in the film really caught my attention.
I begin to wonder, why is it that these characters never seem to slow down in their journey? Where does Jack Sparrow (Starred by Johnny Depp.. oooo….) get his energy from to escape the grasps of Davy Jones’ locker. Where did Marty Mcfly (starred by Michael J. Fox) get that kind of energy to save Doc from being murdered all the way in 1885?
Purpose. The answer is Purpose.
Someone once said that Purpose is the fuel for all dreams. Purpose is the one thing that turns empty and boring chores into fulfilling and satiable mission.
In the Pirates of Caribbean, the Flying Dutchman has to fulfill the chores of ferrying souls who died at sea over to World’s End. When Will Turner (Starred by Orlando Bloom, another OOoo…) took over as captain, Bootstrap Bill said,
“The Dutchman has a purpose again”.
Indeed, purpose is not something that comes from thin air. Purpose is something we ought to seek. Even the seeking of a purpose is a purpose. But the search for our purpose can take an extremely long time.
THANK GOD we have GOD to help us aye? Yeah.. But how many of us truly seek him for who he is and what he has installed for us?
More often than not, before we can give the Holy Spirit an opportunity to download information from Heaven, we close the connection. And hence, people complain that their lives were empty. Very little wonder why.
Without diligently seeking the Lord, how is it that we can find him? We always say that our God is good. So it goes without saying, good things require time to search and work for.
You cannot possible walk into Louis Vuitton and point to everything and tell the sales girl to give you one of each without first working hard to foot the enormous bill aft right?
If prayer is the currency in Heaven, then shouldn’t we be praying more so as to accumulate wealth? That way we can access God’s treasure house and receive all the Gucci, Prada and LV from Him.
But it is not all about just about what we can get from him. It is all about HIM.
H I M
It all starts with H I M and it will end with H I M. So our prayers should be focused on our love for H I M, what we can do for H I M, and His purpose for our lives.
That way, we would not waste time and go around in circles like drunkards trying to find our way.
So with all these ferocious preaching and testimonies about prayer going on, what are you people waiting for?
Now’s the season for prayer as I gather, so Heavenly gifts, wisdom, and so much more are up for grabs.
The great Heavenly sale is on, don’t bother about the Great Singapore Sale. Just GET ON YOUR Knees and Start praying.
You will find your purpose in Him once again. And perhaps, your Prada and Gucci are coming your way.

“Life’s a bitch.”
That would be the world’s way of saying that life on earth is imperfect and filled with trials and tribulations; where things usually do not go the way we like or planned it to be.
Human beings are constantly trying to simplify their lives. No matter with technology (think: Blackberry and other multi-tasking devices) or with their thought life. We seem to have an “Either-or” mentality. It involves us thinking in only one direction, believing that there can only be ONE answer to things in life. Consider the tussle between Science and Religion: which is the more accurate explanation to life? It is indeed a handful and each option seems to be as appealing as the other. But who ever told us we had to choose just one? Why can’t both options be the truth?
It is the oxymoron that contains the most truth; the ideas that go east and west at the same time.
We think that the questions above are made of conflicting ideas but as mind-boggling as it sounds, these “conflicting” ideas actually have complementary effects on each other. What Science cannot account for, Religion does. The scientists believe in the Big Bang, the supposed force which exploded us all into being. But till today, this is just a theory. Religion however, fills this gap: The Elohim God created the Earth and Universe. Instead of seeing them as separate and mutually exclusive entities, we should start stretching our minds to contain the oxymoron of life.
True freedom is controlled freedom. A kite without a string can fly freely, soaring high in the sky. But it is directionless, and subjected to the elements. What retrains it actually saves the kite from itself. Control is like the string when we are the kites. The blemish in the human race almost guarantees that we destroy all things meant for good. The total freedom to do what is “right” for one may be wrong to another, because it is so much based on personal choice. Freedom then becomes a tussle of the level of influence and impact of the individual choices. Then the essence of “true” freedom does not lie in the right to do whatever we want because it results in chaos. Rather, it is the knowledge of such a thing as “choosing not to”, and restraint that results in liberty. The oxymoron is at work again.
Even Jesus teaches the oxymoron that “the way up is the way down”, the way to greatness is through servanthood. All this may be confusing but when we are reminded that this Earth and its ways are created by God, whose “thoughts are higher than our thoughts” (Isaiah 55:9), everything come to light. We cannot fathom the oxymoron simply because we do not have His mind, yet. The beauty is that it is not impossible to attain that “higher” thought life. While in awe of His almighty wisdom, there should too be a longing to want to attain it.
Because life would then make sense, in its oxymoronic way. :)
